Watch as Normal People stars Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones meet up at Glastonbury – but crowds don’t recognise them
NORMAL People stars Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar Jones enjoyed a day out at Glastonbury yesterday – but crowds failed to recognise either of them.
Actors Paul, 28, and Daisy, 26, might be worldwide stars with a host of prestigious awards under their belt.
However, they didn’t seem to have any problems going incognito when they reunited to attend the huge festival.
In an exclusive video shared with The Sun, Paul and Daisy are seen having a blast in a crowd of thousands at Worthy Farm, Somerset.
Irishman Paul even takes some snaps on a vintage camera, but no-one around them even bats an eyelid.
A source told us: “Nobody noticed that two huge stars were standing right there in front of the stage when Olivia Dean was on – which is probably good as Paul would have been mobbed by girls!”
The two stars, who rose to fame playing the roles of Connell and Marianne, recently whipped fans into a frenzy after they teased that the original romantic drama would return to screens.
Back in May, Daisy took to Instagram and posted a selfie with Paul, posed with their two fingers up – which fans took as an indication of a new outing of the hit show.
She captioned the post: “We’ve got some news to share!! Watch this space.”
Fans were elated by the post, which they believed was a season two announcement, with one X user tweeting: “If we’re getting Normal People season two, I will melt.”
However, their assumptions were far-fetched, as the Normal People actors took to social media once more to clear the air.
In clips posted on Daisy’s Instagram stories, she and Paul explained that they are not making a second season after all.
Instead, they confirmed that they’re involved in a marathon screening of Normal People in London next month on Friday, June 16.
As the clip started, Paul, who will battle baboons as Lucius Verus in Gladiator II later this year, said: “Hello! The news is… um, we are incredibly sorry if we led people on, it’s not a season 2 announcement.”
Daisy quickly interrupted, saying: “No, not yet!” and added “There’s still time; keep the faith.”
The famous duo then leapt into a charity raffle for fans to get a chance to win tickets to attend the Normal People event in support of suicide and self-harm organisation Pieta and UNICEF.
Daisy and Paul are due to attend the special event and participate in a special Q&A following the run of all 12 episodes.
Normal People followed the relationship between Marianne and Connell Waldron as they come of age and start experiencing a rocky romantic and sexual entanglement.
The four-time Emmy-nominated show became an international sensation after it aired.
Recently, Daisy appeared on The Graham Norton Show and reflected on the show’s overnight success.
Speaking to the host, she said: “When I did Normal People, I had no idea what was going to happen, and thank goodness, as I would have been too terrified to do anything.”
Previously, the series director, Lenny Abrahamson, informed Radio Times: “I have a fantasy of doing a kind of ten-year [gap], seeing where they are in ten years’ time sort of thing,” when he was asked about the possibility of a second season.
He also told Deadline in 2020: “I’d love to revisit them in five years and find out what happened, where they are. Is somebody a father or a mother? What relationships are they in that then get disrupted by their meeting again?”
As a second season of Normal Lives still hasn’t been entirely written off by the actors and show bosses, fans are still hopeful that their wishes might come to fruition one day.
