Andrew Scott cheered on fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal at the world premiere of Gladiator II in London last night (November 13).
The premiere took place at the Odeon Luxe, Leicester Square, and was scheduled as the royal film performance, stage by the UK’s Film and TV charity.
Scott who co starred alongside Mescal in All Of Us Strangers last year, embraced his friend Mescal on the red carpet.
The premiere was also attended by King Charles III, who met the Maynooth native, as well as co stars such as Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal and Connie Nielsen, alongside director Ridley Scott.
Earlier this week, Ridley Scott hinted that a third instalment of Gladiator could be on the cards, something which Mescal also said he “absolutely love” to do.

Last week, Gladiator II was premiered at the Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield, Dublin.
Gladiator II is a follow up to the hugely successful box office classic, which starred Russell Crowe as Maximus in 2000.
The film sees Normal People star Paul Mescal star as Maximus’ son Lucius, in a film which is set 15 years after his father’s death. This is also the first time that Mescal will be the central star of a movie. More on this here.
Speaking about his homecoming, the actor said: “I was holding out for something like this to happen, but I never expected it to be this big”.
On putting together this sequel, director Ridley Scott added: “There’s a great deal of excitement about doing a film of this scale. You have to live through a great deal of stress. In fact, you’ve got to embrace stress! I do. It keeps me flying”.

Gladiator II will hit cinema screens tomorrow (Friday November 15).
