Paul Mescal Plans to Disappear From Public View Until Beatles Biopic

After several years of almost constant work and burgeoning movie stardom, Paul Mescal revealed he’s ready to step out of the spotlight until 2028 when Sam Mendes‘ four-part Beatles biopic arrives.

In a new interview with The Guardian conducted alongside his History of Sound co-star Josh O’Connor, Mescal spoke about “rationing” himself and his workload, especially after he finishes his awards season campaign for Hamnet.

“once I’ve finished promoting that, I hope nobody gets to see me until 2028 when I’m doing the Beatles,” Mescal quipped. “Peopel will get a break from me, and I’ll get a break from them.”

In just a few short years, Mescal has become one of the busiest and most scrutinized actors in the world. As his breakthrough in the 2020 series Normal People, he’s led indie darlings like Aftersun and All of Us Strangers.
