💬 irish📍london 📏5′11″ 🚬 yes 🍃yes 🍷yes 💊no

it's true, the shire got a zara.

i go crazy for...

wit, a good smile, and someone who'll come for a walk and not assume i'm about to abandon them halfway through highbury fields.

something that's non-negotiable for me is...

someone who won't pretend olives belong on everything.

i get myself out of a funk by...

going for a run, getting outside, meeting a mate for a pint, or disappearing into a theatre for a few hours and letting someone else's life distract me from my own.

let's make sure we're on the same page about...

i'm not here for games, but I do enjoy a bit of flirting, a bit of teasing, and a bit of chaos in manageable doses. bonus points if you can survive meeting an irish friend group in a pub.

typical sunday...

long walk, coffee, run if i'm feeling virtuous, pub if i'm not, maybe a roast, definitely music on, and texting someone "you alive?" around half six.

one thing i'd love to know about you is...

what's something you care about that you could talk about for ages without getting bored?

@daisyedgxrjones i don't think i'd be half the person i am, never mind where i've ended up career-wise, without you in my corner. you have this lovely way of backing me that never feels overbearing or showy, but somehow it's always exactly what i need. you've seen me at my absolute best and, more importantly, at my absolute worst, and you never once made me feel like i had to be anything other than exactly that.

you make things feel steady, you know? like no matter how mad everything gets, there's always somewhere solid to land, and for me that's you. i probably don't say it enough, but having you by my side has changed the course of things for me in ways i don't even fully understand yet. and i'm very aware i've been lucky there.

but yeah… you. you're the constant in all of it. and i'd be lost without you, if i'm honest.

paul [dms]: did i accidentally forget to text you back, or are you just reminding me of your existence across every social media app now?| @florcncepcgh

[famepaulm-old]

paul [dms]: did you know there's a fairly cute little flower market on in london every sunday? paul [dms]: i have a feeling you'd quite like it… just an observation paul [dms]: have you ever been, or am i imagining us wandering through it already? | @alyvas

[famepaulm-old]

paul [dms]: you know i always thought you were a cool guy, aside from the whole being ridiculously talented part, but the fact you went to in n out after winning the oscar? that's properly sealed it for me. straight onto the pedestal of coolest man alive paul [dms]: that's right up my alley as well, by the way. i just know you were sitting there thinking you'd had the best night out of anyone in the world, and honestly? fair play paul [dms]: reckon from that moment alone i decided i wanted to be your mate, no questions asked paul [dms]: i mean, be honest… you did have the best time ever, didn't you? | @bjrdn

paul [dms]: i'm not saying i'm intimidated by the fact you're a karaoke regular… but i'm also not not saying it. | @kyliekjcnncr

paul [dms]: i'm trying to decide if playing uno with you would be a great idea… or a terrible one i'd enjoy anyway | @olandriaaa

ayo: every last detail? oh no, you’ve just enabled me... you know spiraling is my specialty. it was so good, like, better than i even imagined. i had a brief “don’t mess this up” moment before hitting the stage, but then everything fell into place and i completely lost myself in it. biggest downside? you weren’t there. devastating, honestly. but you’ve locked yourself in with that promise, so i’ll be expecting you front and center next show. no excuses. ayo: so, what’s been keeping you busy lately? fill me in, mescal.

[famepaulm-old]

paul: and you should know i absolutely love enableing you. always here for a proper little yapping session and to hear you go on about having the time of your life. i eat that up, i really do. i've been hearing nothing but good things as well, by the way… so, so proud of you, ayo. and please, i'm starting to take it personally that my own schedule has the nerve to keep me from getting over to nyc to see it. i'll have my assistant hunt down a little gap so i can sneak out. pub and a couple of pints after are obviously on me, that goes without saying. paul: work mostly, if i'm honest. though i did go and join an app to find more friends to annoy and maybe a relationship that works out, just to add a bit of chaos and excitement into my life, like a sensible man.

