Paul Mescal says filming love scenes with Andrew Scott is “all I can think about”
To play love is such a great privilege, I think. And to do it with Andrew Scott, who’s the king of playing love. It’s just innate in his being both as an actor and as a human.
Going into scenes with him is one of the greatest honors of my career to date……Films like this are an indication of a distance that we’ve traveled, but ultimately there’s quite a ways to go.
All I can talk about is my experience with filming those scenes. Andrew Scott’s character, Adam, who is in his mid-40s, has a difficult relationship to sex.
My character serves as a safe landing space for him to re-explore his sexuality. I think sex in film, when it can be healing and sexy at the same time, that’s when it’s at its best.Mescal says they “didn’t need a chemistry read” for the film, which has our hearts and minds racing..
