Mescal described working with a trainer who pushed him hard, stating, 'He went to town, and I saw him every day. It was fun.' Despite the rigorous training, he maintained a lifestyle that included smoking and drinking, illustrating his approach to balance in preparing for his role.
On how he landed the part of Lucius, Mescal shared, 'I thought there would be camera tests and auditions, but we Zoomed for half an hour, spoke for 10 mins about the part, and then 20 minutes about Gaelic football, his dog and his wife.' He reflected on how director Ridley Scott trusts his instincts.
Reflecting on his experience working with Denzel Washington, Mescal stated, 'It was a big day in my life - it was amazing. I spent the first day thinking, 'I must go introduce myself,' but was overwhelmed by his presence.
