Paul Mescal candidly talked about the spicy scene with Andrew Scott in ‘All of Us Strangers’, and he admitted it actually frightened him!
Adapted from the 1987 Japanese novel ‘Strangers’, Mescal and Scott play as lovers, and in a recent interview, Mescal discussed “the most illicit moment” he had with his co-star — the one before an oral sex scene.
In an interview with Daze, Mescal said that he locked eyes with Scott before he went down on him, and he felt it was so sexually charged, that it scared him and he “couldn’t look away.”
“That’s the bit that scared me. When I saw it for the first time in the audience, I asked Andrew if he remembered me doing that,” he said.
He also added that he thinks the two of them have “this innate thing called chemistry” which is something he finds “impossible to describe.”
“I loved Andrew as an actor before we knew each other properly. And when I started to know him more, we just really liked each other. I find that it’s actually easier to play sex scenes than it is to play the tenderness after sex,” Mescal further explained. “Because you’re both inhabiting a physical language – that distinct feeling of lying on a bed and talking to somebody you love after having sex.”
