“I’m aware that the ending is ambiguous … I’d be just desperately upset to know that those two people have that connection and that they aren’t together — that would literally drive me mad,” says Paul Mescal of NormalPeople’s ending
Photo: India Mullen Sally Rooney’s Normal People is a novel about class, power, depression, young love, and sex. Lots of sex. The Hulu adaptation, out today, covers the same moody, lustful territory, now supplemented with visuals of young, attractive people exchanging meaningful looks and staring into the Irish scenery. Paul Mescal, the 24-year-old Irish actor who co-stars in the series, is, to put it mildly, a visual highlight.
Scenes between Connell and Marianne feel so intimate it’s sometimes hard to watch, like you’re getting caught reading someone’s diary. This includes the sex scenes, of course, but also smaller moments, like when the two lock eyes at a party while Frank Ocean’s “Nikes” plays in the background. You watch this, and you know — even if you haven’t read the novel — that these two are going to destroy each other without even trying.
My overall experience of shooting those scenes was really quite positive. Me and Daisy felt safe, and ultimately, if you don’t feel safe, the scene is going to suffer because you’d have two incredibly self-conscious individuals fumbling around trying to get the scene right. You would never dream of doing a double backflip with a car without a stunt coordinator.

While other famous people struggle to remain relevant by hawking wines or hosting podcasts (no one wants a podcast from Andrew Yang), Bird and Rapinoe have found their sweet spot with their new Instagram live show, A Touch More. The concept of the show is simple, Bird and Rapinoe get wasted while chatting on Instagram Live with their friends. The simplicity is what makes the show so great.
