Saoirse Ronan Claps Back at Paul Mescal: It's All Fun and Games, Right?
So, remember that awkward moment at the Oscars when Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal seemed to be throwing shade at each other? It was kind of a big deal, and everyone had opinions. Turns out, it was all in good fun!
The whole thing started with a cheeky comment from Paul Mescal at the BAFTAs, where he joked about Saoirse being "the only person in this room who hasn't worked with me." You know, because they haven't done a movie together yet.
Well, at the Oscars, Ronan decided to play along. When she presented the award for Best Actor, she had a little joke of her own. "I'm so honored to be here, and I just want to say that I can't wait to finally work with Paul Mescal, who I hear is absolutely delightful, and I will be the most delightful co-star ever," she said, clearly referencing his previous comment.
Now, it seems like both of them are just having a bit of fun with the whole thing. In an interview after the Oscars, Saoirse said, "I think Paul is hilarious, and I was just playing along with his joke." She also added, "It's all in good fun, you know? We're both actors, and we're both good sports."
So, relax everyone! It was just a little bit of playful banter between two talented actors who clearly respect each other. It's nice to know that some of the drama we see in Hollywood isn't always real!
