Hamnet

Paul Mescal isn't taking a hiatus but looks forward to two years without constant film promotion, focusing on challenging roles like 'Hamnet' and upcoming projects while protecting his private life.

Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams enjoyed a low-key Golden Globes afterparty date, holding hands at Chateau Marmont, following Mescal's film Hamnet's major wins, while keeping their relationship largely private together.

Maggie O'Farrell's teenage fascination with 'Hamlet' inspired her novel 'Hamnet,' spotlighting Shakespeare's son. The acclaimed book was adapted into a 2025 film, co-written by Chloé Zhao, starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley.
