Summary
On this special bonus episode of The Run-Through, Chole Malle and Vogue’s features editor Marley Marius sit down with two of the internet’s finest boyfriends, Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor. The duo star in the new film History of Sound where their musical abilities are put to the test. “I'm always jealous of musicians,’ says Mescal. “I'm jealous of the fact that they don't need permission to work. [They] can sit down at a piano and feel creatively engaged.”
Mescal is busy preparing for his upcoming role in the Beatles film where he will be playing Paul McCartney. O’Connor reveals his ‘hippie’ hobbies including ceramics, bee keeping and gardening.
Mescal and O’Connor also reveal the lessons they’ve learned on how to master the red carpet. “It can feel quite exposing being yourself in a weird way,” shares O’Connor. Video of this conversation is available to watch on Vogue.com and on Vogue’s Youtube Channel.
