Paul's not going to let anyone forget where he comes from!
Paul Mescal had a hilariously straight-up answer when he was asked about what it was like meeting King Charles.
During the LA premiere of Gladiator II, a journalist for Variety asked the actor: “What was it like meeting the King? Have you met him before… how wild was that?”
Paul very diplomatically replied: “Never met the King. How wild is it? It’s definitely not something that I thought was in the bingo cards. I’m Irish so it’s not on the list of priorities.”

“I’m Irish, so it’s not on the list of priorities. But it’s an amazing thing for Ridley [Scott] because I know how important that is for him.”

But he acknowledged what a moment it was the movie’s director, who’s from the UK:
“But it’s an amazing thing for Ridley [Scott], as I know how important that is for him, so to see his film celebrated in that context was pretty special.”
When asked what he said to King Charles, he responded: “You just kind of nod along. I found it hard to hear exactly what was [being said]… you’re just kind of nodding along and smiling.”
You’re going to have to do a lot more than wheel out the Royal Family to impress our Paul!
