Yahoo Finance Normal People's Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones pose for a hilarious picture at the BAFTAs
We're pretty much used to everything happening social distancing-style by now, and the BAFTAs are no exception. But it's not all doom and gloom, as it's the adjusted TV awards ceremony we've got to thank for the latest adorable pictures of Normal People's Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones. There are some perks, right?
Enjoying a "surreal" reunion, the pair, who play Connell and Marianne in the BBC Three series, were comically dutiful while standing two metres apart at the event - even holding a tape measure between them as they posed for the cameras.
And as well as being a great example of how to follow the rules, the new pics have proven our theory that these two have the power to look cute doing, well, literally anything.
Sadly, the pair weren't up for any awards themselves as Normal People didn't air in time to be considered, but they were enlisted to present a gong alongside host Richard Ayoade. However, the show has been widely recognised by other awards ceremonies, with Paul adorably dedicating his Emmy nomination to Daisy after she missed out on a mention of her own.
Sitting two metres apart (of course) during an interview backstage at the BAFTAs, which was held at the BBC in London without an audience, the two stars revealed how they've come to terms with Normal People's "whirlwind success".
Paul explained, "It's hard to tell but I think both myself and Daisy were so excited to be doing it, but it's kind of grown legs."
Daisy also added that the in-person meeting felt odd, saying, "It's really surreal like being in person to talk about it, because we've mostly been in our own rooms."
Discussing the show's success, Paul said, "It has been a bit of a whirlwind and something we're both incredibly grateful for," while Daisy revealed that the BAFTAs was the first time she realised the show's huge impact, saying, "It's really nice but it's also hard to wrap your head around.
"This is the first time I've actually been to an event, and this is the first time I'm getting my head wrapped around what it really means."
More from these two, please!
