Candid Confession Unveils Friendship’s True Colors
In an exclusive interview, “Normal People” starlet Daisy Edgar-Jones, 26, has finally put to rest the rampant speculation surrounding a viral Met Gala photograph with her former co-star, Paul Mescal, 28. The image, taken in 2022, captured Mescal seemingly fixated on Edgar-Jones while posing with his then-girlfriend, Phoebe Bridgers. This led to a frenzy of rumors, with fans theorizing about a secret romantic connection between the two actors.
Edgar-Jones, in a refreshingly candid video for WhoWhatWear, dispelled the rumors, revealing the true narrative behind the snapshot.
A Met Gala Rendezvous Gone Awry
“I was having an out-of-body experience at the Met Gala,” Edgar-Jones confessed, recounting her agreement with Mescal to meet and walk the red carpet together. However, a timing mishap led to Mescal arriving fashionably late, leaving Edgar-Jones to navigate the star-studded event solo.
“Paul had said, ‘Come and meet me, and we could do it together,'” she recalled. “Because we were such good friends, and it would be cool to go together.”
A Friend’s Gaze, Not a Lover’s Longing
As Edgar-Jones waited, completing a Vogue interview, Mescal finally arrived with Bridgers. The viral moment was simply Mescal spotting his friend from afar, not a clandestine expression of affection as many had speculated.
“Finally, Paul came with Phoebs, and we were waiting and did the carpet together,” Edgar-Jones clarified. “And honestly, he’s my pal, so he was probably just being like, ‘There she is!'”
Red Carpet Jitters and a Questionable Pose
The actress admitted that her primary concern at the time wasn’t the ensuing rumors, but rather her awkward red-carpet pose. “It was still early days, so I didn’t know how to pose on a red carpet,” she confessed, lamenting her “deep leg cross” stance in the photo.
Mescal’s Candid Frustration
While Edgar-Jones has gracefully addressed the rumors, Mescal has previously expressed his frustration with the speculative nature of fans and the media. In an interview with Vanity Fair, he confessed feeling “really mad and upset” about the unfounded speculation surrounding his personal life.
The End of a Hollywood Romance
Mescal and Bridgers, who began dating in 2020, parted ways in early 2023, further fueling the rumor mill. However, Edgar-Jones’s revelation serves as a reminder that friendships can blossom amidst the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, without the need for romantic entanglements.
