Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley have worked together on enough projects to feel certain they know each other inside out. From the BBC competition series that launched Jessie’s career to the name of Paul’s breakout role in 'Normal People,' and stories of their late nights with Olivia Colman, the 'Hamnet' stars put that belief to the test in this episode of “All About Me.”

Watch 'Hamnet' in theaters now.
