Paul Mescal was left horrified after shooting to fame in 2020 when a crazed fan ran up to him during a night out to tell him that she had naked screenshots of him on her phone.
The Irish actor, 26, became a household name during the pandemic when he starred as Connell Waldron in BBC 3's Normal People alongside co-star, Daisy Edgar-Jones who played Marianne Sheridan in the heartbreaking coming-of-age drama series.
Previous to his starring role in Normal People, Paul had predominantly played small parts on Irish TV productions, and had been a successful theatre star - so when he was catapulted to fame - with the likes of Harry Styles and Kourtney Kardashian gushing over his talents - it was a huge adjustment for the young Irish actor.
