Paul Mescal, renowned for his role in Normal People, has been sighted for the first time following recent reports suggesting a romantic involvement with actress Sophie Wilde.
He was spotted in New York City, showcasing his toned legs in a pair of small shorts.
Mescal opted for black shorts paired with a grey hoodie, while seen indulging in a cigarette during the outing.
Speculation regarding Mescal's romantic life intensified over the weekend when reports emerged of him dating BAFTA Rising Star nominee Sophie Wilde.
Allegations sparked after the duo was observed sharing a kiss at a Chiltern Firehouse after-party.
Paul and the 20-year-old Australian actress reportedly developed a friendship last year, frequently encountering each other at various red-carpet events, as per sources cited by the Mirror.
According to a source, the duo appears to be thoroughly enamored with each other, enjoying numerous shared experiences.
Their closeness reportedly deepened following their attendance at last month's B Awards, culminating in a passionate display of affection at a Chiltern Firehouse after-party.
