Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Paul Mescal has been in the limelight since the release of Normal People and now he is being backed to be judged the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’.”

“He has come a long way since his Denny sausages advert and after his photoshoot in the Kildare GAA shorts, punters have backed him into 25/1 from 66/1 to be added to the list that includes the likes of Brad Pitt and David Beckham.”

The 24-year-old, who hails from Maynooth, shot to fame back in May – thanks to his role as Connell in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel Normal People.
