Jessie Buckley set the record straight after her eyebrow-raising comments about ‘Hamnet’ co-star Paul Mescal. Just a week after saying she "could drink" Paul "like water” during her Critics Choice Awards acceptance speech, the actress clarified what she meant backstage at the 2026 Golden Globes. “I meant that he is essential to what I need and what I’ve discovered as an actor is possible,” Jessie explained. “He brings you to the core of your humanity, and once you know what that is—it becomes like water.” Paul returned the praise, telling reporters that Jessie’s performance in ‘Hamnet’ would be studied for years to come. “When the dust settles on all of this awards chat, drama school students are gonna be studying what she did,” he said. “They’re gonna be talking about it forever—it’s one of the greatest performances we’re gonna be seeing for years.” The cultural impact is already clear: Jessie won Best Female Actor at both the Critics Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, while ‘Hamnet’ took home Best Picture – Drama at the Globes.
