As the news of Paul Mescal‘s latest highly anticipated movie lands in Queerguru’s intray its yet another reminder how much we love this current crop of Irish actors who are swooping up awards and stealing all our hearts.  Even though some are not members of the LGBTQ community, we can still appreciate them on ‘so many levels’!

Mescal and fellow queer Irish actor Andrew Scott played a pair of lovers in Andrew Haigh‘s ALL OF US STRANGERS, which Queerguru’s Ris Fatah described as  ‘a moving, must-see work of genius.”

Irish actor and composer Rory Fleck Byrne just starred with Brit queer actor Ben Whishaw in This Is Going To Hurt

Fra Fee is a Northern Irish queer actor and singer who recently starred in Lost Boys and Fairies : which Queerguru reviewed as probably the best ever queer TV series of 2024 : and we defy you not to shed floods of tears

Barry Keoghan, gave a very convincing gay for pay performance in Emerald Fennell’s psychological thriller Saltburn  a tale of lust and obsession as the seven deadly sins reap havoc on the household. 

Now come Thanksgiving we will be dashing to select US movie theaters to see Mescal star in HAMNETT . This is the untold love story that inspired Shakespeare’s greatest masterpiece and his co star is the Irish Academy Award Nominee Jessie Buckley and its directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, and produced by Steven Spielberg and Sam Mendes.
