Paul Mescal doesn't hold back on debate around straight actors playing gay roles
Briefly

The issue is that there have been so many queer performances in cinema that have been offensive, but that's because the filmmakers and the actors have been careless. I don't think this film exists in that conversation whatsoever, and that's it.
I don't love the idea of being cast for something purely for my own sexuality - you're not just playing 'gay', you're playing the attributes of the character. I don't want a totalitarian regime - we have to look at each individual story we're telling and what's right for that.
