Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott have admitted they weren’t keen on their relatives watching their new film All Of Us Strangers.
The film stars Andrew, 47, as a screenwriter who is drawn back to his family home and begins a relationship with a mysterious neighbor, played by Paul, 27.
The film features several intimate scenes between the actors that the couple discussed during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
When asked if their families had seen the film yet, Paul said: ‘With the Irish premiere it’s a tricky thing to allocate tickets to all the aunts and uncles. They’ve seen my ass before, but there’s a little more going on in this movie I’d say!’
Andrew added: ‘I don’t want to be there when my parents watch it!’

Paul shared the award for Best Supporting Performance for his role in the film with How To Have Sex’s Shaun Thomas.
Elsewhere during the interview, Paul discussed his role in the upcoming blockbuster Gladiator 2.
He said: ‘I finished filming yesterday and survived. It’s finished. I’m not allowed to say anything, but it will be out during Thanksgiving this year.”
Andrew, who talked about recently playing eight different roles in the one-man version of Vanya, added: “It’s good because if you mess up there’s no one to upset and Chekov is dead, but it was really weird , you miss the other actors, and it’s lonely.’
Also on the show were Vera star Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Peaky Blinders’ Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Da’Vine said of her role in Alexander Payne’s new comedy The Holdovers: “I’m from Philadelphia and I spent a lot of time in New York, so I had to have a dialect coach.
“I had to work on finding not just a Boston accent, but an accent from the ’60s and ’70s, and that of an African American. It was hard, so I listened to a lot of interviews, especially Donna Summer’s.”
When asked about the upcoming series Only Murders in the Building and working with Meryl Streep, she said: “When I found out she was going to be in it, I begged and said, ‘Please God, I just want one scene with her.’ ‘ and it happened. I can arrest her! She’s so amazing.’
Kingsley spoke about taking the lead in the new biopic Bob Marley: One Love, in which he plays the legendary reggae singer.

Da’Vine spoke about working with Meryl Streep in Only Murders In The Building and said: ‘She’s so amazing’ (L-R, Andrew, Paul, Da’Vine, Graham, Kingsley, Abigail Morris and Emily Roberts)
He said: ‘The plan was always for it to be his voice, but I took singing lessons so I could understand him and what it’s like to sing. By the time we got to the acoustic sessions, parts of the songs were mine and I wasn’t horribly butchering them!’
Speaking more about the film, he added: “I didn’t know much about his story, so I spoke to a lot of his friends and family. He was such an icon and a hero, but I wanted to know who he was as a man and as a father. On the first day of filming, all those people were behind the camera. I was so scared.’
Kingsley revealed that he prepared for the role while on the set of Barbie: “I only had eight weeks to prepare, so I bought a guitar and did a lot of research. I set up my ‘Bob station’ right behind where Ryan Gosling shouts ‘Sublime’.
