"I've got to quit the internet. It's like too much. It's too much of yourself. There's not enough bakeries, and there's too much of me." Mescal expressed his overwhelming feeling about the prevalence of his online presence, noting that social media algorithms often amplify personal content to an uncomfortable extent. He humorously suggested that he would prefer more varied content, like bakeries, over constant reminders of himself.
"But also, you're smart enough to realize that, like, that's the gig. You get out in front of the movie, and you do your job. But there's a certain tax that comes with it." In this insight about the pressures of fame, Mescal acknowledges the reality of promoting films while recognizing the personal cost and public attention that comes with being a successful actor.
"That was so abrupt. I think it started the scale moving in the direction that just that was the new normal, which was totally abnormal." Reflecting on his role in "Normal People," Mescal discusses how sudden fame shifted his life's trajectory, noting the surreal nature of adjusting to widespread recognition and the expectations that follow.
