Paul Mescal ‘doesn’t want to be seen again’ until Beatles films. Paul Mescal wants to step away from the limelight until the press tour for The Beatles films ramps up.

The actor is playing Paul McCartney in the four film cinematic event from Sir Sam Mendes. The films are scheduled for release in April 2028 and the actor has said he wants to ration his workload in a new interview. The 29-year-old has two films, Hamnet and The History of Sound, being released this month and said his growing list of film credits has come at a personal cost. In a new interview in The Guardian, he said: “I’m five or six years into this now, and I feel very lucky.

But I’m also learning that I don’t think I can go on doing it as much.” When asked if he is rationing himself, he said: “I think so. I’m gonna have to start doing that. For sure. Rationing doesn’t necessarily mean less. He added: “What that (career) rationing looks like, I don’t know. I miss being on stage, so I might have a time when I’m only doing theatre for a couple of years. I also have different priorities in my personal life that I want to attend to. “Once I’ve finished promoting that, I hope nobody gets to see me until 2028 when I’m doing the Beatles. People will get a break from me and I’ll get a break from them.”

The Beatles four film cinematic event is an ambitious project that will tell the lives of each of the Fab Four.
