Paul Mescal on journey from 'Normal People' to 'Gladiator II': My job as an actor is same

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi, Irish star Paul Mescal, who steps into the big arena with his headlining role in "Gladiator II" after breakout performances in "Normal People" and "Aftersun", says he felt a sense of relief when he realised that the nature of his job remained the same on the Ridley Scott-directed movie despite its scale. Paul Mescal on journey from 'Normal People' to 'Gladiator II': My job as an actor is same The actor, 28, admits that he initially found it difficult to wrap his head around the film, Scott's ambitious follow-up to his 2000 classic, which won five Oscars, including best picture and best actor trophy for lead star Russell Crowe. Mescal said, for him, "Gladiator II" is just a "different kind of film". What was fascinating for Mescal, who has become a critics favourite with his portrayal of deeply emotional and complex men in miniseries "Normal People" as well as indie hits "Aftersun" and "All of Us Strangers", was the fact that he found Lucius to be "equally vulnerable" like his previous characters.
