Irish, Oscar-nominated actor Paul Mescal has received an apology from the BBC are he was wrongly called 'British'. This is not the first time this has happened to the star.
But when covering the nominations, the national broadcaster made a rather awkward error.
In text appearing on screen, the BBC reported: ‘2023 Oscar nominations: British actors Paul Mescal and Bill Nighy are nominated for leading role.’that read: ‘In text running across the screen we reported that Paul Mescal was one of two British actors who had been nominated for an Oscar for a leading role.’When the mistake was made, plenty of people pointed it out and reminded the media outlet that Paul is very much Irish.Another added: ‘The BBC should know that Paul Mescal isn’t British.
It lead the actor to tweet ‘I’m Irish’, which ended up becoming the most-liked post in his home country that year.The message quickly racked up over 130,000 likes as well as over 12,000 retweets and over 1,600 replies. His Oscar nomination helped break a record for Ireland too, with the country securing 14 nominations in the upcoming awards ceremony.
