Gladiator II’ stars Paul Mescal, Denzel Washington, Connie Nielsen and Fred Hechinger discussed filming Ridley Scott’s sequel at a special screening on the Paramount Pictures lot in Los Angeles on Oct.

Paul Mescal was "s*******" himself on the first day of 'Gladiator II' filming but director Sir Ridley Scott soon put paid to his nerves.

Saoirse Ronan turned out to support her pal Paul Mescal as his new movie – the highly anticipated Gladiator sequel – was screened for the first time in LA. The Irish stars have been firm friends since they starred alongside eachother in psychological thriller Foe and partied together at Glastonbury during the summer.
