Paul Mescal Lands First Producer Credit on Gay Romance ‘History of Sound’ Co-Starring Josh O’Connor
'The History of Sound,' the upcoming gay romance starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, will mark Mescal's first producing credit.
Paul Mescal may be Hollywood’s newest blockbuster leading man thanks to Ridley Scott’s epic sequel “Gladiator II,” but the young Irish actor is already taking his first steps behind the camera. On “The History of Sound,” the LGBTQ romance drama announced back in 2021 in which he stars alongside Josh O’Connor, Variety can reveal that Mescal also serves as exec producer, marking his first production credit. “This is an unexpected love story that needs to be told — it is a journey through the life of America, across the 20th century and the traditions of American folk music, all seen through the bond between two men immersed in the history of sound,” Hermanus said at the time of the film’s announcement.
