Paul Mescal drunk and dancing in a hotel room? You have our full and undivided attention. Normal People mania is still very much in its throes of agitation. And the latest tantalising morsel we’ve been thrown is the Irish breakout actor starring – nay, dominating! – the new music video for Rolling Stones track “Scarlet”.

The song was originally recorded in 1974, featuring legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page – but will feature on a new reedited version of their 1973 album Goats Head Soup.

The start of the visuals sees a dishevelled and inebriated Mescal apologising to the titular Scarlet on video call: “Hey Scarlet, I’m a little bit drunk, I’m very sorry, I love you.” We proceed to see scenes that cover hip-gyrating, heavy drinking, dancing, and a bit of sobbing. Standard lockdown procedure really.
