Paul is one of the most exciting young actors right now. Aftersun rocked me hard. I’m 37 my dad committed suicide 2 years ago and now I do therapy struggling with my own mental health. I can relate to the child role and the struggling father role.
I mean the hat did look worn...I guess his publisher/manager whatever sent in a list and they didn't bring all the items...so the sunbeam-seasalt spray was a surprise f.e. :D
This man is on a warpath to make viewers of his shows/films feel every possible emotion, and the sad ones twice. Such a good actor I hope he's nominated this year
Same for a lot of us. Normal People, I've seen 4 times or so, all the way through. So incredibly good. Daisy, his co-star, is also amazing. She isn't even Irish, but her accent is spot-on.
Beyond adorable, I could listen to him all day- his acting blows my heart wide open. He’s the most moving actor I think I’ve ever experienced- I’m with him on the old fashioned headphones!
So adorable. Love his beautiful blue eyes. He's a wonderfully gifted young actor. His ability to show vulnerability in his work, as well as personally, is remarkable. He has a great career ahead of him.
That's my favorite poem! Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
I'm French, and I discovered him in "Normal people", where I was immediately touched by his personality and his extreme sensitivity. Of course I rushed to see Aftersun when it hit theaters.This movie also confirmed me that he his a great awesome actor. I wish him and expect an Oscar for him, that he really deserve!! I like his natural in interviews, almost a little shy. He's so cute! 😍🤩
This is what makes him one of the best actors of our time. He draws the emotion out of you. So that it’s you, regardless of your current situation, that is being played in the silent moments throughout his acting. One of a kind. Brilliant brilliant brilliant. Can’t wait for what’s to come for him.
So sweet genuine and full of Irish charm...love him...I just watched Aftersun and was one of the most memorable and moving film I saw in my life...wish him the best!
I just love everything that he has been on since his first work. I truly believe he's one of the best actors of his generation and I would not be surprised if he gets nominated or win an Oscar in the future.
I love Another 13. It’s described as like flipping through fashion magazines, the ones that also have perfume sample pages. It’s comforting and nostalgic, interesting but still a bit subtle.
Thank you Paul for sharing your stuff good luck with all that you do stay grounded. I am looking forward to see your latest film, you come across as real nice guy your a star xx❤
oscars are so irrelevant these couple of years that in my opinion is better to not get a nomination. general public and critics showed their love for the film, no matter the nominations.
omg i didn’t know he was going to do Stanley in ASND!!! this is literally my fav play ever, couldn’t be more excited. also he seems to be such a fun and relatable person (outside of being a great actor ofc)! i have the same vitamins as him and i do agree - they are lifesavers
I knew from the beginning he was playing Stanley in the Almeida Theater in Islington in December and January. A pity I live overseas, so that's a bit far 😕to go to a performance of ASND.
What makes Paul attractive imo is the attainability. He isn't a classical beauty to look at and isn't a huge personality either. His regularity in looks and personality really stands out. It helps that he is so talented so young and the people he has worked with all have great things to say about him and his work.
@@PatkaBoy831 Rugged? I normally associate ruggedly handsome with men with beards. I don’t know. Maybe cause he looks a bit older than his age? Either way, I think he’s a good looking dude, we can all agree on that lol
Wow..the song ‘lullaby’ wrecks my soul. Somehow I’m not surprised he would have this on his playlist. There is something haunting, painful, sad, loving..joyful, and arresting. The very emotions he portrays so well in his work. How could you not love this guy? 🥹
I was very doubtful when I heard he was cast as lead in Gladiator 2. I only saw him in one film. Didn't particularly had an effect on me. But I saw a handful of interview recently and I must say I've changed my mind. I can totally see him in ancient Rome now.
The way he tries to avoid looking directly at the camera whenever he possibly can without it being too rude is what got me. I love him.
Ya you fancy him because of that
Probably not used to it. In movies he isn't looking at the camera, in interviews he is looking at the interviewer.
really respect him opening about therapy and speaking so honestly and encouragingly to his audience!
Omg so cool totes amazing
@@userafpk be more sarcastic, you loser.
yes!!!!! all his advice i resonate HEAVILY with
Werner Herzog would disagree
manifesting that he’s gonna be nominated at the oscars for ‘aftersun’
Me too!! I’m rooting really hard for him and the movie this awards season
You are wishing or praying! Or are you into the TV series Manifest?
Hope so.
How amazing would that be!!!
there'll definitely be big bafta buzz for aftersun
God this was like being on a date. What an absolute gem of a human. Love the vulnerability, love the jumper too.
right😭 im like blushing wtf
I felt the same 😅 my heart started to beat so fast as soon as I started to watch, I got so shy for some reason 😅😂 what a man... ❤
Paul is one of the most exciting young actors right now. Aftersun rocked me hard. I’m 37 my dad committed suicide 2 years ago and now I do therapy struggling with my own mental health. I can relate to the child role and the struggling father role.
❤
much love for you
Sending you lots of positive energy!! ❤🍀 RIP your dad
sending much love ❤
Sorry for your loss. I'm sending you all my love.