you know, every time i think about golfing i start questioning how irish i really am, cause i just can't seem to bring myself to like it. i've tried, i swear. gave it a fair go and all, but it*s just not clicking. feels like i missed some very important national memo somewhere along the way. but what really gets me, right, is how you manage it at all, considering your… complicated relationship with birds. i mean, surely a golf course is basically their kingdom. wide open fields, not a care in the world, just waiting to swoop in and ruin your day. so how are you handling that? are you out there keeping one eye on the ball and one eye on the sky, or have you made some sort of quiet peace treaty with them? | @niallfame

[famepaulm-old]

i was listening to some new music apple music threw my way, reckoned it'd be right up my alley, and this little band called power snatch popped up. thought the voice sounded familiar, but couldn't place it for the life of me. then one quick google search later and there you were, you and your producer started a band and already put a few songs out. it's mad different from what we're all used to hearing from you, but i'm into it, i won't lie. feels like you're on a bit of a creative buzz lately, am i wrong? or maybe you always have been, just feels like you've hit a different stride with it now? are you set on keeping the experimenting going, trying on all sorts of sounds? and is there anything in particular you've been pulling inspiration from lately? clearly your new music has triggered a lot of questions, i hope i'm not annoying you with them. | @hayleymf

[famepaulm-old]

i just came across the trailer for masters of the universe and had to do a proper double take to realise that's actually you in it. nearly convinced myself i'd lost the plot for a second. and then i kept scrolling and, sure enough, there's another trailer with you in it looking like a completely different person altogether… you're like a one-man shapeshifter at this point. all of that has me thinking your schedule must be fairly mad these days, but i'm hoping there's a bit of a holiday lurking somewhere on the horizon for you? | @itsnickgalitzine

[famepaulm-old]

i feel like this might sound like peak overthinking... but if your personality was a haunted house, what three rooms would people have to wander through, and what mildly terrifying thing would be in each? mine's got a room full of unread books quietly judging me, a karaoke machine that only plays the soundtrack to my worst decisions, and a mirror that shows me all the things i swore i'd have done by thirty. | @sophietfms

so when exactly are we gonna be rolling round in sand and dirt again, fighting each other gladiator-style? cause this time, you might actually stand a chance. i reckon i'm in the least athletic shape i've been in for quite a while. also… is this a terribly subtle way of saying I miss hanging out with you on the daily? | @ppscal

[famepaulm-old]

caught bits of the set a while back when you were filming in london for the royal blue sequel, and i won't lie, it's been living rent-free in my head ever since. i'm genuinely buzzing to see how it all turned out… whenever prime video decides to be generous and drop it. are you working on anything at the minute, or are you actually taking a proper break? or better yet, are you sat there like the rest of us, waiting on something to come out from someone you admire? | @therestayzakhar

[famepaulm-old]

i need you to call my mum. sounds like a random request, and maybe it is, but i need you to convince her london's a grand and perfectly safe place for her children to be living, or she's going to try ship the lot of us back to ireland. for context, i made the fatal mistake of inviting her and dad over to visit us in london for easter weekend. seemed easier, more convenient for everyone's schedules… and sure, look. they were treated to a very authentic london experience during this specific visit. so far we have been blessed to avoid that for some reason. and maybe it was just a bit too wild for my mum's heart. my dad found some of it absolutely hilarious, except the one time he almost got his phone stolen. but from a fella fully dressed as the easter bunny trying to hump his girlfriend in the middle of the park, to another lad casually clipping his toenails on the tube… there was truly nothing they didn't witness. and i may have made the mistake of mentioning that someone clipping their toenails on the tube was actually one of the less weird and off-putting things i've seen on there. which, in hindsight, was a spectacularly stupid thing to say and add to the misery. not my finest moment. i'm sure if she hears you promise it was the exception rather than the norm, she'll be alright, and her future calls will have a fair bit less worry in them again. | @daisyedgxrjones
