Opening Up with Paul Mescal
_Gladiator._ _Normal People._ _Aftersun._ And now _Hamnet._ Paul Mescal has become a vessel for our many ideas: of grief, lust, longing, masculinity, vulnerability. Whichever image you’ve cast upon Mescal, it is clear that we’ve been watching the first act of a leading man who doesn’t quite fit the old template. Here, GQ’s Adam Baidawi delves deeper with the Irish actor in a bid to establish a stronger, more intimate connection with the man behind the Hollywood facade.
