Paul Mescal Is Afraid of Becoming Famous for Starring in 'Gladiator 2'

Paul Mescal said he'll 'get profoundly depressed' if he becomes one of the most famous actors in the world for starring in 'Gladiator 2'

With Ridley Scott returning as the director and Denzel Washington joining the cast, Gladiator 2 is one of the high profile films of the year, scheduled to premiere November 22. His fame began to rise with his starring role in the 2020 Hulu miniseries Normal People, which earned him a British Academy Television Award for Best Actor.
