Overview

• Andrew Scott started the 'Tortured Man Club' group chat to connect Joe Alwyn and Paul Mescal for their roles in Sally Rooney adaptations.
• The group chat name was inspired by their 'tortured' characters, not their personal lives.
• Scott did not confirm if the chat inspired the title of Taylor Swift's new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
• Scott praised Swift's album, calling it 'sensational' and highlighting 'The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived' as his favorite track.
• The group chat was short-lived, with only a few messages exchanged before it fizzled out.
