Paul Mescal was impressed when he virtually met the winner of his look-alike competition.

During an appearance on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast showPaul had a video call with the lookalike, whose astonishing resemblance to him surprised the actor.

The Gladiator II actor, 28, was joined in the interview by his co-stars Denzel Washington and Connie Nielsen.

When the Normal people star met the lookalike, a man named Jack Wall O’Reilly, he exclaimed, “These are bananas.”

He said to Jack, “I actually saw the picture, I didn’t know it happened until it was over and I think you captured the spirit of me very well.”

Jack replied: “Thank you very much. I assumed you were home with your family getting some rest after the long press tour.

“Oh, you are so kind and thoughtful,” said the All of us strangers star replied.

Denzel then chimed in and told Jack to turn to the side where I want to see the profile, as Jack said, yes, everyone says this is the profile.

Paul Mescal stars in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator IIwhich will be released in theaters on November 22.
