Paul Mescal beginning to cover self with random hodgepodge of tattoos

So, so, so, so, so, (x1000 more so’s) tragic.

He was so much hotter five years ago. The Irish really hit the wall early.

Why do actors do this? Aren't they supposed to become the face and body of whoever they're playing? Why complicate your own so much?

If you're filming it's a pain for Make-up, but what about when he's in a play, which he will be next year?

🤮 vomit

He looks like he hasn't bathed in days.

Great shame, but not so bad yet as Daniel Day Lewis's, let alone the ink-hulk who is Sir David Beckham.

Beckham at least has what look like proper tattoos (or did). After Harry Styles started to look like a class of 6 year olds had attacked him with marker pens, every other idiot seemed to follow suit and now we have people covered in shitty doodles.

His handlers know how to clean him up for professional appearances. Here he is at a Gucci show last week.

Another view

He's not all that. And he isn't available to us, so who here should care?

At least we can say he's not another closeted bearding actor.

I don't get the appeal. He's indistinguishable from every guy his age working behind the bar in Dublin or Cork.

I don’t have any tattoos but it’s weird that people here flip out so much about them. Why do you care? How does it affect you?

Ehh. It's small and easily covered by makeup if need be.

I thought I was going to see something like Ben Affleck's Ed Hardy-ish back tattoo, which is 100% proof positive he's never had the homosex.

Good god the drama. What's with a little ink? I have two and I love them.

Presumably the appeal is that he can act, R11.

r10 "And he isn't available to us"

But all the other celebrities we talk about here are?

R12 Every tattoo has a story to tell. Will you tell us about yours?

I'm sure I'm going to regret putting my head above the parapet and having the wrath of the Paul Mescal troll rain down on me but... he's not hot and he never was hot.

Cant we acknowledge the guy is a very good young actor who is in the business because he wants to act, not be famous. Hes good on stage and is making waves despite not being very pretty. Why are we not respecting that exactly????

Acting on TV or in film is a visual medium, and I would much rather watch Mr Hammer, despite his alleged interest in cannibalism, than this rather generic greasy gentleman.

He’s hot

R20 Are you his agent? Jesus, listen to yourself. Put the pipe down, hun.

In the broad sense, R16.

But who wants a broad, r24?

Clicked through after all the vitriol and expected a Red Dragon fully covered back piece. Meh.

r20 Are you okay????

R3 Right?? Just stay natural, or the work will dry up!
