Paul Mescal calls out creepy fan who touched his derriere #IndiaNEWS #Entertainment
Los Angeles, Feb 24 (IANS) Actor Paul Mescal has blasted a creepy fan for groping his bottom when he agreed to take a picture with her and said he confronted her over her actions.
The Aftersun actor has found most encounters with his admirers to be really nice but there have also been occasions where hes been left feeling uncomfortable, such as a recent experience when a woman asked for his photo outside the Almeida Theatre in London, where the 27-year-old star has been starring in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
He recalled to ES magazine: As we posed for it, she put her hand on my a**.
I thought it was an accident, so I like (moved away) but the hand followed. I remember tensing up and feeling just, like, fury.
I turned to her and said, Whatre you doing? Take your hand off my a**.
The last thing I want to do is call somebody out in front of the theatre its uncomfortable for everyone involved but it was really not okay. It was so gross, creepy.
97 per cent of (fame) is really nice then three per cent is somebody, like, grabbing your a**.
Mescal became a household name when he starred as Connell in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooneys novel Normal People in 2020 and he admitted he found the attention a bit affronting and was uncomfortable being seen as a heartthrob.
He said: Like I had this woman who said she had a naked picture of me, a screenshot from the show, as the wallpaper on her phone. And it was mad to me like, she wasnt doing it to be incendiary, I think she was genuinely trying to tell me she was a big fan but it just felt very weird. I didnt like it.
When Normal People came out, the attention was a bit affronting. It was like, This is f****** crazy. Now Im a bit more comfortable with it.
I realised, like, this can consume me and I can be p***** off with every person who has a naked picture of me stashed somewhere or I can just let it go. Its the internet. The internet is this evil f****** entity and it has so much power but its an exhausting hill to try and die on because youre not going to win.
But Mescal insisted getting attention for his looks wont impact on the work choices he makes.
He said: Ultimately, I dont want it to affect the choices I make. Nudity and sexuality in art and film and theatre are beautiful and important.
Its important that we dont let the aftermath the people (on the internet) whore predatory and f***** up impact the choices that we make creatively. I insist with myself that thats never going to happen.
