Speaking to RTÉ, Mescal expressed his admiration for the fans, saying he was “always blown away by Irish fans who come and stand and wait to meet us.”
Mescal showed his delight to be back in his home country and said: “I’m fundamentally proud to be Irish, so to feel this when you come home is very difficult to put into words.”
Acknowledging the current crop of Irish stars, he said “whatever is in the water at the moment for Irish actors, it must be coming within these borders,” adding that he would love to work on a film with other talents from the island, including Cillian Murphy and Saoirse Ronan.
Mescal also praised the director: “The fact I’ve had the opportunity to work with Ridley Scott on one of his best films, is very difficult to put into words.”
