Earlier screening in London with Paul McCartney

Gracie Abrams’s recent online openness and birthday tribute
Recently Gracie Abrams has been more open about the relationship online. In early February she posted a birthday tribute to Mescal: a carousel of photos showing them enjoying a photo booth, sleeping in bed, eating at restaurants and hanging out with friends.
Her reaction to Hamnet and an Instagram Stories quote
In the previous month Abrams shared her thoughts after seeing Mescal’s film Hamnet, in which he stars with Jessie Buckley. She wrote in her Instagram Stories: “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, 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 Chloé [Zhao, the film’s director] is singular. Jessie [Buckley, Mescal’s co-star] is singular. Paul is singular. Thank god for what they made. Go see it and you will be better off. ”
