He's about to star in the highly anticipated sequel to Roman epic Gladiator – but Paul Mescal has already given the Italians a glimpse of what they might be in for.
The heart-throb Irish actor, 28, stripped off in a fountain near Rome while filming First World War-era romance The History of Sound.
He was spotted whipping off his pin-striped suit, shirt and shoes before leaping into the 18th-century Fontana Monumentale in Tarquinia.
Based on a story by U.S. author Ben Shattuck, it sees Mescal's character, Lionel, fall in love with David, played by Josh O'Connor – best known as Prince Charles in The Crown.
This latest project is a far cry from Mescal's star turn in Sir Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2.
Due for release later this year, it will see him take on the Roman Empire as Lucius Verus, the grown-up son of Lucilla, portrayed as a child in the Oscar-winning original from 2000 starring Russell Crowe.
In preparation for the highly physical role, Mescal transformed his body via hours in the gym.

The on-location shoot in Italy saw the star step into the fountain in Tarquinia, which lies to the north-west of Rome
