Paul Mescal, the Irish actor who shot to fame in 2020 after his role in Normal People, recently opened up about his concerns regarding the potential increase in his fame. With his recent Oscar nomination and Laurence Olivier Award win, Paul's career has been on the rise. And now, with a lead role in the highly anticipated sequel to Gladiator, he is on his way to becoming a Hollywood star.
However, with fame comes the inevitable loss of privacy and anonymity. In an interview, Paul admitted that he worries about the impact his increased fame may have on his personal life. He fears that being recognized on the street by more and more people may lead to feelings of depression. He also expressed uncertainty about what this level of fame would mean for him.
Despite his success, Paul remains grounded and humble. He joked that if his fame becomes overwhelming, he may have to resort to doing "an obtuse play nobody wants to see." But in all seriousness, he hopes that fame does not change him and that he can continue to pursue meaningful work.
Paul's rise to fame has been nothing short of remarkable. From his breakout role in Normal People, based on the novel by Sally Rooney, to his current project All Of Us Strangers with Andrew Scott, he has proven himself to be a versatile and talented actor. However, with fame also come some negative experiences, as he has encountered people who have tried to take advantage of his fame.
Despite the challenges, Paul is excited for his upcoming role in Gladiator 2. He shared that he is working hard to get into shape for the physically demanding role of a warrior. The sequel, which was announced by Sir Ridley Scott in 2021, is expected to tie in with the original through the son of Lucille and nephew of Commodus, Lucius Verus.
As Paul's star continues to rise, he remains grateful for his fans and the opportunities that have come his way. He encourages anyone with a celebrity story to share to reach out to the entertainment team. And with his upcoming projects, such as Gladiator 2 and All Of Us Strangers, Paul's career is only getting started.
