Paul Mescal and Ridley Scott had argument because ‘Gladiator 2’ director wouldn’t let him do stunt
Paul Mescal has revealed that he had an argument with Ridley Scott on the set of Gladiator II because the director wouldn’t let him perform his own stunt.The actor stars as Lucius in the new film, which is released in UK cinemas on Friday (November 15), alongside Pedro Pascal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Derek Jacobi and Joseph Quinn.The Normal People and All Of Us Strangers star was eager to perform as many of his own stunts as he could, and in the case of one particular scene, that resulted in him having a moment of confrontation with his director.Towards the end of the film, Lucius mounts a horse in pursuit of Washington’s Macrinus, and as Mescal recently told Variety, Scott tried to stop him from climbing onto the horse himself.“Two weeks before the scene, Ridley says, ‘You’re not fucking doing it,’ and I was like, ‘What the fuck?,’ and we had this argument,” Mescal said.Scott was in fact acting on advice he had picked up from his 1977 debut film The Duellists, when he allowed leading man Keith Carradine to ride a horse on set on the final day of shooting. The actor broke his leg and cost the production a fortune in insurance payouts.“I was pestering him constantly,” Mescal added.

Paul Mescal lookalike contest takes place in Dublin just moments before ‘Gladiator II’ premiere
Paul Mescal lookalike competition took place in Dublin today (November 7), with seven men competing for a modest prize.The contestants – one of which didn’t intend to join the event, but was just on his way to work – descended on Smithfield Square while sporting similar haircuts to the actor and wearing unseasonably short shorts.The contest took place on the cobblestones outside the Lighthouse cinema, where Mescal himself, just hours later, appeared for the Irish premiere of Gladiator II. The competition promised the winner the choice of a €20 cheque or three pints of beer.25-year-old Jack Wall O’Reilly was voted as the best Mescal lookalike, and he was thoroughly chuffed with his reward.“I’m working at the moment so 20 quid or a few pints would go a long way to get through the day,” he told Metro.In addition to Mescal’s trademark hairstyle and short shorts, O’Reilly also mimicked the Normal People star with some mid-length white socks and trainers, along with a devil-may-care washed-out hoodie.A post shared by IndieWire (@indiewire)The contest comes just a couple of weeks after Timothée Chalamet surprised fans by crashing his own lookalike competition in New York City.As noted by Variety on Instagram, the actor sneaked into the middle of the group of assembled Chalamet lookalikes, before eventually revealing his identity.According to FM104, nearly 900 people had responded to the invite to the competition, with several uploading photographs of their own supposed likeness to the 28-year-old actor.
