Andrew Lloyd Webber
Not only can Paul act, but he can also sing! This talent (which has made fans fall even deeper in love) caught the attention of musical mogul Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. The Irish star has recently engaged in a social media exchange with hailed composer and musical theatre creator to discuss an exciting new collaboration. Taking to Twitter to speak to Paul directly, the musical theatre legend wrote: @mescal_paul Hi Paul! I heard that you are part of the Phantom alumni, fancy a singalong? – ALW." The 24-year-old actor responded, clearly enthused, commenting: "OMG is this a real thing" along with a love-heart emoji. This NEEDS to happen.

Chris O'Dowd
Bridesmaids actor and husband of Dawn O'Porter, Chris O'Dowd also took to social media to praise the show. The comedy actor, who made a name for himself after appearing in The IT Crowd before heading stateside, wrote "If anyone in them [sic] United States needs something to watch, may I recommend 'Normal People' on Hulu. Utterly beautiful." Irish-born Chris then added a hilarious theory on how a second season of the show would go like. "Connell opens his front door to find a tall, weary-eyed local man smiling back at him. It's Connell's estranged father. He is wearing a necklace, two bracelets and an earring and is flanked by his new wife, Beyoncé. Connell masks his surprise."
