Winona Ryder Talks About Paul Mescal’s Growing Fame
In an interview with Esquire, Winona Ryder opened up about the problems Paul Mescal is facing as his fame in Hollywood continues to grow. Set to appear in ‘Gladiator 2‘ next, the actor has attained international recognition with his movies so far.
Talking about the same, Ryder opened up about the success and the recognition Mescal has gained. “I loved Normal People so much, and then I saw these paparazzi pictures of the actor going to the store in his shorts,” she said.
“And I really felt like, ‘This poor guy!’ This great actor who did this amazing thing and now he’s getting followed by photographers,” Ryder said.
Ryder’s empathy for Mescal perhaps comes from her own experience as she herself has also received unwanted attention on her nerves and needed time to cope with all of that.
