Keeping it casual: He looked relaxed as he posed before the ceremony, standing with his hands in his pockets.
‘I thought it was an accident so I like it [moved away] but the hand continued. I remember tensing up and feeling like rage.
I turned to her and said, “What are you doing? Get your hand off my ass.”
“The last thing I want to do is call someone in front of the theater, it’s awkward for everyone involved, but it really wasn’t right. It was so gross, creepy.
’97 percent of [fame] it’s really good, so three percent is someone, like, grabbing your ass.’

Paul became a household name when he played Connell in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel Normal People in 2020 and admitted that he found the attention “a bit offensive” and felt uncomfortable being seen as a heartthrob.
He said: “Like I had this woman who said she had a nude picture of me, a screenshot from the show, as a wallpaper on her phone. And she was mad at me, like she wasn’t doing it to be incendiary.” , I think she was really trying to tell me that she was a big fan, but it felt really weird. I did not like.
“When ‘Normal People’ came out, the attention was a bit offensive.
“I was like, ‘This is fucking crazy.’ Now I’m a little more comfortable with it.
