Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott admit they weren’t keen on their families watching their steamy love scenes in coming out movie All Of Us Strangers
Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott have admitted they weren’t too keen on their family members watching their new film All Of Us Strangers.
The movie stars Andrew, 47, as a screenwriter drawn back to his childhood home who enters into a relationship with a mysterious neighbor, played by Paul, 27.
The film features several intimate scenes between the actors which the pair discussed during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
Asked if their families had seen the flick yet, Paul said: ‘With the Irish premiere, trying to allocate tickets to all the aunties and uncles is a tricky business. They have seen my bum before but there is a little more going on in this movie I would say!’
Andrew added: ‘I don’t want to be there when my parents watch it!’

All Of Us Strangers dominated the competition at the British Independent Film Awards, earning a staggering seven gongs in total.

All Of Us Strangers also scored Best Director and Best Screenplay for Andrew Haigh, who is known for his work on films Weekend and 45 Years.
Paul shared the Best Supporting Performance gong for his role in the film with Shaun Thomas from How To Have Sex.
Elsewhere during the interview, Paul discussed his role in the upcoming blockbuster Gladiator 2.
He said: ‘I finished filming yesterday and survived. It’s done. I am not allowed to say anything, but it will be out at thanksgiving this year.’
Andrew, talking about recently playing eight different roles in the one-man version of Vanya, added: ‘It’s good because if you mess up there is no one to upset and Chekov is dead, but it was really weird, you miss the other actors, and it’s lonely.’
Also on the show were Vera star Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Peaky Blinders’ Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Da’Vine, talking about her role in Alexander Payne’s new comedy The Holdovers, said: ‘I’m from Philadelphia and have spent a lot of time in New York so I had to have a dialect coach.
‘I had to work on it to find not only a Boston accent, but one of the 60s and 70s, and then that of an African American. It was hard so I listened to a lot of interviews, in particular those of Donna Summer.’
Asked about the upcoming series of Only Murders in the Building, and working with Meryl Streep, she said: ‘When I found out she was going to be in it I begged and was like, ‘Please god I want just one scene with her,’ and it happened. I get to arrest her! She is so amazing.’
Kingsley spoke about taking the lead in new biopic Bob Marley: One Love where he plays the legendary reggae singer.

He said: ‘The plan was always for it to be his voice, but I took singing lessons so I could understand him and what it is like to sing. By the time we got to the acoustic sessions parts of the songs are me and I wasn’t butchering them terribly!’
Talking more about the film, he added: ‘I didn’t know much about his story, so I talked to a lot of his friends and family. He was such an icon and a hero, but I wanted to find out who he was as a man and as a father. On the first day of filming all those people were behind the camera. I was so scared.’
Revealing that he prepped for the role while on the set of Barbie, Kingsley said: ‘I had just eight weeks to prepare so I bought a guitar and did loads of research. I set up my ‘Bob station’ just behind where Ryan Gosling yells out ‘Sublime.’
