Overview
- In a new joint interview, Mescal said he will start rationing his workload to avoid resenting acting.

- He said he misses live performance and may devote a period to theatre, with a National Theatre debut slated for 2027.
- He is currently promoting Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, opening in the UK and Ireland on 9 January, and The History of Sound, due in UK cinemas on 23 January.
- He hopes to keep a low profile until 2028, when he is set to promote Sam Mendes’s Beatles films, in which he portrays a young Paul McCartney.
