She spoke about being impressed with Mescal’s performance in Normal People, and how she empathised with his sudden launch into stardom that meant his life was never the same again.
“I loved Normal People so much, and then I saw these paparazzi pictures of the actor going to the store in his shorts. And I really felt like, ‘This poor guy!’ This great actor who did this amazing thing and now he’s getting followed by photographers.”

The Stranger Things star spoke about her feelings on acting and how she's not a fan of actors bagging big roles and having their privacy compromised in return.
“I don’t subscribe to the theory that acting means signing up to be this public person, I don’t think they’re the same thing. It doesn’t feel right to me.
Someone who’d know well about the pressures of fame is Winona Ryder herself, who skyrocketed to fame in the 90s following performances in the likes of Edward Scissorhands and Girl Interrupted.
She famously took a step back from acting in the 2000s when she was arrested for shoplifting and became the victim of huge media scrutiny.
Many saw Ryder's performance in Stranger Things as Joyce Byers as her comeback into the spotlight, and things seem to be going well for her again!
Winona Ryder is currently starring in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to the 1988 film she starred in as a teenager alongside Catherine O’Hara.
