Paul Mescal Finally Addressed Those TikTok Date-Dash Rumors
And what his mom had to say about it.
In a new interview with GQ, Paul Mescal breaks his silence on TikTok‘s dating accusations.
“Ohhhhhhh fucking hell!” he told the interviewer when asked about the TikTok trend that accused him of ditching partners in the park after spending the evening. According to Mescal, he and his family found the trend to be hilarious. “We were looking at the videos and we were pissing ourselves at it. Categorically untrue. And we were laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing,” he said.
However, his mother was not impressed with the commentary. “And the one thing that upset me was that I was in the kitchen, I remember my mum looking at the videos and she was getting upset. Isn’t that devastating? I was like, ‘Oh, it’s funny to us – my brother, me, my sister – because we know that this is the way the internet works,’” he told her.
He continued: “It’s hilarious. If it was true, it’d be fucking bad, but as a rumour, it’s funny. Then I was like, Oh, if you’re a mother, her impulse is to come out and be like, ‘He wouldn’t do this.’”
Poking fun at the hysterical trend, Mescal walks past a bookshelf pointing to a set titled London’s Hidden Walks. “Three volumes,” he said before adding in: “I should take these for my running-away dates.”
