BBC Apologizes for Mistakingly Labeling Paul Mescal a ‘British Actor’
It’s Brexit 2.0 as the BBC received hundreds of complaints from Paul Mescal fans for incorrectly labeling the Oscar nominee as a “British actor.”
“2023 Oscar nominations: British actors Paul Mescal and Bill Nighy are nominated for leading role,” a BBC on-air report stated. Nighy is nominated for “Living,” while Mescal is recognized for “Aftersun” at the Academy Awards. However, Mescal is an Irish actor.
Per Deadline, the BBC received 605 complaints over the mistake. The U.K. broadcaster issued a statement reading, “The text should have said that Paul Mescal is Irish. We apologize for the mistake.”
Mescal previously tweeted “I’m Irish” in 2020 and taught “Late Night Show” host Stephen Colbert how to pull off the accent. Mescal marked his breakout role in the Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney’s “Normal People” set in Ireland and earned an Emmy nomination for his turn as Connell. The star plays a Scottish father in Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun.
