Happy: Paul Mescal

Paul Mescal has portrayed a gay man in the 2023 romance drama ‘All of Us Strangers’, and is happy to play queer characters - so long as the characteristation of them isn’t “offensive”.

Speaking on the matter, the ‘Gladiator II’ star said: “It depends who’s in charge of telling the story. “The issue is that there have been so many queer performances in cinema that have been offensive, but that’s because the filmmakers and the actors have been careless. I don’t think this film exists in that conversation whatsoever. And that’s it.”
