Our collective love for Paul Mescal has been building since that gold chain in Normal People. His charming dad dance in Aftersun and explosive chemistry with Andrew Scott in All Of Us Strangers only further cemented his position as a certified internet boyfriend. So it’s a big deal that the Irish star is coming to Sydney to launch his latest movie, Gladiator II.

Mescal – who plays Lucius Verus in the upcoming Ridley Scott blockbuster – is set to walk the red carpet at the film’s premiere on October 30 at Darling Harbour’s ICC Sydney Theatre.

Mescal will be joined by co-stars Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus) and Connie Nielsen, who is reprising her role as Lucilla from the original Gladiator.
