'She put her hand on my a**': Paul Mescal recalls getting harassed by 'creepy' fan
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Paul Mescal claims that he was recently harassed in front of the Almeida Theatre in Islington, north London, by a "creepy" fan. The fan stopped him before the Almeida Theatre in Islington, hosting a sold-out performance of Tennessee Williams' classic play 'A Streetcar Named Desire with Mescal' in the lead, where the bizarre incident occurred.
In an interview for ES Magazine with Alexandra Jones, Mescal claimed that the woman had "grabbed my a**" without his permission. Mescal further said, "97% of it is really nice, and then 3% of it is someone like grabbing your a**," when describing his encounters with fans.

Mescal then explained the whole scenario with the fan and said, "As we posed for it, she put her hand on my a**." He added, "I thought it was an accident" but then the hand followed.
