Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones have thrown their support behind Sally Rooney, whose book “Normal People” would catapult them both to fame following its hit TV adaptation.

The pair — alongside numerous others, including Mescal’s Oscar-winning “Hamnet” co-star Jessie Buckely — have signed an open letter to the U.K. government backing Rooney, whose books are now banned for sale in the country due to her support for Palestine Action, a pro-Palestinian group proscribed as a terrorism organization by authorities. Last year she said intended to carry on using her royalties to support the group.
