WATCH: Paul Mescal tests The Young Offenders on their friendship

Rudi Kinsella

Paul Mescal Young Offenders

The collab we’ve all been waiting on.

It has been said a million times, but while 2020 has been single-handedly defeating everything in its wake, one man has stood tall.

That man is Paul Mescal.

He went from being a budding actor/underage GAA star to one of the most popular actors on the face of the planet, being adored by the biggest celebrities in the world. The past few weeks have seen him perform with Dermot Kennedy, and even pick up an Emmy nomination.

And best of all, he seems like a really sound lad.

In a new interview, we see Mescal take on two other talented men Alex Murphy and Chris Walley (also known as The Young Offenders), and see just how tight their friendship really is.

And it does not disappoint.

Their answers prove the two lads really are quite close, and the video also tells us who Alex Murphy’s childhood crush was, and what Paul Mescal did for his first job (before he was the most sought-after man on the planet).

Plus, one of the lads has a very cool hidden talent, we’re not saying who though…

Give it a watch, it’s a good laugh.
