Paul Mescal, star of the upcoming Gladiator sequel, talked to Gabriella Paiella for GQ, and posed for the cover. Some choice quotes from the accompanying article:

The interviewer on Mescal: I have interviewed enough young actors at this point that it’s almost easier to describe Mescal by saying what he is not. He is not tormented by fame or visibly aggravated by its responsibilities. He is not trying to prove how smart he is; not on some kind of oily charm offensive. He possesses neither arrogance nor false humility. In short: a cool guy, a good hang.

Mescal on work: "I think I function better when I’m at work than when I’m between jobs... My agent refers to me openly as a psychopath when it comes to work. I feel an intense desire to have this forever... I want this to never stop. So with that comes a kind of neurosis of control."

On how much he thinks about the Roman Empire: “I studied it in school,” he says. “Thought about it when I was studying it.”

On the lower cost of education in Ireland vs the US: "How do you start your career, let’s say, $200,000 in debt, and expect to have any kind of artistic integrity with the choices that you make? What if somebody turns around and goes, ‘You can do this terribly written piece of work, but it’s going to pay off your college debt.' "

On the one night stand rumors: Those (TikTok) videos first came out around the holidays when he was with his siblings. “We were looking at the videos and we were pissing ourselves at it. 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? I was like, Oh, 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 fucking bad, but as a rumor, it’s funny. Then I was like, Oh, if you’re a mother, her impulse is to come out and be like, ‘He wouldn’t do this.’ ”
