Singer Gracie Abrams, who usually keeps her romance with Paul Mescal under wraps, couldn't hold back her admiration for his latest film. In a rare gushy Instagram moment, she called his performance singular and urged fans to catch Hamnet in theaters. With Oscar buzz swirling, this love letter from the set has us all smiling.
Oh, the tea is piping hot from Gracie Abrams' Instagram Stories! The 26-year-old hitmaker behind 'That's So True' has been dating Normal People heartthrob Paul Mescal on the down-low, but on Friday, January 16, she let the cat out of the bag – or should we say, the short shorts? 😏
Kicking off with a snap of Paul deep in the woods, rocking those iconic tiny shorts, Gracie dove right in: 'Okay so.' She then poured her heart out about the film Hamnet, where Paul plays William Shakespeare and is tipped for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nod. 'I’ve found it nearly impossible to find the words to describe the weight of this film and the way it has remained in my bones since I saw it for the first time,' she wrote, getting teary-eyed in her kitchen while flipping through set pics. 'But we are sat in the kitchen right now and I am looking back on these pictures and got immediately teary, so I’m just going to say that Chloe is singular. Jessie is singular. Paul is singular. Thank god for what they made. Go see it and you will be better off.'
And the cherry on top? A solo shot of Paul with the simple, swoon-worthy caption: 'Also I love him surprise.' 💕 She didn't stop there, pushing for the full theater vibe: 'PS the experience of being in a big dark room (three times) packed full of people feeling and sobbing and holding each other… A reminder and a relief. Try that version.'
This comes hot on the heels of the couple stepping out together post-Golden Globes last weekend – a subtle confirmation they're still going strong. Rare public affection from these two? Iconic. But with awards season looming, will Gracie be cheering from the front row? Spill more, girl!
