King Charles: Paul Mescal did not burn to meet him – “I am Irish, not my priority”

Paul Mescal wasn’t… burning to meet with him because he’s Irish. The protagonist of the film “Gladiator 2”, Paul Mescal, seems not affected by the recent meeting with King Charles, saying: “I am Irish, so he is not on my list of priorities.” The actor introduced himself to King Charles at the premiere of “Gladiator II” last week in London. The film’s world premiere was at the same time an event to raise resources for the Charity Film and Television Organization. In a new interview at Variety, Paul Mescall was asked about the meeting with King Charles and said I was surprised that happened. “How crazy is it? It’s definitely not something I expected,” he added. “I’m Irish, so it’s not on the list of priorities,” the actor stressed. He went on to say he was happy for film director Ridley Scott. “So seeing his film honored in this context was very special,” he explained. King Charles also met with Mescal’s co-stars, in the film “Gladiator 2” Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal.
