Actor Paul Mescal's mum revealed how she was folding the washing when her son was nominated for an Oscar.
The Maynooth man picked up a nomination for Best Actor for his role in Aftersun yesterday. The news came as a delight to the Mescal family who celebrated over a video call.
Mum Dearbhla said: "I don't watch [Oscar nominations]. It’s way too stressful. So I was folding the washing and Paul was obviously at work. Nell is in London and Donnacha is in New York so he was only just up.
