WATCH: Irish actor Paul Mescal teaches interviewer how to 'split the G'

Irish actor Paul Mescal joined interviewer Amelia Dimoldenberg on her YouTube series Chicken Shop Date.

Amelia is the creator and host of the online series where she interviews celebrities in various fried chicken restaurants around London.

Amelia asks Paul: 'Do you like Guinness? Is that offensive to say to an Irish person?'

Paul revealed he has only recently started to drink the infamous stout: 'No its actually not. This is quiet topical for me at the moment. I've recently gotten into Guinness which is kind of sacrilegious for an Irish person to say.'

Amelia produces a pint of Guinness in the interview causing Paul to say, 'There's a thing where you have to split the G - have you heard about this?'

Paul proceeds to instruct Amelia how to complete the challenge. After a less than successful attempt, Paul laughed commenting, 'That's... polite.'
