If you, like me, have saved a special place in your heart for Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones ever since watching Normal People, listen up. The co-stars and IRL friends have some news... we just don’t know what it is.
Yesterday, Edgar-Jones took to her Instagram Story to tease that she and Mescal “have news to share,” but they’ve yet to reveal what. All we know is that we should “watch this space,” i.e. her Instagram, for updates. In the meantime, we can relish in this adorable selfie she posted with the almost-announcement.
Still, the teaser was enough to leave fans on the edge of their seats, and rightfully so. The pair has become an object of obsession, not only for their career-defining performances in Normal People (and their other buzzy projects since) but also for their sweet real-life friendship. Are they dating? Probably not. (Let the fans dream.) Do I still get giddy every time they’re photographed together? I’m practically kicking my feet like a little girl at the foot of her bed. Look at their smiles! The peace signs! How happy they look!!!
Whatever it is they’re announcing, they sure seem to be excited about it. While we await the news, we took a couple of guesses as to what the actors might have up their sleeves, ranging from likely possibilities to complete long shots. Here are our theories:
Nothing actually, it was all a big joke. Please. Please don’t do this to us.
