Paul Mescal brings his beloved mother Dearbhla to Gladiator II's Irish premiere in Dublin in her first red carpet appearance since it was revealed her cancer is in remission


The Normal People star, 28, has been travelling the globe to promote the much-anticipated sequel, which hits cinemas on November 22.

'The love of my children, my husband, my family and dearest friends, the audience of you, the prayers of so many, the vibes sent out to the universe carried me through the hard times and lifted me when I truly felt done in. Gladiator II - which also stars Denzel Washington, Connie and Joseph Quinn - follows Lucius Verus (Mescal), the former heir to the Roman Empire who is forced into slavery and eventually pushed to fight in the Colosseum in an effort to restore glory. The newest trailer for the film saw Paul's Lucius Verus seek vengeance against Rome in a blood-soaked battle with his captor general Marcus Acacius.
