Paul Mescal from ‘Normal People’ is heading to Australia for his next movie
The 'Normal People' heartthrob is setting his sights down under for his next big movie.

After his quick rise to stardom on Normal People, actor Paul Mescal has been busy filling up his calendar with movie and TV projects.

It was recently announced his latest starring will be in an exciting film adaptation of the iconic opera, Carmen, set to film down under.

Aussie fans of the Irish actor will be happy to hear Carmen will start shooting in Australia early next year.

While the exact location is yet to be announced, we do know that shooting is scheduled to begin on 18 January – meaning Mescal will get to swap the Irish winter for an Australian summer.

Mescal will star alongside Mexican actress and singer Melissa Barrera and says he’s excited to start filming.

“I’m honored to have been cast alongside Melissa, an actor I greatly admire and it’s an incredible privilege to be working with Benjamin on his first feature, who has put together such an impressive creative team,” he said.

For those unfamiliar with the plot of the opera, Carmen follows the story of a married soldier who falls for a factory worker named Carmen, set in 1830s Seville.
