@chapscinema: the viral photograph from the 2022 Met Gala capturing Paul Mescal looking toward Daisy Edgar-Jones while standing alongside his then-girlfriend, Phoebe Bridgers, attracted significant media and public attention. this imagery led to widespread public speculation regarding a potential romance between the two co-stars. the two actors originally met while playing an intensely romantic couple on the television show Normal People. due to their strong on-screen chemistry, audiences frequently speculated that they were together in real life. over the years, fans pointed to numerous interviews and public appearances where they believed Mescal appeared to want a deeper relationship, making the Met Gala photograph seem like another example of this perceived dynamic. however, Edgar-Jones later clarified that the moment was strictly an expression of supportive friendship: as it was her first time attending the event, she felt overwhelmed by the large crowds, and Mescal had agreed beforehand that they would meet up inside. Mescal arrived later than expected, and his expression was simply a reaction to spotting his colleague on the red carpet. #hollywood #MetGala #paulmescal #daisyedgarjones #redcarpet
