Paul Mescal Gets Emotional Over Birthday Gift from Jonathan Pryce at 'Hamnet' Q&A
Paul Mescal is spending his 30th birthday promoting his Oscar-nominated film Hamnet.
The actor attended a Q&A on Tuesday (February 2) with Jonathan Pryce at Picturehouse Central in London, England.
There was a very sweet moment during the panel when Jonathan gifted Paul his copy of Hamlet from Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He said he used it at RADA and for his initial rehearsals when he played Hamlet in 1980 at the Royal Court Theatre, a performance that won him an Olivier Award.
The pair shared an emotional moment afterward as Paul hugged him and shared his appreciation for his job and getting opportunities like this one.
The movie is up for eight Oscars at the upcoming Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, Best Actress for Jessie Buckley, and Best Director for Chloe Zhao.
