[Music]
um what's up
there hi LK I'm Paul mascal and I'm
Andrew Scott and we're going to be
playing ask me
[Music]
anything I loved what you were wearing
at the Irish Premiere like the kind of
like Teddy Boys like the the T the like
the two chall the jacket with the vest
and the black pants oh yeah yeah very
very also the the gold Golden Globes
look was oh the white yeah yeah yeah I
look bit like a mother of the bride I
don't think so and you were in a bit of
Simone Russia right it was yeah she's
one of our most amazing Irish design
designers yeah complaining
eting no the problem is what you do on
set actually is you eat eat yeah yeah
that's the problem you start off and
you're think healthy and health and then
couple of biscuits here couple of
biscuits eat more in a set there's more
food available on a set and is necessary
absolutely right I agree and then you're
there but I don't want that to change no
yeah don't change don't change it you've
come out with some like like just great
lines about like what is it Prejudice
not surviving proximity you also say
that beautiful thing about like the only
thing left after love is grief I think
that's a beautiful statement cuz I think
the thing about Andrew is like he is
wonderfully eloquent but he lives by the
things that he says which I think is uh
it's all well and good sounding smart
but you have to live by it and he does
that in Spades and i' think about Paul I
think there's
something that's very forthright about
you that's really wonderful it's a
really really good quality you think you
sort of you don't you not you're not
backwards and coming forwards about
things you believe in but some people
really are you know I think there's a
real difference between somebody being
nice and somebody being good you know
what I mean like it's all very well to
be nice which of course you are we're
all capable of being nice but to be a
good person sometimes you've got to be
able to say no that's not right or
that's to be forthright and to sort of
risk um you know risk having a difficult
conversation and uh I think that think
Paul Paul is an essentially a really
really good person and um uh yeah that's
what I love about it that's
nice Andrew's a innately funny man like
you he's such humor I think they'd call
him funny loyal and I think you're quite
protective of people that you love yeah
yeah yeah yeah that that's that's really
true Paul is really really generous
fun uh very emotionally intelligent
sensitive and wild and wild yeah yeah AB
yeah I think that's absolutely Fair yeah
I don't really I actually don't I think
I need you can't put that in practice
it's hard to do that I think maybe
sometimes I need to go the opposite way
I'm always putting my feet in you know
what I mean I think you've got to like
having your feet in the ground means
what means like not being being humble
and yeah coming from Ireland I do think
that's a cultural thing you don't I
don't think I don't think that's in the
culture where you have to have Notions
about yourself so I think sometimes it's
important to have you know be proud of
the stuff that you've achieved and not
be too
self exactly and um but but I know what
you mean to keep your Fe the ground in
this crazy scenario that we're in now I
think it's about the relationship it's
about the relationships that you have
inside and outside of work and trying to
hold on to a consistency with that yeah
but other than that I think it's like
like if you're not from London New York
La if you're not from those places it
always feels like a miracle that
somebody breaks into kind of mainstream
media from the outside so like keeping
your feet on the ground is always like
look Irish people have a wonderful
capacity of and also something that I
don't like sometimes of keeping you
that' be like I don't get to Big like I
have no intention of that happening but
I'm also going to celebrate the wins as
much as
keeping that balance yeah the guilt the
guilt yeah the shame and the guilt shame
and the guilt it is true when you go to
or there people are friendly there and
um one of the things I find difficult in
the bigger cities is the kind of an
anonymity like if you go into your local
supermarket your Tesco whatever the hell
it is you know that you you don't get to
know your people you don't say hello to
people in the same well just kind of
anon like cuz sometimes that anonymity
is like fun and enjoyable but like I
think the most distinctly Irish thing
about us is how easy it is for us as
Irish people to like like you get a
short hand Oh you mean between us yeah I
think so like straight away and also
like if we need to like CH chat about
people that are annoying us speak we can
speak we can we've got we've got a whole
language that you
go dirty
little uh don't be a dick yeah don't be
it's a good um good simple
to the
point piece of advice yeah oh there's a
great piece of advice that someone I
think it's Tony Morrison says which is
When someone tells you who they are
believe them I think that's oh yeah so
if someone says you know I'm just a bit
what was the thing you said earlier
about parents uh that they're oh yeah
that incredible I read that the other
day which is be kind to your parents
they're living life for the first time
too I love that incredible yeah cuz
that's what our film is so much about
it's about you know our relationship
with our parents and how we can't really
see them for they are yeah we were in
Dublin recently I so nostalgic like for
the first time in a while going back to
Dublin I know yeah we had this amazing
um uh screening of our film and in in
Dublin it was absolutely magical we were
totally Gob smack so many people came
out to see us and and I was amazing to
bring this bring this home I think when
you've traveled the world you're you
become more aware of your irishness oh
absolutely yeah um but in Dublin what
okay what do we tell people to go to do
in Dublin I'd go to Phoenix Park for in
the morning beautiful yeah bring a coat
bring a coat bring a rain jacket rain
jacket one of the great sadnesses for me
is that the burner Char is closed do you
remember that Pub cuz that's ex when I
think of D I know it closed closed a
like big old corporations knocked it to
the ground that's the thing but there
are loads of pubs left in Dublin that
are loads of pubs left in
Dublin probably the mosts per out yeah I
know absolutely are little little yeah
you got you supp you do have to have a
little pint Ina Guinness yeah and the
great thing about Dublin is that it's
very um walkable you know it's a city
but you can kind of walk pretty much
everywhere you know and then end up in
workman's yeah then the work yeah I can
do a handstand can you really yeah I
don't have a party
trick just just just these great at
parties yeah I'm good at a party part
tricks I would be um a painter an
drawing yeah you're like your drawings
