Paul Mescal And Andrew Scott Talk Dublin, Simone Rocha And More | ELLE UK

[Music] um what's up there hi LK I'm Paul mascal and I'm Andrew Scott and we're going to be playing ask me [Music] anything I loved what you were wearing at the Irish Premiere like the kind of like Teddy Boys like the the T the like the two chall the jacket with the vest and the black pants oh yeah yeah very very also the the gold Golden Globes look was oh the white yeah yeah yeah I look bit like a mother of the bride I don't think so and you were in a bit of Simone Russia right it was yeah she's one of our most amazing Irish design designers yeah complaining eting no the problem is what you do on set actually is you eat eat yeah yeah that's the problem you start off and you're think healthy and health and then couple of biscuits here couple of biscuits eat more in a set there's more food available on a set and is necessary absolutely right I agree and then you're there but I don't want that to change no yeah don't change don't change it you've come out with some like like just great lines about like what is it Prejudice not surviving proximity you also say that beautiful thing about like the only thing left after love is grief I think that's a beautiful statement cuz I think the thing about Andrew is like he is wonderfully eloquent but he lives by the things that he says which I think is uh it's all well and good sounding smart but you have to live by it and he does that in Spades and i' think about Paul I think there's something that's very forthright about you that's really wonderful it's a really really good quality you think you sort of you don't you not you're not backwards and coming forwards about things you believe in but some people really are you know I think there's a real difference between somebody being nice and somebody being good you know what I mean like it's all very well to be nice which of course you are we're all capable of being nice but to be a good person sometimes you've got to be able to say no that's not right or that's to be forthright and to sort of risk um you know risk having a difficult conversation and uh I think that think Paul Paul is an essentially a really really good person and um uh yeah that's what I love about it that's nice Andrew's a innately funny man like you he's such humor I think they'd call him funny loyal and I think you're quite protective of people that you love yeah yeah yeah yeah that that's that's really true Paul is really really generous fun uh very emotionally intelligent sensitive and wild and wild yeah yeah AB yeah I think that's absolutely Fair yeah I don't really I actually don't I think I need you can't put that in practice it's hard to do that I think maybe sometimes I need to go the opposite way I'm always putting my feet in you know what I mean I think you've got to like having your feet in the ground means what means like not being being humble and yeah coming from Ireland I do think that's a cultural thing you don't I don't think I don't think that's in the culture where you have to have Notions about yourself so I think sometimes it's important to have you know be proud of the stuff that you've achieved and not be too self exactly and um but but I know what you mean to keep your Fe the ground in this crazy scenario that we're in now I think it's about the relationship it's about the relationships that you have inside and outside of work and trying to hold on to a consistency with that yeah but other than that I think it's like like if you're not from London New York La if you're not from those places it always feels like a miracle that somebody breaks into kind of mainstream media from the outside so like keeping your feet on the ground is always like look Irish people have a wonderful capacity of and also something that I don't like sometimes of keeping you that' be like I don't get to Big like I have no intention of that happening but I'm also going to celebrate the wins as much as keeping that balance yeah the guilt the guilt yeah the shame and the guilt shame and the guilt it is true when you go to or there people are friendly there and um one of the things I find difficult in the bigger cities is the kind of an anonymity like if you go into your local supermarket your Tesco whatever the hell it is you know that you you don't get to know your people you don't say hello to people in the same well just kind of anon like cuz sometimes that anonymity is like fun and enjoyable but like I think the most distinctly Irish thing about us is how easy it is for us as Irish people to like like you get a short hand Oh you mean between us yeah I think so like straight away and also like if we need to like CH chat about people that are annoying us speak we can speak we can we've got we've got a whole language that you go dirty little uh don't be a dick yeah don't be it's a good um good simple to the point piece of advice yeah oh there's a great piece of advice that someone I think it's Tony Morrison says which is When someone tells you who they are believe them I think that's oh yeah so if someone says you know I'm just a bit what was the thing you said earlier about parents uh that they're oh yeah that incredible I read that the other day which is be kind to your parents they're living life for the first time too I love that incredible yeah cuz that's what our film is so much about it's about you know our relationship with our parents and how we can't really see them for they are yeah we were in Dublin recently I so nostalgic like for the first time in a while going back to Dublin I know yeah we had this amazing um uh screening of our film and in in Dublin it was absolutely magical we were totally Gob smack so many people came out to see us and and I was amazing to bring this bring this home I think when you've traveled the world you're you become more aware of your irishness oh absolutely yeah um but in Dublin what okay what do we tell people to go to do in Dublin I'd go to Phoenix Park for in the morning beautiful yeah bring a coat bring a coat bring a rain jacket rain jacket one of the great sadnesses for me is that the burner Char is closed do you remember that Pub cuz that's ex when I think of D I know it closed closed a like big old corporations knocked it to the ground that's the thing but there are loads of pubs left in Dublin that are loads of pubs left in Dublin probably the mosts per out yeah I know absolutely are little little yeah you got you supp you do have to have a little pint Ina Guinness yeah and the great thing about Dublin is that it's very um walkable you know it's a city but you can kind of walk pretty much everywhere you know and then end up in workman's yeah then the work yeah I can do a handstand can you really yeah I don't have a party trick just just just these great at parties yeah I'm good at a party part tricks I would be um a painter an drawing yeah you're like your drawings are beautiful I think I'd probably be a teacher of some sort I loved history in school probably playing a bit of gay football I could do both by as a teacher thanks luk we'll see you soon lots of love
