Paul Mescal is left red-faced as his cringeworthy attempt at doing an Aussie accent hilariously backfires

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for entertainment and cultural nuances, I must say it’s always refreshing to witness celebrities stepping out of their comfort zones and trying their hand at new accents. Paul Mescal’s attempt at an Australian accent during his recent interview was nothing short of entertaining, albeit a bit cringeworthy. It’s clear that he’s having a fantastic time in Sydney promoting Gladiator II, and I can relate to the nervous excitement that comes with trying something new and potentially stumbling along the way.


On Saturday, Paul Mescal found himself blushing deeply as his attempt to mimic an Australian accent ended up being quite comical instead.

Actor from “The Gladiator II,” aged 28, presently in Australia for film promotion, was questioned about adopting an Australian accent during a recent interview.

In an engaging chat with news.com.au, I was asked to share my thoughts on why Australians simply must catch the upcoming Gladiator sequel, straight from Down Under. Here’s why I think it’s a must-see!

Initially eager to attempt it, Paul soon discovered that mastering the renowned accent proved challenging for him, as he expressed: “Head over to the movie theaters, friend!

‘Go to the cinema, it’s a great movie. How’s that? F**ken swell!’ 

Paul’s embarrassing imitation of an Australian accent had everyone laughing, as he jokingly criticized his poor effort at capturing the regional dialect.

He quipped: ‘I apologise for that horrendous, horrendous accent!’

Regardless of not mastering the Australian accent, Paul has been thoroughly enjoying himself during the past few days while publicizing Gladiator II in Sydney.

In the highly anticipated sequel to the 2000 hit movie Gladiator, he will be stepping into Russell Crowe’s role as the main actor, with the film set to premiere in theaters this coming Thursday.

Recently, it was disclosed if Paul had communicated with Russell after landing the leading part in Gladiator II.

In a well-known event, Russell, aged 60, was honored with an Academy Award for his exceptional portrayal of Maximus in Gladiator, a film that grossed nearly half a billion dollars at the cinema.

In this latest version, Paul steps into the main character position previously held by Lucius, who admired Russell’s esteemed gladiator from the cherished original.

Previously, Russell stated that he held no influence over Gladiator II and was not involved in its development, going so far as to express a touch of envy towards the film’s new lead actor, Paul.

Now, it’s clear if Paul has interacted with Russell since he was chosen for the Ridley Scott-directed follow-up.

During an interview on Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa show, hosted by Kate Ritchie, Paul mentioned that he hasn’t received a call from Russell since assuming his new role.

‘I didn’t, no,’ he confessed, but said he still hopes to get in touch with the New Zealand actor.

Paul mentioned that he’s heard Russell discuss the sequel, and he’s only had positive things to say about it.

Recently, Russell expressed his thoughts on the much-anticipated follow-up to the hit movie that catapulted him to worldwide fame.

Through denying speculations about his role in the upcoming sequel, Russell subtly expressed his reservations towards certain plot points in the new movie.

On the Kyle Meredith with… podcast in June, the actor from Beautiful Mind expressed discomfort regarding the upcoming movie as he stated that he had no control over it due to his character’s unfortunate demise in the plotline.

He expressed, “Some things I’ve been told don’t align with the moral path of that specific character, as far as I’m concerned.

Although I can’t offer any insights, as it’s beyond my role, I find myself in a position where I can only observe. Time will tell what happens next.
