Paul Mescal Looks Every Inch The Movie Star At Gladiator II Premiere
Paul Mescal made a big impression when Gladiator II premiered in London this week.
The Irish actor takes the lead in the much-hyped sequel to Ridley Scott’s award-winning movie, which is finally due to hit cinemas on Friday.
On Wednesday night, the Bafta winner joined the rest of the cast at the film’s premiere in London, and it’s fair to say he’s never looked more like a movie star.
Although he kept it simple with his outfit, Paul looked extremely suave as he walked the red carpet in a black suit and white shirt, with a white tie loosened around his neck.
Fortunately for Paul, he had a fair few A-list supporters on the night.
He was seen posing for photographers with Andrew Scott, with whom he starred in last year’s acclaimed drama All Of Us Strangers.
Paul’s sister, the singer Nell Mescal, was also in attendance for the Gladiator II premiere.
Meanwhile, Paul was also seen having a laugh with director Ridley Scott, and shared a moment with co-stars like Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Joseph Quinn and Fred Hechinger.

Gladiator II picks up 15 years after the events of the first movie, with Paul playing Lucius, the son of Russell Crowe’s character, who is now grown up and trains to become a gladiator himself.
The sequel has so far received largely positive reviews, with both Paul and Denzel being tipped for recognition during awards season next year.
Meanwhile, its director has also been quick to dismiss anyone taking issue with supposed historical inaccuracies in Gladiator II.
