In Aftersun, Paul plays a struggling father who tries to take his young daughter, played by Frankie, on vacation.
Last month it was revealed that Paul and Frankie went on vacation together before filming.
The movie’s producer, Amy Jackson, recently attributed the couple’s special bond to the fact that they went on vacation together before filming the movie.
She said, “A fortnight passed before filming at a resort: at the pool and eating ice creams, playing pool and getting to know each other.”
“It’s a testament to Paul – he’s a very warm person and he appreciated that this was Frankie’s first acting role.”
Paul recently received rave reviews for his compelling performance as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Almeida Theater in North London.
The show wrapped earlier this month, but will be playing in the West End at the Phoenix Theater starting March 20.
Last month, Paul broke his silence about his breakup with musician Phoebe Bridgers, 28, to whom he was rumored to be engaged.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, where he appeared on the cover, the actor finally addressed the end of their public relationship, after rumors began to spread about their possible separation in December.
Asked if he would ever bring up the subject of their split, Mescal said, “Maybe at some point.” But not now. It’s just tough territory. Yeah.’
Mescal, an avowed fan of Bridgers before their first meeting, began dating the talented musician in 2020, shortly after the notable BBC drama Normal People made him a household name.
