BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / (Just a bit of fun) Andrew Scott- Paul Mescal bromance!

My new, current obsession and what do we call it?
Messcott?
Scottal?!
Watching The Gladiator II red carpet footage on loop and I just cannot stop laughing at it.
These two are a real double act.

Ha ha, this has somehow passed me by!

Read and seen loads of interviews with them.
They are just really close friends and are very funny together.
But check out the Youtube footage of the red carpet at the Gladiator II premiere...
both so sweet and a total scream!

Aww, I just watched and they are lovely!

This page isn't working properly, for me...
but yes, they are a couple of darlings. x

I have not been following the press about that particular film, but I have seen some sweet photos of the two of the together.

On that note:
and I realise he is not a Sherlockian...
but poor Paul.
His whole private life, being played out in the full glare of the public.
What kind of sicko spots a celeb couple and phones the tabloid press about it?!

I think I must have missed something! But I tend to stay away from the news (as it's never good!) which means I miss out on the gossip too.

I realised afterwards of course, that I am part of the problem!
Let me explain.
I originally set up 'Google alerts', for any news stories regarding Benedict and Martin- when I first became part of the Sherlock fandom.
I later switched Martin for Andrew, as I became more interested in his career(no offence, Martin!).
I recently added Paul, as I was impressed by him in All of Us Strangers.
However, I may readdress that!
I haven't seen Gladiator II, just some of the trailers...but I confess I was left rather under impressed by what I saw of Paul.
Anyhow, point being:
obviously I am picking up on irksome news stories, more than others.

Oh, I see. I haven't used Google Alerts in that way, so I just get random stuff. I'll look once at say, something to do with park benches in Bristol and then I'll keep getting stories about park benches and Bristol.

I haven't seen Gladiator yet either. It looked like either a big screen or don't bother to me, but that's maybe a bit unfair!

Well | have since seen an interview with Andrew and he says it is a brilliant film and Paul is fantatstic in it...and maybe he knows better than me!
But of course the big news is that Andrew and Paul are both taking plays to ' just off Broadway' and they will be in New York at the same time.

I hope New York treats them well.

Clever me, actually remembered how to log in on my phone!
I haven't seen Paul's Streetcar...
but I took my daughter to see Andrew's Vanya and we both loved it.

**Posted by Liberty** April 4, 2025 10:47 am

I didn't see it. I really need to get organised to see some more stuff in London. I can get there and back in a day on the train. Expensive, though!

I was in York yesterday and managed to get to the Amnesty bookshop.
Chance I may be staying in York, for a few days in November.
To try and be on topic:
for the last 3 weeks, Andrew and Paul have been in New York at the same time...but I have seen no documented evidence of them managing to meet up.
Paul leaves this weekend: his Streetcar has received absolute rave reviews.
I mean Andrew's Vanya has done really well, but Paul has totally smashed it.

**Posted by Liberty** April 20, 2025 1:55 pm

Maybe I've unknowingly walked past you in York! Good that Paul has done well. I can imagine him playing that part.

**Posted by besleybean** April 21, 2025 7:53 am

Turns out in Nov, I will only be through to York for the day again.
Anyhow, Steeetcar:
apparently if you sat in the front row, you were showered with Paul's saliva- ha!
I have been rewatching Sherlock:
all I kept thinking was that Paul needs to see this, Andrew is totally amazing.
