Paul Mescal's Candid Take on Meeting King Charles at 'Gladiator 2' Premiere

The Irish actor expressed his indifference to meeting the monarch, highlighting the significance for director Ridley Scott instead.

Paul Mescal, star of 'Gladiator 2', met King Charles III at the film's London premiere but was notably unfazed, citing his Irish heritage as a reason for his indifference.
The meeting with the King was more significant for director Ridley Scott, as Mescal acknowledged the importance of royal recognition for the film's celebration.
Mescal humorously admitted to struggling to hear the King during their encounter, resulting in polite nodding and smiling.
Despite his nonchalance, Mescal praised the film's premiere, which supported the Film and TV Charity's centennial celebration.
Mescal is set to host Saturday Night Live next month, marking his first appearance on the show alongside musical guest Shaboozey.
