Paul Mescal Is Our Disappointment Heartthrob (Vulture)

What makes the Irish actor Paul Mescal so compelling on screen? Other heartthrobs exude swagger or sex, but in films like Aftersun, the Oscar-nominated ...

Frozen forever at this age in her memory, he makes earnest, fumbling efforts to be a good dad, a different dad, one she can open up to and talk honestly with about anything, while at the same time awareness of his impending absence looms over everything — he’s already gone. Even his handsomeness is less typical of the movie stars whose ranks he’s well on the way to joining and more like that of the most crushed-on guy at your local high school. Calum’s the part that’s gotten Mescal his first Academy Award nomination, and it’s also the best encapsulation to date of the particular hope and heartbreak he’s been so deft at embodying. And yet when she does, going to him about a relationship that seems increasingly dangerous, he doesn’t believe what she’s saying about someone he’s known for most of his life. When Lorraine figures out how her son has been treating Marianne and berates him during a car ride, it’s with the defeated fury of someone realizing there is only so much she can do to shape the man her son is turning out to be and the rest will be left to him. Instead of helping her get away, he delivers her back to the man she’s afraid of, insisting she’s unstable and needs treatment. Alone in the car with him, she tentatively broaches the topic, and he goes on the offensive, hissing, “I’m better off going back to fucking Australia.” He sees her love for him, or for the person she wants him to be, as leverage, betting that the threat of him leaving again will be enough to keep her in willful denial. It’s seemingly impossible not to long for the 27-year-old Irish actor, though as a very contemporary object of desire — which is to say that the women he shares the screen with yearn for his character to do better as much as they yearn for him. We see Brian through Aileen’s eyes, and he seems to light up the room and to bring warmth back into her existence, even if not everyone is as happy about his return. He’s easily described as a nice kid, as assessment that has more to do with an absence of clearly bad behavior than any active qualities on his part. He’s popular at school and with girls and is good at sports, and while he hasn’t grown up with money, he has a close relationship with his mother, Lorraine. What sets him apart aren’t his looks so much as the heady combination of those looks with a hint of sensitivity that the men he plays can’t be counted on to actually behave.

What Paul Mescal Said in Irish at the BAFTAs (Newsweek)

Irish speakers told Newsweek that it was "so cool" to see actor Mescal speaking Irish, and it gave them "hope" for the future of the language.

The set went silent, and screens quickly changed to a TG4 title card. "So those kinds of middle-class ideas did push the representation of the Irish language down, but it's changed a lot now... What is even more impressive is that Mescal was able to talk with Aoidh. But a recent concerted effort to revive the language, including the founding of TG4 in 1996 and an increase in films being made in Irish, is starting to shift that perception. He's such an influential figure for young people, so I hope this is a great push for the language. Griffin added: "I was really excited to see that Paul was speaking in Irish at the BAFTAs. "Having Hollywood stars like Paul Mescal and Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) speaking Irish is a fantastic way of keeping our native language alive and thriving. and that led to an increasingly negative attitude towards the Irish. The actor said it was great to be at the BAFTAs and that Irish-language films had been nominated (An Cailín Ciúin [The Quiet Girl]). This was long before he became an internationally acclaimed actor, showing his longstanding interest in the language. It's seen that Irish is a good thing to have now and is a cool thing to have and opens a lot of doors." "Learning Irish didn't help people when they went abroad...
