Maybe Paul Mescal had no chance of winning the Best Male Performance Oscar – odds were good Austin Butler there Brendan Fraserand in fact, the statuette ended up going to the latter – but awards season made him one of Hollywood’s sexiest guys. Although it could give a lot to say in the years to come.
After her commented performance in After Sun, Mescal is on everyone’s lips. Whether due to his talent or his rise on the Internet, the Irishman was one of the most anticipated faces on the famous champagne carpet of the 95th edition of these Oscars. And her outfit satisfied fans on both sides.
Dressed in a Gucci two-piece, which the brand itself clarifies as “tailor-made”, Paul eclipsed much of those in attendance, as he did at the gala – his nerves with Angela Bassette, seat neighbor, did not go unnoticed.

Aaron Taylor Johnson would have already met Barbara Broccoliwho has the last word on secret agent productions, and it has everything they are looking for for their new release.
After what Daniel Craig interpreted the character in the most successful way, the new saga that is planned wants to have a younger and inexperienced 007, something that perfectly matches the characteristics of the actor of Kick ass… And with those of Paul Mescal.
They only break a tie on something: Taylor-Johnson is British —an important requirement—, while the Oscar nominee is Irish. Although it is also true that Pierce BrosnanMescal’s compatriot, also played the character in four films.
