Paul Mescal admits that everybody pronounces his name wrong

• Paul Mescal is admitting that he has had his name mispronounced.
• The actor, 27, explained in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
• He explained that the mispronunciation of his name was caused by the beverage mezcal.

Paul Mescal 27, explained in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that people often get confused by his last name, “Mescal,” which he claims is pronounced with a softer “s” and “a.” The disclosure was made at the beginning of a video interview with the magazine, in which the Oscar candidate explained the entire pronunciation, even likening the sound of his last name to that of a particular alcoholic beverage.

He explained that the mispronunciation of his name was caused by the beverage mezcal. “Everyone practices it. I pronounce it “Mescal,” and I wonder if I have to name my tequila line “Mescal’s Mezcal” if I were to start one. I am undecided.” Because to his performance in Aftersun, Mescal is presently a Best Actor contender for the Academy Awards.

Brendan Fraser, who played Brendan in The Whale, is also nominated in this category. Brendan Fraser stated on Variety’s Actors on Actors with Adam Sandler that, contrary to what some of his fans have believed for years, his name actually rhymes with the word “razor.” A few celebrities who lately had to explain their name pronunciations include Fraser and Mescal.

Adele clarified her stage identity in a fan Q&A last year in Los Angeles to support the release of her “I Drink Wine” music video. After receiving a question from a fan in London through satellite, Adele, 34, responded, “Love that.” “She pronounced my name exactly!” The star claims that her name should be pronounced “uh-dale,” not “ah-dell.”

Lindsay Lohan most recently added her name to the ever-expanding list of celebrities who quietly informed followers that they had been emphasising the wrong syllable in her last name. In a video that served as her TikTok debut, Lindsay Lohan introduced herself as “Hello everyone, it is Lindsay Lohan,” pronouncing her name “Lo-hen” rather than “LO-han.”

The genuine pronunciation of Chrissy Teigen’s last name was revealed in a video she tweeted in 2018, shocking fans. She revealed that it is actually “tie-gen” instead of “tee-gen.”