The fact that he remains so shy and humble makes my knees bend 🥰
Awe
He laughs at everything he says 😂. One of my fav things about Paul💙
His mother died, he laughed.
Its a nervous tick that shows he only has minutes to live. Fear not he has a very successful career in the after life as a window clearing guru.
Aftersun sala ne ?
@@piyushkalita3223 yes
i do that alot and i feel like it annoys people, it's one of my insecurities.
Idk why but it feels like he was told to say those were his 10 essentials and he is discovering each one live on the interview. He is very sweet.
I mean the hat did look worn...I guess his publisher/manager whatever sent in a list and they didn't bring all the items...so the sunbeam-seasalt spray was a surprise f.e. :D
This man is on a warpath to make viewers of his shows/films feel every possible emotion, and the sad ones twice. Such a good actor I hope he's nominated this year
Normal People and Aftersun have successfully created in me an unhealthy obsession with this man
Same for a lot of us. Normal People, I've seen 4 times or so, all the way through. So incredibly good. Daisy, his co-star, is also amazing. She isn't even Irish, but her accent is spot-on.
I just finished watching Normal People for the 3rd time, only get's better. @@womanofacertainage5892
Could listen to him all day long, adorable voice, smile and charisma. Fabulous actor too
Keep it in your pants
Scottish bane
@@helenogbonna3361 he is irish
Beyond adorable, I could listen to him all day- his acting blows my heart wide open. He’s the most moving actor I think
I’ve ever experienced- I’m with him on the old fashioned headphones!
I need him so bad. No but really he’s SO talented and I’m really excited to see his career blast off, he deserves all the recognition
Stranger danger...!!!!.....!!!!!
Absolutely people like him and Josh O Conner are talented not like the overrated Timothee Chalamet
You want him?
So adorable. Love his beautiful blue eyes. He's a wonderfully gifted young actor. His ability to show vulnerability in his work, as well as personally, is remarkable. He has a great career ahead of him.
That's my favorite poem!
Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Love his work on Normal People. Very underrated actor and series that no one ever talks about. ❤
Yes!
underrated? girl lol
@@tiagoribeiro3088LOL right??? Like do we live on the same internet???
@@tiagoribeiro3088 where else do you hear his name besides here? Lol
no one talks about? it felt inescapable...he was everywhere with the internet hoards
I just love him so much. He is just someone you want to see again and again on and off screen....
So sweet genuine and full of Irish charm...love him...I just watched Aftersun and was one of the most memorable and moving film I saw in my life...wish him the best!

A well aged comment
Paul Mesaal and Andrew Scott working together…sign me up. Two amazingly talented actors.
Omg, two amazing Irish actors, I would die 🥰(Imagine you add Aidan Turner 👀)
the way he laughs at everything is so endearing
Literally so calm I love his energy
I love his personality, and the fact he likes wired headphones. What a gorgeous man and talented actor. Adorable!
He's so sweet and genuine I love him
This man is going to be one of the greatest actors of our generation. He is becoming bigger and bigger each movie he makes.
He’s amazing in Aftersun! So in love with this guy right now. Wish him all the best in his career this 2023!
OMG this man and his work in Aftersun, weeped like a baby
I can't listen to Under Pressure without tearing up! 😩
He’s so 🥰 such a calm and wholesome lad
the editing at 5:53 got me lol i see you GQ editors
When he said Robbers , my heart Stopped 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
His voice is so soothing
I literally just finished rewatching normal people and was in tears from the ending and them this pops up 💀
Exact same method for me. Beautiful show
I just rewatched as well! So many tears…
LITERALLY SAME OMG
Same and now I’m reading the book
This is the best one of this series. no BS You go paul!
Hope he gets nominated. I think it's a bit of a long shot but he is very deserving!
he got the nomination ❤
I love Another 13. It’s described as like flipping through fashion magazines, the ones that also have perfume sample pages. It’s comforting and nostalgic, interesting but still a bit subtle.
It's the only Le Labo smell that i really don't like. To me it just smells chemically and minty and not something i'd want to spray on myself.
@@IndieRockerHippy it's smells so good and so right on my skin... shame about the price 😂
it literally smells like clean skin. like body odour but in a good musky way
I just love him.
another irish legend i'm so proud of🫶🏻🇮🇪
another boring no good Irish boy who should be brou..............................
@@rsswdyour just another boring no good hating piece of shi.....................
Is it weird that I just fell even more in love with him because he uses the good old impractical WIRED earbuds? I'm not alone 😭😭
People look better in those for some reason. The motion of putting them on is sexy. Don't know about the detangling though.
@@leonore3349 Weird but very true!
I love my wired earbuds. I can't stand wireless ones. It is what it is.
The quote on his worry stone is inspired by the poem “Cloths of Heaven” by WB Yeats
best 7 minutes in my life thank you GQ
he’s so adorable
He’s sooooooo cute and interesting! You can tell he’s a cool dude and obviously a great actor! Cheers to his bright future
I am in love with this man
dude's been the object of my admiration for 3 years
So apparently he’s 28?
