Paul Mescal shared some memorable words of wisdom from Ridley Scott about working on Gladiator II.
In an interview, Paul talked about how Ridley told him to “be confident” and “trust your instincts,” which really stuck with him. The advice was simple yet powerful, helping Paul feel more at ease while filming. Sometimes, directors give tips that are not just about acting but also about believing in yourself.
I think it’s important for everyone to hear such encouraging words now and then.
Interestingly, while chatting about the movie, Paul also mentioned how different it feels to work on a big set compared to smaller projects. It’s like stepping into a whole new world where everything is larger than life. But even in such grand settings, Ridley’s advice made him feel grounded and ready to take on challenges.
