Andrew Scott remembers the precise feeling he had when he first read Andrew Haigh’s screenplay for All Of Us Strangers. “I was actually really upset reading this script. It wasn’t because it made me sad, it was that it made me feel raw. I saw a huge amount of tenderness in the script and I related to it so much.”
All Of Us Strangers — which premiered at Telluride in late August, and releases via Disney’s Searchlight Pictures in the US on December 22 and in the UK in January — stars Scott as Adam, a 40-something screenwriter living an isolated experience in a London tower block. He meets a mysterious neighbour, Harry (Paul Mescal), at the matching time that he visits his childhood home in the suburbs and, suspending reality, remeets his mother and father (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell) who died in a auto accident when Adam was 11.
Haigh took the conceit of going back to meet one’s parents as an adult from the 1987 Japanese novel Strangers by Taichi Yamada, but toned down some of the book’s more traditional ghost story elements, relocated the setting to the UK and made the lead character gay, all of which made it much more personal to the filmmaker. The director of Weekend, Lean On Irish heartthrob Paul Mescal claimed Sunday that straight men should be allowed to play lgbtq+ roles depending on who is in charge of the film. “It depends [on] who’s in impose of telling the story,” Mescal, 27, told The Sunday Times. “The issue is that there possess been so many homosexual performances in cinema that have been offensive, but that’s because the filmmakers and the actors possess been careless.” “I don’t think this film exists in that conversation whatsoever. And that’s it,” Mescal said referring to his LGBTQ film “All Of Us Strangers.” The tear-jerker fantasy film, which was released last month and based on a 1987 novel called “Strangers,” tells the story of Adam (Andrew Scott), a lonely British screenwriter who has a sexual encounter with his neighbor Harry (Mescal) which sets him on the path to self-acceptance. “We are still navigating, as men, how to be vulnerable,” Mescal tells The Times as to why he chose to star in the motion picture. “Time and time again men are told vulnerability is weakness and not w Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor made Cannes Film Festival sob on Wednesday late hours with Oliver Hermanus’ “The History of Sound,” which earned a six-minute standing ovation. While Mescal received a standing ovation when walking in, O’Connor had to miss the premiere because he was finishing filming his part in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming movie and couldn’t make it. Though O’Connor wasn’t offer, Mescal carried the weight. One rowdy fan screamed, “We love you, Paul!” seconds before the production started, when the audience usually sits in reverent silence. By the termination, moviegoers were weeping and swatting at each other trying to get video of Mescal, who was also tearing up. “This has been one of the most superb creative collaborations of my very, very short career, but this has been a testament to the genius of Paul Mescal,” said director Hermanus.

The Irish actor - who became a household identify thanks to his role as 'hot' priest in Fleabag - tells Sky News: "There's a sort of crisis in masculinity I think at the moment and what it means to be a man. "We have all these things within us, there's no one way of being, there just isn't, and sometimes the people who are the most outwardly macho in some ways, are the people who aren't going to be there for you emotionally. His co-star, fellow Irishman Paul Mescal, whose breakout role in hit drama Normal People has made him one of the most in demand actors right now, adds, "and they'll be the first to break". Scott nods: "When you are able to accept all those parts of you, I ponder that leads to surpass mental health and just a sense of stability."