Slowly, But Surely, Falling In Love With Paul Mescal❤
omg i don't know how many times i watch this video repeately. he is just shining
I love his sweatshirt. I’ll forget him not! He’s incredible.
him, the jumper, his personality... i love him
Love that he’s such a normal person
i am obsessed with this man
Thank you Paul for sharing your stuff good luck with all that you do stay grounded. I am looking forward to see your latest film, you come across as real nice guy your a star xx❤
He’s such a presh. Same age as my youngest son.. they look alike too.
Wishing all the best to this guy.. he’s a good one
What is a presh?
5:05 same. i replay that part because this is exactly what i think about people who do that.
Such an incredible actor.
He better get an oscar nomination for Aftersun.
oscars are so irrelevant these couple of years that in my opinion is better to not get a nomination. general public and critics showed their love for the film, no matter the nominations.
He did 😊
@@tatiane_cordeiro yessssss
Oh, I love him 😍
paul mescal you will always be famous
He’ll never be famous
im obsessed with this man oml hes so talented
he’s so charismatic omg
Paul is so socially awkward, it’s cute.
???
?? wtf
He isn't. He was always outgoing, played Gaelic football and was a captain.
you're projecting
I don't think he's socially awkward. He just seems like a regular Irish boy. No pretense.
Man does therapy 😍 We loooveee
I love the Edit on "I have a really big head" xD Great work British GQ Edit team !
The fact that he’s listening to legendary indie rock band Low makes him even more amazing.
5:10 I never heard something so relatable in my life 🤣 I hate loud people or noises in general!
he’s a wired headphone user!!! slay
People who play music in public are the worst! Yesss! Yet another reason to love him
Paul looks like he’s seeing half of these items for the first time
Paul Mescal should be cast as Michael Collins in a biopic he would be perfect in the role
congrats on the oscar nomination Paul. Been a fan for quite some time.
He is now an Academy Award nominated actor! WHAAAAAA! 😍
the little "hmm. mmm." when he smells the aftershave is so cute
I've watched the sea salt spray part like 10 times in a row now....its hilarous :D
I can’t be the only one who gets huge Robert pattinson vibes from Paul.
I'm with you :)
He’d never seen that Sun Bum spray in his life 😭😭😭
omg i didn’t know he was going to do Stanley in ASND!!! this is literally my fav play ever, couldn’t be more excited. also he seems to be such a fun and relatable person (outside of being a great actor ofc)! i have the same vitamins as him and i do agree - they are lifesavers
I knew from the beginning he was playing Stanley in the Almeida Theater in Islington in December and January. A pity I live overseas, so that's a bit far 😕to go to a performance of ASND.
Unfortunately it’s all sold out😭
@@christinescheepmans7693 yup that’s such a pity, i hope they will film the performance so that it’ll be accessible somewhere tho!
He’s got me excited about films again.
i didn’t really get the Paul Mescal trend but seeing him with green indoor gazelles and a forget me not Pullover I think I get it now
He fits with Adidas sneakers. I can't take my eyes off him in the Normal Ppl. Love him ❤
Paul mescal playlist arethe best
i'm in love with this man

It helps that he is so talented so young and the people he has worked with all have great things to say about him and his work.
I don’t know, I feel like he’s a pretty conventionally handsome man.
He could easily play a Greek god.
Perfectly said
@@AlkoWasAlreadyTaken I actually agree with you. I have seen others say he's ruggedly handsome.
@@PatkaBoy831 Rugged? I normally associate ruggedly handsome with men with beards. I don’t know. Maybe cause he looks a bit older than his age? Either way, I think he’s a good looking dude, we can all agree on that lol
his performance in aftersun is my fav performance of all time
yesss fellow spotify user, I want Paul mescal's spotify so bad so I can follow him on there too
omg niall horan?
btw he was incredible in normal people and i hope he’s gonna be nominated at the oscar for aftersun
Wow..the song ‘lullaby’ wrecks my soul. Somehow I’m not surprised he would have this on his playlist. There is something haunting, painful, sad, loving..joyful, and arresting. The very emotions he portrays so well in his work. How could you not love this guy? 🥹
We have the same sentiments with Berroca lol a must have indeed. 👏
i agree wholeheartedly with the wired headphones!
we love this man
5:53 This was so trippy hahaha
I was very doubtful when I heard he was cast as lead in Gladiator 2. I only saw him in one film. Didn't particularly had an effect on me. But I saw a handful of interview recently and I must say I've changed my mind. I can totally see him in ancient Rome now.
He's started to get buff in gym sessions - so watch out!
@@CC3193 Yeah I heard that
he has the face!!
@@meghansullivan6812 Totally. He has a marble shaped kind of face lol
him and pedro pascal have the same adorable energy
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH PAUL MESCAL
The editor making Paul's head bigger when he talks about his New York Yankees cap - 05:52
There is one thing I can’t live without: Paul Mescal 😜
I adore Paul! 💙💙💙
oh im IN LOVE with this man
Are we going to acknowledge at 5:25 when he casually drops the live robbers song in his playlist?
Lol trust when i found his Spotify ages ago I was like !!!
What’s his Spotify
