Daisy Edgar-Jones Addresses Speculation Over Paul Mescal & Phoebe Bridgers Met Gala Pic
Paul Mescal is NOT running away from these rumors.
The Gladiator actor is no stranger to internet gossip—from the viral pic with then-girlfriend Phoebe Bridgers and Normal People costar Daisy Edgar Jones to recent speculation that the 28-year-old has a one-night-stand ritual that ends with him running away after a stroll in the park.
As for those one-night stand rumors, which surfaced on TikTok over the holidays, they gave Paul and his siblings a good laugh.
“We were looking at the videos and we were pissing ourselves at it,” he told GQ in an interview published Oct. 15. “Categorically untrue. And we were laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing. And the one thing that upset me was that I was in the kitchen, I remember my mum looking at the videos and she was getting upset. Isn’t that devastating?”
“It’s funny to us—my brother, me, my sister—because we know that this is the way the internet works. It’s hilarious. If it was true, it’d be f–king bad, but as a rumor, it’s funny,” he continued. “If you’re a mother, her impulse is to come out and be like, ‘He wouldn’t do this.’”
