NormalPeople star Paul Mescal jokes about playing James Bond during Variety's Virtual TV Fest
He was participating in a play workshop in London when he missed a call from his agent. “I was like, ‘Oh God, Christ Almighty,’ he recalled during theVirtual TV Fest. “I ran outside onto the street. I had about five minutes, took the call, started screaming, rang my parents started screaming, went back into a room with the actors that I were working with. It was like a week long workshop so they were like relative strangers — and I was like shaking.
“I was on my own in my bedroom and I was messaging and my friend, who’s an actress who helped me rehearse my lines, was like, ‘Have you heard anything?’ and I was like, ‘No, I don’t think I’m going to get it,'” she said. “And then I literally got a call from my agent and I just sort of sat in stunned silence. No one was in the house, so I rang my mum and dad. We didn’t say words. And then my flatmate came home who worked at Waterstone’s, the bookstore, at the time.
Before the audition, Edgar-Jones called her mom to get her thoughts on how much nudity would be required if she got the part. Her mother gave her the go-ahead when Edgar-Jones told her that Oscar-winning director Lenny Abrahamson was spearheading the project. “She was like, ‘It’s grand.’ I knew I had my mom’s approval, which is always like the main thing,” Edgar-Jones said.
While a second season hasn’t been announced , Abrahamson joked that it would probably happen years down the line after Mescal and Edgar-Jones won some Oscars.“I don’t even know what the correct answer to that is,” Mescal said. “It’s something that it doesn’t seem like a real thing.”Mescal cracked, “Yes. The answer is yes, I would like to be that person.”
