For Paul Mescal, 'Normal People's' steamy sex scenes were 'a total baptism by fire'
This is a total baptism by fire. Essentially, the first Friday of the first week of me ever being on set was a full day of sex scenes. The night before, I don’t think I got much sleep and I thought I was gonna die. But then, ultimately, you arrive to set and there’s just a very clear structure put in place.
And I think the first day probably took a little bit more time because we were figuring out how the process worked and where we all fit in in the bigger picture of it all. Once you do it, it’s not as bad as you think in your head. And it’s a hugely important part of the show. It’s a moment in which you develop a huge amount of trust with your scene partner, and then, after that, you develop a kind of shorthand.
