    Normal people is one I’ll never get over. What a truly phenomenal show with such an impressive cast. Very few things have made me feel as many feelings as that show did. I’m happy to hear that he’s so proud of it - as he should be!

    He deserved the Oscar for Aftersun. The most heart breaking and real depiction of depression I’ve ever seen. So understated and raw. Phenomenal performance. I still think about it regularly.

      I just watched Aftersun for the first time, and I agree with you. Both Paul and Frankie Corio were incredible. Frankie should have received an Oscar nomination.

      Nobody could have played the roles better than Paul and Daisy! I think the casting and the chemistry were entirely quintessential to the success of the show!

    he's just this kind of person who obviously cares very deeply about his job and the characters he plays and still seems so awestruck by the other actors he is surrounded with, and i think that just makes him very charming and a person you want to know, because you can sense his kindness in the way he speaks and holds himself

    I was a recently divorced father with a young daughter when "Aftersun" came out and when I saw it, it absolutely broke me.
    When my friends asked me how do I feel I just told them to go watch Aftersun, since it is 100% how I felt at the time.
    Incredible film, and a very talented actor!

    Aftersun and All of Us Strangers have an eerie heartbreaking similarity, both offer a take on childhood memory, the depths, pain, and fragility? of a parent-child relationship. The relationship between both films and Mescals portrayal of both characters is so magnificent to me, I need someone to study and write a paper on it lol

    I was pregnant when I first watched Normal People and cried for almost an hour after the last episode. I was so attached to Marianne and Connell. So much so, when I had thought about the last scene a week later, I sobbed for another hour. Thank you, Paul. This was my Roman Empire!

    When you find out what happened to his character in All of Us Strangers, it’s pretty devastating. I think I sobbed through the entire second half of that movie. When they show you his reality at the end and then go back to fantasy and Andrew is just holding him, It’s like a stab in the heart.

      Hard to describe, but he’s the new generation of young actors-sensitive, emotionally vulnerable, not excessively masculine. All the Russell Crowe fans were disappointed he didn’t turn in a similar performance in Gladiator 2.
