Paul Mescal said in an interview with Esquire UK (conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike) that he did not get in contact with Russell Crowe regarding Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2.&#8221…

“They should be fucking paying me for the amount of questions I am asked about a film I am not even in,” Crowe said. “It has nothing to do with me. In that world, I am dead. Six feet under. But I do admit to a certain tinge of jealousy, because it reminds me of when I was younger and what it meant for me, in my life.”

He continued, “I don’t know anything about the cast, I don’t know anything about the plot. I am dead! But I know that if Ridley has decided to do a second part of the story, over 20 years later, he must have had very strong reasons. I can’t think of this movie being anything other than spectacular.” Starring opposite Mescal in “Gladiator 2” are Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen, Derek Jacobi, Djimon Hounsou, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger and Pedro Pascal. The latter actor made Mescal quite nervous on their first day of filming together.

“I was too afraid to go up to him,” Mescal said of Pescal. “He came up and just seemed so genuine; I’m really looking forward to hanging out with him.”
