"I like to manipulate the tears out of people with...sexiness."

You know when an interview features Paul Mescal saying a line like that it's going to be a banger, and the Chicken Shop Date above by no means disappoints.

Sitting opposite host Amelia Dimoldenberg, the All of Us Strangers star talks about everything from his newfound love of Guinness to his flirting techniques.

It's every bit as hilarious and awkward as we'd hope it would be.
