.hulu's NormalPeople stars, DaisyEdgarJones and mescal_paul, talk about the raw and real depiction of sex on their show.

play star-crossed lovers Marianne and Connell, whose romance spans several years -- from their days in high school to university. As the 12-episode series set in Ireland progresses, Marianne and Connell go through incredible highs and the lowest of lows in their friendship turned all-consuming love story.

In January, ET sat down with Edgar-Jones, 21, and Mescal, 24, in his onscreen debut, at a five-star Pasadena, California, hotel for a 20-minute conversation about playing beloved literary characters, stripping down naked for intimate sex scenes, and why the characters' romance transcends time.I like stories that involve romance and love. But I think when you look at it, I feel like in Connell, from my perspective, I'm representing a lot of people that I know and people that I understand.

Marianne and Connell's love story has this timeless appeal to it. They're trying to figure out their identities separate from each other, but also together. They fail and they succeed. What is your take on their journeys?I think Connell's a lot happier with Marianne in his life than he is without her. I think he is less independent than he believes that he is.
