Paul Mescal, 28, couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he posed with his proud siblings Nell, 21, (M) and Donnacha (L), after gracing the carpet at the Gladiator II movie premiere on Wednesday.
The Irish actor, who plays the former heir to the Roman Empire Lucius Verus in the blockbuster, opted for an elegant black suit with a cream-colored satin shirt at the premiere.
Gladiator II will hit theaters in the US and UK on November 22, where Oscar nominee Paul’s character battles three-time Emmy nominee Pedro’s Roman general-turned-gladiator, man-eating baboons, and a rhinoceros-riding warrior.
Paul took on the role of Lucius Verus (Spencer Treat Clark), the adult nephew of the late Roman Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), who idolized the late general-turned-slave-turned-gladiator Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe).
Gladiator II, which has men fighting on giant ships in shark-infested waters, will also star Matt Lucas, Fred Hecnhinger, May Calamawy, Lior Raz, Peter Mensah and Tim McInnerny.
“Working on this movie was one of the highlights of my life to date,” Paul gushed in the pre-recorded introduction.
“Going to work every day with Sir Ridley Scott behind the camera is a good day to work in any context.”
Speaking candidly earlier this summer, Nell insisted that her success in the music industry is solely down to her hard work and not her famous brother.
The composer told in a new candid interview how her brother’s fame has impacted her.

Nell has now said that when she was first signed for her music and came to the UK, she was encouraged to drop her surname, so she missed out on the association with Paul.
she said Sunday weather: ‘When I first signed and came to the UK, a lot of people said to me: ‘Do you want to change your name to Nell?’
‘No. I love my name. Many people will assume that any room I walk into is because of a certain thing (their brother), but that’s not true and that’s something I’ve come to terms with. I know I am where I am because of how hard I work.’
Of Paul’s fame he added: “It’s strange to see so many people fall in love with him, but of course because he’s a great guy.” It’s wonderful to see him work so hard and have it pay off.”
Donnacha’s siblings and her brother’s parents are Dearbhla, a Gardi, and Paul, a schoolteacher, both from Maynooth in County Kildare.
In the interview, he added that the brothers do mostly normal things together, like movies and takeout nights, and that as a family they are “really best friends.”

‘Each song tells a part of the same story with a beginning, a middle and an end. Some songs are written in the moment and others in retrospect.
‘It talks about my life and how I deal with the experiences that have shaped me. The most important thing is that I think it’s about leaving behind the things that used to dominate me.”
