PAUL MESCAL "Hamnet" promo // Vogue (January 2026)

I know we've met briefly, but it's such a shame Dais hasn't properly introduced us yet. What do you think, should we just become best friends ourselves and leave her out of it? I'm honestly voting yes. ( @sebastianseb )

[paulcolm]

My sister sent me a TikTok of this very handsome Irish guy, apparently a singer, was in a boyband... not sure if you know him, where he admitted I'm a good-looking guy. Do you think that automatically makes us friends? Because I'm leaning towards yes. ( @niallfame )

[paulcolm]

So, we both worked with Joseph, me a little more than you, considering I've been putting up with him since Gladiator, but when do you think it's going to be our turn? Whether it's a theatre production or a film/TV project, I feel like we've waited long enough. ( @sadissink )

[paulcolm]

My favourite non-Irish Irish gal! You're #1 and Dais is #2, by the way, I hope you take this into account. You have no idea how much I've been missing you lately. So when are we finally doing that rom-com everyone on the internet already knows I want us to make? Hopefully soon. I've got a second project coming up with Jessie… and none with you? Yeah, we need to fix that immediately. ( @ayodebiris )

[paulcolm]

Madam, wife of Isaac, it is a pleasure beyond measure to behold you once more. Pray tell, what news does life bring you since last we conversed? Okay, enough… but honestly, I can't even remember when that last time was. I was going to blame Paul McCartney… but no, that's a joke, I'd never actually blame him. ( @jchastainfm )

[paulcolm]

Is there anything about becoming a mum that you feel genuinely changed in you? Not necessarily in the obvious ways, but something about how you see the world, yourself, or even the things you care about. I always find it interesting hearing people talk about that, because everyone says parenthood changes you, but it seems like the changes are rarely the ones they expected beforehand. ( @hailsbaldwiin )

[paulcolm]

I saw you're filming a movie and when I went to look it up I read the director described it as "a forehead kiss and a spit in the face" and now I'm even more curious about it. How are you finding switching between acting and music at the moment, do they feel like completely separate worlds for you, or do they end up feeding into each other more than people would expect? I always find it fascinating when someone moves between the two. ( @dovemf )

[paulcolm]

Dais, I don't know if you're in London and actually free, but if you are, why don't you come over? We could watch a film, get some food in, just have a chilled night. See where the night takes us and all that. And if you're not in town, let me know when I can whisk you away. ( @daisyedgxrjones )

it has been awhile since i have seen my friends from school and to know that two of them are mothers is crazy to me. after cancun i got invited to go to lunch for one of my friend's daughter's eleventh birthday along with two of her daughter's friends. i've never babysat a day in my life, but spending almost an entire day with my friends and their kids i gotta say, i enjoyed it. it is pretty funny to see them go crazy in the afternoon, only to get really tired throughout the day and have resting bitch face at the end of the night because they tired themselves out. i told them not to go crazy at the arcade and the playground, but hey, kids huh, seems as though they don't listen to anyone these days. @hfrpstarters

[paulcolm]

That really does make you realize how much time has passed, doesn't it? When my school friends start getting married and having kids… that's the kind of thing that makes me feel about ninety years old for a second. That sounds like such a nice day. I love that you got the full experience too, watching them sprint around like they've got unlimited energy, completely ignoring every sensible warning, only to hit a wall later and look utterly done with life by the end of the night. The fact that you actually enjoyed spending the day with them is probably a good sign, though. Even if you've never babysat before, it sounds like you survived your trial by fire pretty well. You think you're ready for kids?
