Andrew Scott has spoken out on his close friendship with his All Of Us Strangers co-star Paul Mescal, calling him ' a wonderful friend.'
The Irish actors worked together on their Oscar-nominated movie, and spent awards season together, delighting fans with their red carpet antics.

'I adore Paul, he's so, so … continues to be …' Andrew told The Sunday Times. 'Obviously it's been a tough time recently and he just continues to be a wonderful friend. It's everything.'

'The more I work in the industry, I realise, you make some stuff that people love and you make some stuff that people don't like, and all really that you are left with is the relationships that you make. I love him dearly.'
All Of Us Strangers sees Andrew star as a screenwriter drawn back to his childhood home who enters into a fledgling relationship with a mysterious neighbor played by Paul.
The film is an adaptation of Taichi Yamada’s 1987 Japanese psychological novel Strangers.
Director Andrew Haigh previously said that Paul and Andrew were 'fearless' when filming their sex scenes in the new movie.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, he said: 'There was chemistry between the two of them literally the second I saw them together.
'Both of them were pretty fearless. There was no sense of them being afraid of approaching those scenes. They knew how important they were.'
As well as the success of All Of Us Strangers, Andrew is currently basking in a flurry of positive reviews for his starring role in a new Netflix adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley.
He also recently collected the Critics' Circle Theatre award for his remarkable performance in a contemporary rendering of Chekhov masterpiece Vanya.

Nora's death was confirmed in a statement on March 9, with family members adding that she passed away on Thursday March 7 surrounded by her family at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin
But the occasion was tinged with sadness for the Irish star, whose devoted mother Nora passed away with a 'sudden illness' in March - shortly before Mother's Day.
And Scott - who dedicated the award to her memory by telling audience members 'she was the source of practically every joyful thing in my life' - admits he felt compelled to immerse himself in work following her recent passing.
'Well, you know, you have to — life goes on, you manage it day by day,' he told the Sunday Times.
'It's very recent, but I certainly can say that so much of it is surprising and unique, and there is so much that I will be able to speak about at some point.'
