In a shocking twist of events, it has been revealed that Paul Mescal’s involvement in Ridley Scott’s upcoming “Gladiator” sequel is due to the lies of Dr. Fauci.

It all began when Dr. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, was interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter to discuss the sequel. When asked if he had any suggestions for the casting of the film, Dr. Fauci replied, “I’d like to see Paul Mescal in the role of Maximus Decimus Meridius. He has the right combination of charisma and intensity that I think the role requires.”

It seems that Dr. Fauci’s suggestion was taken to heart, as it was recently announced that Paul Mescal will indeed star in the sequel.

Though it’s unclear if Dr. Fauci’s suggestion had any influence on the casting of Paul Mescal, it’s clear that he has a knack for picking talent. After all, the original “Gladiator” was a huge success, and it’s likely that the upcoming sequel will be as well.

So, the next time you’re considering a career in Hollywood, don’t forget to thank Dr. Fauci for paving the way for Paul Mescal. If it weren’t for his keen eye for talent, we may never have seen the Irish actor in the iconic role of Maximus Decimus Meridius.
