She said his notoriety is “a lot” to take it but added: “he’s doing pretty good”. “To know him is to love him and he is an adorable young man and so talented.” Paul Mescal has said he’s “very excited” to attend the Oscar’s next month.
The Kildare native looked effortlessly cool in a full Simone Rocha look, while walking the red carpet.
Her dress featured a rounded high neckline that flowed out in tiered ruffles at the skirt. Having stunned in a number of fashion shoots – not least the one that saw him don thigh-high leather boots – Mescal is no stranger to embracing boundary-pushing fashion. The look comprised of a longline leather coat with 70's style lapels, worn over a crisp white shirt, black tie and slightly cropped black trousers.
Kehlani and Bad Bunny have also recently shared about physical interactions with fans.
“It makes me upset when people push the boundary, and I wish people were more respectful,” Brown [said](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5KfU8bKtSI).

These stars are not the first to have negative interactions with fans. “this s–t made me sick to my stomach, as a victim of sexual assault, i am endlessly triggered and mindblown,” she

Paul Mescal has opened up about a “creepy” encounter with a fan that left him furious and “uncomfortable.”
“Mum and dad, like (there was) this stuff going on at home that is difficult and this has given my family a very welcome respite. “I always knew that I was willing to work hard. I realised, like, this can consume me and I can be pissed off with every person who has a naked picture of me stashed somewhere or I can just let it go.

The Oscar nominated actor was left angry after the 'creepy' encounter.
“I’m hoping that the Oscars afterparties are going to be fun," he said. "I get itchy when I’m not working. But I don’t think that’s a wise thing to do. But giving strangers an answer about my life doesn’t actually help me. That’s a difficult thing to achieve. "I thought it was an accident, so I like [moved away]. Or this is what’s going on.’ I remember tensing up and feeling just, like, fury." This is what’s going on. Take your hand off my ass'." But just not now. It’s just difficult territory.

Asked whether she'd given Ireland's fastest-rising star any advice on how to handle his newfound celebrity she said, "He's doing pretty good. No better man for the job. He's very grounded. His fellow castmate, acting royal Emily Watson, was happy to talk about his stellar rise to the top, however, saying of the young actor "to know him is to love him". "Excited," he shouted over his shoulder, as agents shuffled him away from journalists who tried to ask him about his feelings ahead of the biggest night in film. The Maynooth man was happy to sign autographs and take selfies with fans who had shown up for the gala screening of his film— though he had few words for the journalists in attendance.

In fact, so many collections included the white tank, the New York Times hailed a "The white vest is a cinematic icon, a timeless symbol of seductive allure," Cobb told CNN over email. Even off-camera, Mescal embodies a softness not afforded to previous generations of men.

They get knocked down. But they get up again. You're never, and I mean never, gonna keep those Workmen down.If there's anything guaranteed to work wonders ...
But those of us who hold a special place in our hearts for the divisive quayside spot will no doubt be smugly patting ourselves on the back today, knowing that while we're too old ourselves to head to Workman's anymore, at least it's still as cool as we remember it was. However, more say he headed to Workman's for a celebratory boogey on the infamous black-and-white tiles. It's fairly undeniable that the Irish-speaking, mullet-wielding Oscar nom is the man of every hour - in the eyes of his fellow countrymen and countless adoring fans further afield, he can do no wrong.

The one time I was asked to pose by a snap-happy fan, I felt strangely disorientated, says the Guardian columnist Tim Dowling.
Imagine this happening to you dozens of times a day – people getting in close, stealing your soul and skipping away – and you can see what a recipe for trouble the whole ritual presents. I realise this doesn’t technically count as a selfie – for it to qualify, the baby would have had to take the picture – and I can’t claim to have been bruised by it; I was far too flattered. In the week between Christmas and New Year, I was recognised and approached by a stranger in the middle of a square in Morocco. For the selfie snapper, it’s not even a record of an encounter – it is the encounter. When they first became possible – ie, when they first put a lens on the same side of your phone as the screen – they were all about the narcissism of the taker, and they largely still are. Chris Pratt has said that a selfie is “not about enjoying the moment; it’s about stealing the moment to brag about it later”.
