Paul then replied: “I mean I certainly would not say no ????”
The news comes after Paul was branded a “surprise style icon” by GQ magazine, after he was spotted wearing his Maynooth GAA shorts in London on numerous occasions.
They wrote: “This summer’s biggest shorts trend is shorts so short, floaty and, well, alarmingly breathable that they might as well be your boxers.”
“Paul Mescal, the hunky alabaster actor from across the Irish Sea, is the surprise style icon of the lockdown summer.”
