Taking the lead role in Ridley Scott's Gladiator II left Paul Mescal feeling like he could 'inflict real damage' after he underwent intense training sessions for the upcoming film.
Stepping into Russell Crowe's sandals for Ridley Scott was a physical challenge that left Paul Mescal stunned by how much real-life damage his training for the film could lead him to make.
As a result Paul put on 18 pounds of muscle and he was then shocked by his own body as he realised the strength he'd gained from months of training. The Kildare native shared how "weird " it really felt as it forced him to make important changes. This comes after Saoirse Ronan stunned the actor into silence during a joint appearance with Denzel Washington and Eddie Redmayne on The Graham Norton Show. One conversation left the all-male panel lost for words as the Irish actress, 30, reminded them about acts of violence against women, such as harassment in the public space, among many others.
