Paul Mescal's "Puppy Interview."Shannon Soule / BuzzFeed
Paul Mescal (sort of) got a break from his recent media blitz ahead of the release of his new film "Gladiator II" when he sat down with Buzzfeed Celeb for its "Puppy Interview" series.
Mescal was all smiles as some pretty pooches - who are all up for adoption at WagsAndWalks.org - pounced around him as he answered a lineup of questions.
At one point in the interview, Co Kildare native Mescal was asked which of his co-stars he would like to work with on another project, and what genre that project would be.
Mescal replied: "Me, Josh [O'Connor], Daisy [Edgar-Jones], Andrew [Scott]."
Mescal worked with O'Connor on "The History of Sound," Edgar-Jones on the smash hit series "Normal People," and Scott on "All of Us Strangers."
He continued: "If we all went into like an Irish comedy sitcom for like - shot it for three months, had a great time."

Later in the Puppy Interview, Mescal spoke about his fellow Irish actor Andrew Scott - the two have become great pals since co-starring in the critically acclaimed "All of Us Strangers."
Mescal was asked if while filming "All of Us Strangers" - which features plenty of "emotional, intense" scenes - did the two co-stars ever make each other laugh?
"Andrew's like the king of breaking people's hearts," Mescal said, with a puppy in his lap.
"He does it with such levity. That film wasn't as heartbreaking to make on a daily basis as it probably is to an audience to watch."

When asked what book everybody should read at least once, Mescal acknowledged his answer was "too on brand."
"I distinctly remember reading 'Normal People' [by Irish author Sally Rooney] and it's the kind of book that you haven't read it and you're in your like early 20s to early 30s, I think you'll feel very seen by it all."
