Paul Mescal has spoken candidly about his chemistry with his Normal People co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones, saying: I could not have asked for a better partner.
Speaking during an online panel discussion ahead of the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday, Paul, 25, revealed he and Daisy, 23, spent a week together before rehearsals.
The actor - who appeared alongside some of his fellow nominees for leading actor - including Small Axe s Shaun Parkes, Baghdad Central s Waleed Zuaiter and I May Destroy You s Paapa Essiedu - explained: We didn t do a huge amount of standard rehearsal. We spent about a week together prior and talked about the character and would touch on scenes.
