As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of both Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, I couldn’t help but be thrilled when I heard about their friendly fitness competition during the making of their respective films, “Gladiator II” and “Twisters.” Having watched them bring their characters to life in “Normal People,” it was fascinating to see their real-life camaraderie and commitment to their craft.
Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones developed a strong connection during the filming of “Normal People.” Their exceptional performances in the poignant Hulu show, which explored themes of grief, anxiety, and more, have left fans eagerly waiting for potential future seasons. Despite the uncertainty surrounding an “NP” Season 2, their friendship appears to remain solid. Following the success of Sally Rooney’s adaptation, Mescal starred in this year’s “Gladiator II,” while Edgar-Jones took on the lead role in the summer blockbuster “Twisters.” It is said that they turned working out for their respective characters into a shared effort, which eventually transformed into a friendly competition.
The actors from “Twisters” recently appeared on Australia’s “Sunrise” early morning program for an exciting discussion about their new disaster movie set to hit theaters. Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos, who make up the delightful trio, were thrilled to share details about the project. In a clip of their interview that was posted on TikTok, they spoke about the film and answered questions from the host. Edgar-Jones was asked about her co-star Paul Mescal and his impressive physique. She expressed her enthusiasm for Mescal and revealed that because they both worked out for their respective roles, they engaged in a friendly competition.
When I was preparing for Twisters competitions, Paul was gearing up for his Gladiator training. We had an informal challenge going on between us to see who could build more muscle mass. In my opinion, it seems like Paul came out on top in this contest.
As a gamer, I’d put it this way: Daisy Edgar-Jones exudes an irresistible charm that has me hooked just from watching the Twisters trailers. I’d follow her into a tornado with Glen Powell and Anthony Ramas in tow without a second thought. But when it comes to raw strength and size, Paul Mescal takes the crown. He reportedly hit the gym hard with Joseph Quinn for Gladiator II, and the results speak for themselves. He carefully crafted his muscular build to embody a powerful warrior instead of just a movie star. His new look has fans raving and referring to it as their “Roman Empire.”
Certainly, Daisy Edgar-Jones, the star of “Fresh,” shouldn’t underestimate her accomplishments. In an interview, her co-star praised her efforts and urged her to claim more credit for the physical preparation required to portray characters chasing tornadoes on the big screen. The cast went as far as asking Daisy to show off her toned biceps, a feat that certainly wasn’t effortless. Here’s a clip of that moment on TikTok:

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal’s gym rivalry is something I’m thoroughly fond of. Despite having distinct fitness objectives, they’ve impressed us all by achieving their goals. Their dedication has only added to the excitement for their upcoming films in the 2024 movie lineup. Though it may be some time before we see them together on set again, be assured that their bond remains strong as they continue to thrive in their respective careers.
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be able to watch Daisy Edgar-Jones in “Twisters” when it premieres in theaters on July 19th. And if that’s not enough, Paul Mescal will appear in “Gladiator II” when it hits cinemas on November 22nd. For those who can’t wait, both of these talented actors can be found together in “Normal People,” which is now available to stream with a Hulu subscription.
