There aren’t many 24-year-old men as familiar with Egyptian Magic as Paul Mescal. The ‘multipurpose’ skin cream, beloved of beauty editors, had a very specific purpose on the set of Normal People: to make the actor and his 22-year-old co-star, Daisy Edgar-Jones – who played love-struck teens Connell and Marianne on the hit BBC show – appear as though they were bathed in sweat during their 41 minutes of sex scenes, spread out over 12 episodes. That’s a lot of Egyptian Magic. ‘And honestly,’ he deadpans, ‘I get PTSD whenever I hear the name.’ So any hopes the brand has of making him its ‘face’…? ‘Well, obviously we’re in talks right now.’

By conventional wisdom, Dave Asprey is a squarely middle-aged man. He is 48, husband to one long-suffering wife, father to two school-aged children, and proud owner of a dollop of ash-coloured hair. He likes gadgets, gizmos, fine coffee and fitness trends. He has a podcast.
Conventional wisdom, however, is one of Asprey’s two principal bêtes noires. The other is ageing. And so he does not consider himself middle-aged at all. No, at 48, Asprey believes he is the world’s oldest young adult.
