Paul Mescal has set things straight after TikTok rumours claimed he would ditch his dates by running away from them. Read more on Grazia.
Paul Mescal might be one half of the hottest new celebrity couple, as he’s been seen getting close with singer . But the Irish actor has had to handle plenty of rumours about his romantic life, and with his biggest role yet on the horizon, as Paul takes on the lead in Ridley Scott’s long-awaitedsequel, he’s only going to be more under the spotlight. Ahead of the role, Paul has addressed *those* running rumours in a new interview.
In case you missed it at the time , let’s catch you up to speed. Late last year, an unfounded rumour that seems to have originated on TikTok started doing the rounds claiming that Paul had developed a rather strange habit when it came to dating and, erm, running. According to the whispers, after spending the night with a woman, Paul, 28, would take the other party for a walk in the park the next day, when he’d point out a bird or a tree, then run away.
Rather sweetly, however, one person who didn’t find the joke funny was his mum Dearbhla. ‘The one thing that upset me was that I was in the kitchen, I remember my mum looking at the videos and she was getting upset. Isn’t that devastating?’ he said. I was like, Oh, it’s funny to us – my brother, me, my sister – because we know that this is the way the internet works. It’s hilarious. If it was true, it’d be fucking bad, but as a rumour, it’s funny.
It’s not the first time a member of the Mescal family has spoken about this. In a recent interview, Paul’s sister Nell, who is a singer, admitted that while she’d found it funny, she struggled with knowing people could just make things up about her uber-famous sibling. ‘We find it really funny, because they’re never true, are they, like… who is making this up?!” she told. ‘To not be able to go, “F*ck you guys, it’s not true,” I find that pretty hard. It makes my skin crawl.
