The History Of Sound actor Paul Mescal has said his “admiration” for co-star Josh O’Connor “extended tenfold” during the making of the film.

The 29-year-old stars as Lionel in the movie, which follows his character’s relationship with David (played by O’Connor) after the pair meet in 1917 at the New England Conservatory, and following the First World War, before travelling together recording folk songs in rural Maine in winter 1920.
