Paul Mescal faced off in a trivia game about his life with his biggest fan… and came up short
Paul Mescal's most ardent admirer has undoubtedly cemented her status. This became unmistakably clear during a playful trivia showdown between the "Gladiator II" actor and a woman known solely as Larissa, who manages the thriving @paulmescalpics fan page on Instagram. In a video shared on Wednesday by both @paulmescalpics and the official "Gladiator" film franchise account, Larissa is heralded as "Paul's ultimate fan." She impressively outshines Mescal with her knowledge of his personal history during a series of biographical queries.
Initially, things looked promising for Mescal. He exulted after correctly answering the first question, quipping, "I love how I am celebrating the fact that I am just knowing the answers about my life." However, the mood shifted humorously as Mescal faltered on several questions, including his debut film and the year he completed drama school.
Nonetheless, Mescal confidently nailed the question about his preferred dish, asserting, "I think I get to decide what my favorite dinner is!" A moment of humility struck when he realized his graduation year was actually 2017, not 2015 as he believed. "I got my own life wrong there," Mescal admitted. "I lost that comfortably."
Looking at Larissa, Mescal, with genuine respect, acknowledged, "Even though I hate losing, I lost to a better Paul." Larissa proudly captioned her post for her 175K followers, "I played a little game of 'Who Knows Paul Best?' with Paul Mescal and I actually won.
