Speaking to GQ, Mescal joked about the film saying, "The only thing I will forever be angry at Ridley for is his deep desire to shoot at the f***ing peak of summer, as a pasty Irish boy who does not do well in the heat, in armour, covered in fake tan and sweat, rolling around."

He continued saying "I know Gladiator is by far and away the biggest thing I've done in terms of a public-facing responsibility, and the amount of people that are going to get to it."
