I really respect Paul and the career choices he’s making. After Normal People blew up, he could have done high budget blockbusters with A list Hollywood stars that would pay him a lot of money, but instead he’s doing small meaningful indies with unknown directors, and it’s really paying off. He’s not a sell out. Aftersun was beautiful. Edit: I’m NOT saying that doing big budget movies makes you a sell out. But sometimes when an actor blows up, the choices they make afterwards aren’t always interesting projects, but are just movies where the entire selling point is the names of the stars in it :/
Umm I don't think him doing a comic book or superhero role makes him a sell out. Christian Bale and Adam Driver are great actors who have done both and did their absolute possible best with the sub par material they were given even in those films. James Gunn is overseeing DC's future plans. If he has anything interesting for Paul, like a complex villain of or anti-hero with a good script in a better well written DC movie, he should definitely at least consider it. Nolan also made 3 Batman movies and is one of Hollywood's top prestige directors working today. Is he a sell out? Isn't he a "high art director" making high concept films still? He's making whatever he wants today and people are interested.
@@nikitamohanan2124 umm where did I say that doing superhero movies would make him a sell out? Or that I was specifically referring to dc or superhero movies?? My point was that it’s very clear that he’s choosing movies that he actually cares about , and that he isn’t just doing something for a check.
@@Nancy-sf2pl not just superhero or comic book movies but you said "high budget blockbuster movies". So I gave some examples of talented prestige artists who did good work in those kinds of movies even if the material failed them. But I don't consider them a sellout.
Yeah, 2 really nice, young man which I hope will have beautiful careers. They deserve it! Loved Normal People and Conversations with friends where they both did a great job! So hope to see a lot of projects of them in the futur.
Joe really is the type of guy every woman would fall for. His looks, his mannerisms,the way he moves and talks is just so elegant. He has that quiet confidence that feels strong. OMG
Idk dude he really does have manners and a special charm. He’s like one of the royal family. But confidence? He actually seems to have issues with this one but I guess it depends on the people he’s with. And he seems also like the type who tends not to open up to strangers and it takes a long time for him to adjust to a deeper level of communication. But it’s just what I get just by listening and looking at him. But definitely he’s a nice and humble guy
I love how uplifting they are towards several women in the industry and the talk about SAFE intimacy on sets and how important it is to be safe in those situations.
Refreshing, isn't it? We had infinite numbers of celebrity men who get irritated when the topic of safe intimacy was brought up to the table as if they were about to lose their power
Paul’s hands down one of, if not, THE best actor of our generation. He’s such a master with the craft and it’s no wonder how he shot to stardom immediately after drama school. He can play such emotionally resonant characters that are wise beyond his years and make his characters feel so different. His performance as Connell was probably one of the greatest performances in television by a young male actor. Even in AfterSun, he just feels like a radically different person and the camera just drinks him in. I don’t know what’s the secret behind his process, but he’s going to be here for a LONG time to come. Every young actor should learn from him.
A number of young actors (Kit Connor, Joe Locke, and the girl from House of the Dragon) have said they want to have similar career paths following their respective success on their hit shows. Paul is easily the standout of his generation, and you can see it with the way other people his age (and older) are reacting to him.
@@hellodolly2551 shut the fuck up, taylor was his girlfriend for like 6 years, and friends with Phoebe also (phoebe was dating Paul at that time). That means they were all close and maybe they all shared that, taylor is no stranger to them and could be involved in the idea or the joke, whatever. She is totally entitled to say whatever the fuck she wants about it because she was the one in the relationship.

oh my god yes! im watching just before going to sleep, already in bed w my cup of hot tea and ive never felt safer in my whole life. and its really something, especially after a couple of years of depression and anxiety that never seem to really go away, and yet they've given me peace. forever in awe of that
I saw Aftersun in theatres early November and I’m STILL feeling affected by it everyday since. Completely mesmerized by the restraint Paul used to portray his character. And Charlotte Wells is a brilliant director
Aftersun is the best film I’ve seen in a while. Everything about it was just beautiful. I think Paul is a brilliant actor and he did an amazing job there.
Cannot wait for Joe to have that one role that really gets people talking - directors are already chasing him and he’s getting stellar roles (literally always booked) but we all know it takes only one
@@ichokedonadoritoonce7670 Watched some of his works, nothing special, pretty face without expessions...there are many more talented actors, even Paul Mescal did a great job in his movies
Joe is such a stand up guy, he’s not responding to the drama surrounding his split with Swift. But, I imagine if he had a response to So Long, London it would be Alison by Elvis Costello. Wishing Joe the best on his upcoming movie.
I'm a simple gay, I see Paul Mescal I click. But jokes aside he's a phenomenal actor, His performance in Aftersun wrecked me😩 Every role I'm right there.

God Joe truly is gorgeous 😊 My dumb ass thinking that they’re group chat name sounds familiar to something I heard about and realizing after all this time her upcoming album might be about Joe
I have watched every interview about Aftersun and wish they had more views so more people would find out about this amazing movie. SO happy to see this on my feed♥️♥️
@Matej Jovanov ur telling me that ur coming on here to judge ppl u don't even know and their alleged beliefs saying that's not christian? look at yourself, you have so much to judge on u
@Matej Jovanov u know damn well that wasn't what i meant. what i meant (i hope ur brain gets it this time): christianity is not percieved in the same way by every person who defines themselves as christian. a person can be christian and not take every word of the bible literally and try to apply that in every situation and minding other people's business. christianity should be first of all a person's relationship with god, not a set of strict rules to follow. it's your problem if u feel like their sense of christianity doesn't match yours, that doesn't mean u can judge them. do yourself a favor and shut up. tell god you just called someone u don't even know a 'hog' just to "defend" christian values, i'm sure he'll be delighted
I'm sure Miss Billionaire will be laughing all the way to the bank. It will take a very strong man to handle her level of fame, a weak man could never servive. Pretty vs Petty, could sell, tickets to that.
When Joe said, “I would love to work with a first time director…maybe in someone’s first film” the week after Taylor’s team confirmed she’d be directing her first feature film 😉 yep, GOT IT.
I love his voice. I can see why Taylof fell for him so hard. Very classy and intelligent guy, not to mention gorgeous. Too bad it didn't work out between them
Finally worked out who Joe Alwyn reminds me of re his acting - Tom Courtenay. Good things to come I’m sure, from both - very different but excellent actors.
Alwyn has been very good in some thankless roles. I first noticed him as Lucas Hedges's terrible boyfriend in Boy Erased; he made a strong impression. Then he's done heel duty in some other things, such as Harriet, and The Favorite, in which every character was some shade of awful (although I loved it). I haven't seen the film he's talking about here, but I'm glad he's not typecast.
Is he? Classy? Got this interview because of connections (he's not on the level of Paul Mescal who has an Oscar nom). TIME's 100 list in 2022 for...what exactly? Undeserved production credits in aoty album. This guy got so many things he didn't work for at all.
When I first read that Paul Mescal was cast in Normal People and saw his headshot, I was a bit skeptical, but his acting absolutely blew me away. I wish I could see the casting directors' reaction, when they saw this unassuming guy read...
