This week on Hot Ones: Paul Mescal

It's a new week, which means it's almost time for another episode of the hit YouTube exclusive series Hot Ones. Each of the show's celebrity guest appearances usually coincides with the release of a new project, which is the case with this week's actor, preparing for the release of their latest major movie.

This week's guest is Paul Mescal, probably best known to most viewers for his role in 2020's Normal People. He stars in 2024's Gladiator II film alongside Pedro Pascal and Joseph Quinn.

Mescal has been nominated for and won multiple awards for his acting in plays, movies, and television. This includes an Academy Award (nominated), an Emmy Award (nominated), a handful of BAFTA Awards (multiple wins), Critics' Choice awards, and more. The actor has also appeared in several music videos.

For anyone new to Hot Ones, you're in for a real treat if you manage to catch this episode or the many others available on the channel. Host Sean Evans asks his guests a series of interview questions as they sit across from one another and eat hot wings. There's a slight twist, though. With each round, the questions get harder. But the wings aslo get hotter. Whether or not the guest can make it to the final question really depends on whether or not they can continue eating increasingly spicy hot sauce.

All kinds of celebrities from actors to musicians to professional athletes and more have taken on the challenge. There's only one way to find out whether or not this next guest will have what it takes to make it to the end successfully.

To see how Paul Mescal fares in this bound to be spicy interview, tune into the First We Feast YouTube channel this Thursday at 11 a.m. for the newest Hot Ones episode.
