Hollywood’s Hottest Irishman Paul Mescal Eyes Queer Classic Role

Paul Mescal in Gladiator II (Paramount Pictures)

Paul Mescal, the Irish hottie who’s got everyone talking, is aiming for a juicy new part. He wants to play Sonny in Dog Day Afternoon. Al Pacino did it first in 1975. It’s about a guy who robbed a bank for his trans wife’s surgery. Mescal thinks it’s “layered”. We think he’s hot.

From Emmy Nods to Oscar Buzz

Mescal’s not just a pretty face. He got an Emmy nod for Normal People. Then he snagged an Oscar nom for Aftersun. The guy’s on fire. He even won an Olivier Award for playing Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire. Talk about range!

War, Love, and Gladiators

Mescal’s dance card is full. He’s doing a World War I love story with Josh O’Connor. They play guys recording American voices during the war. Sounds steamy. Then there’s Gladiator II. Yep, he’s stepping into Russell Crowe’s sandals. Fans are losing it.

Queer Drama Alert

In All Of Us Strangers, Mescal gets cozy with Andrew Scott. Critics love his soft side in this queer drama. It’s clear Mescal can play it all – tough, tender, you name it.

Mescal is also speaking up for LGBTQIA+ folks in Hollywood. His parts often click with queer audiences.

Mescal’s star is rising fast. He’s nailing it on stage, screen, and in critics’ hearts. Whether he’s flexing in a gladiator outfit or smooching Andrew Scott. Watch this space.
