Paul Mescal, 29, shot to fame in the BBC's Normal People in 2020, before starring in acclaimed films Aftersun and All of Us Strangers, and playing the lead in the Gladiator sequel.

The 29-year-old Irish actor, who shot to fame with the TV adaptation of “Normal People,” earned an Oscar nomination for his stunning work in “Aftersun” and became a global megastar with “Gladiator 2,” flashes his acting chops along with his abs in a revival that reignites Williams’ classic.

Mescal’s short monologue first focused on his reputation for very serious roles in movies such as “Aftersun” and “All of Us Strangers,” and not for comedy.

He subsequently appeared in All of Us Strangers, Foe and The Lost Daughter, and was Oscar nominated for his performance in 2022's Aftersun.

Told in four chapters over the span of a little less than 20 years, Colombian American writer-director Alessandra Lacorazza’s gorgeous feature debut may call to mind other singular indies such as “Moonlight” and “Aftersun” in its structure and themes, but this deceptively modest autobiographical drama is so precise and insightful that it comfortably occupies its own emotional landscape.
