‘Someone set this up’: Paul Mescal and Jodie Comer's fans claim they'd make the 'perfect couple' after their appearance at Olivier Awards

The pair appeared on the red carpet with their gongs.

They have just scooped two major gongs at last night’s Olivier Awards but it seems the only thing on everyone’s minds right now is just how great Paul Mescal and Jodie Comer look together.

The actors sparked a reaction from fans after attending the Olivier Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. Mescal picked up Best Actor for his role in A Streetcar Named Desire while Comer won Best Actress for her role in Prima Facie.

For both Mescal and Comer, it was their first Olivier award which celebrates the best talents on stage. During his acceptance speech, Mescal thanked his mother Dearbhla, who is currently receiving treatment for cancer, in his speech, before adding: “I hope you get better.”

Meanwhile Killing Eve star Comer said in her speech, “'I'm so overwhelmed. This play has changed my life. I am so grateful and I have so many people to thank.”

Comer used her speech to inspire those who want to follow in her footsteps “One thing I would like to say to any kids who haven't been to drama school, who can't afford to go to drama school, who has been rejected from drama school, don't let anyone tell you that it isn't possible.

“It might take the stars to align and you to be met with generous, kind, patient people but it is possible.”

The star added, “Mum, Dad, I love you, and my Grandad is 82 today so happy birthday.”

Prima Facie follows the story of a barrister from a working class background who is at the top of her game before an unexpected event changes her life. Comer has received critical acclaim for her performance and is heading to Broadway when the play moves across the pond later this month.
