Paul Mescal's drama teacher has revealed the one (very blunt) piece of advice he gave the Normal People star when he was just starting out.
His rise to stardom was out of this world and once people got a taste of Paul-mania, there was no looking back for the Maynooth native.
Was it fate, raw talent, looks or all three mashed together that catapulted the rising star to the top of Hollywood’s hot list?Loughlin Deegan is the director of the programme that trained Paul ‘He wanted to respond and rise to that challenge. I would’ve been doing tutorials with him through second year and third year and enjoyed the way he wanted big notes.
‘He did that very, very successfully and had a very successful third year as a result. He showcased himself very well and was cast almost immediately Gatsby in the production of the Great Gatsby at The Gate theatre.Paul is now on his way to the Oscars following a best actor nomination to him as a very talented, young actor emerging at that point.’
‘Quite frankly, the other element that a young actor needs is luck and a break. It just so happened that Sally Rooney had written a book called Normal People and Lenny Abrahamson was making a TV drama out of it.
