Paul Mescal fans are shook over his American accent in ‘Foe’

nypost.com:

uploaded to the official account of Amazon’s Prime Video in an effort to promote the studio’s film “Foe,” which stars Mescal, 27, as Junior and and Saoirse Ronan, 29, as Hen. “Do me a favor,” Junior says in the clip. “Stop wearing that shirt.” “Why?” questions Hen. “I like this shirt.” “You were wearing it the day we met,” Junior says. “The more you wear it, the more worn out it’ll get.”The two then stare at each other during a protracted silence with a small smile appearing at the edge of Junior’s mouth. “So what else do you remember about that day?” asks Hen, breaking the silence. “We were happy,” states Junior as the clip ends.

The 33-second video left several viewers aghast. “PAUL MESCAL WITH AN AMERICAN ACCENT? WITH SAIROSE RONAN?!” one fan screeched in the video’s comment section. “The American accent is making my brain do backflips,” said a second fan. “He sounds like a completely different person in an American accent,” a third fan gushed.

Some fans, however, were convinced the “Aftersun” actor was dubbed. “You cannot convince me that’s Paul Mescal’s voice it literally looks like a voiceover,” one person stated. “Idk who that voice belongs to but it isn’t Paul Mescal,” a second user said.

The film tells the story of Hen and her husband, Junior, as they navigate life after a stranger appears and informs the couple that Junior must go to a mysterious space station and will be replaced by a biomechanical replica of himself.“We were happy.” #FOE is now streaming.
