Paul took to the stage at Studio 8H, and said “I’m Paul Mescal and it is great to be here. I’ve always loved SNL. This place has such history.”
He continued continued, “Growing up back home I never expected to be here. I’m also excited to be here because I’m not really known for comedy, which is funny to me because I think I’ve given a lot of really funny performances.”
The Hollywood star sported an all black outfit for the SNL debut.
While reflecting on his acting, Paul noted, “I think it’s clear, I’m not afraid to do emotional scenes, or nude scenes, or nude emotional scenes. But recently, I did pivot to something new in ‘Gladiator II.’ It’s a big action-packed blockbuster.”
Moreover, Marcello Hernandez also appeared for a few cameo scenes during the episode.
