Yeah thanks for nothing. iPlayer doesn't work for anyone outside the UK...
I adore this interviewer!! So kind and seems like he actually truly enjoys interviewing and genuinely seems like such a lovely person! And Paul is lovely as well, and so talented!
Every interview I’ve seen him do is great. Press must be tiring and almost boring at times, but he keeps it fresh and always puts the actors at ease. Excellent job!
He's really good
The one and only, Ali Plumb.
I love Paul. Talented. Humble. Smart. Thoughtful. I'm excited for everything he's going to do. Normal People wrecked me then Aftersun finished me off.
this interviewer was lovely! it’s nice just seeing people have a conversation
Just watched All of Us Strangers yesterday and was bawling through two thirds of it. The ending broke me. Paul and Andrew were brilliant together.
I wrote my thesis on Aftersun!!! A life-changing film for sure :))
The ending of Aftersun is still with me. Frequently find myself thinking about it
Totally. It’s one of those films I constantly think about since watching.
Same. And now also this movie, All of us strangers.
Let’s get a petition to see Paul Mescal in something outright hilarious plz
Greg James, Ali Plumb and Paul Mescal aka the Trinity of wholesomeness.
Paul is phenomenal in all of us strangers it had me UNWELL
i am obsessed with him. such an amazing actor and such a likable, charming person.
I just love him and he’s just so adorable ❤
Haha Paul Mescal in a Family Christmas Movie would be hilarious! Maybe a subversive Irish version.
Two favourite people ❤
When he spits at the mirror!!! OMG
Really looking forward Paul next project, this dude has subtelty, finnese talent and more charismatic than Timmy Chalamet. Aftersun has depth meaning and i love that film with every fibre of my being.
Que buena entrevista, hace algunos días empece a ver algunas de sus peliculas, es un gran actor, estoy segura de que le esperan grandes proyectos (más grandesproyectos), espero y verlo ganar un Oscar algún día, estoy orgullosa de mi querido Paul Mescal
That 👍Happy Christmas 👍part is gonna be a meme one day :)
Paul should be the next James Bond. I think it’s a sneaky good bet too since he’s 40/1 or something like that and if Gladiator 2 is good he might get the part after proving himself in an action film
@@anabeatrizdias5293 ok?
Really don’t want him to be stuck with a Bond franchise- think he’s better than that
@@anabeatrizdias5293 I’m talking about gambling not his age 😂
BRO HE IS 28
@@jens2049 you’re not a gambler I take it? 😂
i love him
He gave the chain to Daisy🥹
Daisy chain 🌼
💗💗💗
finally.
It's great that this outstanding and brilliant actor supports the LGBTQ movement with his art.
Hey would love if you could do one with h Matt bomer and Jonathan Bailey for fellow travelers pls 🙏🏻🥺
wait the usage of Angeles by Elliott Smith at the end??? whose choice?????!!!
10:26 Coincidentally, my sex scenes are all blooper/ gag reels too
The only film funnier than Aftersun is God’s Creatures
Oh God I saw that at the cinema! The ending was deserved TBF
He's been in like 3 things, why is he getting a career retrospective? 😂
Am I the only person who seems bothered by the fact that he seems to enjoy making people miserable with his work and won't even consider trying new things? The comment about feeling happy about watching audience members at one of his films be upset is frankly disturbing and I believe reflects a character flaw, not an artistic choice.
I didn't pick up on that comment as being disturbing or even strange. He is drawn to scripts that are emotional and explore sad themes, and he likes seeing that the audience is emotionally connecting to what he's made, and sometimes that's expressed through crying. I was sobbing at the end of 'All of us strangers' but I also felt encouraged and motivated to make positive changes after watching it, so it didn't result in feeling miserable just because I was crying. I think Paul Mescal comes across as a sensitive, emotionally intelligent guy but I did find it interesting to read your comment and see how perceptions can be so different.
Thanks for your reaction and I see your point to an extent. The thing is, I believe that there are multiple ways to feel motivated and make positive changes - being sensitive, I believe, doesn't mean only "sensing" what brings pain. A true artist has not only the ability but should also have the desire to evoke the emotions you described by perhaps making the audience laugh, feel hope, be empowered, be uplifted, get excited, be afraid, get inspired, etc. and those possibilities don't just grow from tears. I, too, cried at the end of the film, as I did watching Afterburn, and Normal People. His talent is undeniable. I simply need to separate that talent from what my experience working with young people for many years is a red flag for him as a person - in short, there's nothing wrong with being pleased by watching audience reaction to his "sad" films but I truly believe he should be just as excited about seeing the same response from things that don't necessarily start from making us sad.@@TheLadyDelirium
