Paul Mescal quickly became the internet's boyfriend after his role in Normal People, and has since gone on to assert himself as a bit of a Hollywood darling. Not only was he nominated for an Academy Award last year (his family's reaction was the sweetest thing we've ever seen), but since his breakout performance in 2020 he has landed roles alongside acting heavyweights like Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson and Saoirse Ronan.
In his latest film, All of Us Strangers, Paul stars opposite Andrew Scott in the ghost story/drama/romance based on Taichi Yamada's 1987 novel, Strangers, and the pair have been on a press tour to promote the movie. During one interview in particular, the actor - who made Connell's chain a character in its own right - revealed one of his more unusual relationship icks, and while it's a little rogue it makes a lot of sense.
