On Thursday the 7th of November, Trinity students were delayed going to their classes as actor Paul Mescal, swung by their campus with his Hollywood “I don’t give a shit” attitude. He didn’t get that from Dublin!
Students were constantly delayed getting to class throuhgout the day as Mescal would stop the students and ask them if he looked well.
When Mescal was asked about his visit and the subsequent delays he was causing, he replied with “I’m sick of it. Nobody ever asks me if I look well. Just becuase I didn’t ask her to the debs is it? Marianne doesn’t have to worry about that sort of thing.”
Th interviewer asked Mescal if he meant his costar Daisy Edgar-Jones but Mescal insisted he was referring to Marianne. “Paul, you realise you’re not in the Normal People universe don’t you?” the interviewer asked.
“I’m always in the Normal People univserse. Always,” he replied while stroking his mullet. At this stage the interview had to conclude as Mescal began mumbling incoherently about how “God made her for me.”
We’re still not sure who he was referring to.
