And he gave his mother the most unforgettable night out at the Baftas.
He also made her the recipient of his Best Actor Olivier Award.
It should thus come as no surprise that everyone’s favourite Irish hottie also has an amazing singing voice.
Paul receives his first musical credit on the soundtrack of Carmen, which had its US debut today. He can be heard gently singing and playing the guitar for the song Slip Away, which was partially penned by Nicholas Britell, the Succession album’s composer.
‘Don’t slip away, stay with me / Forever like sand on the ocean / Don’t slip away,’ Paul sings soulfully with his eyes closed while strumming a guitar with an earthy backdrop.
Paul displays an outstanding key shift at the song’s conclusion, leading us to believe that he could be really talented.
Naturally, everyone in the world is already enamoured.
‘Is there nothing that this young man can’t do?! Wow! What a talent!! ❤️😍 xxxxx’ one person wrote on Instagram.
Another uttered a similar sentiment, as they said: ‘What CANT this man do???? I’m here for it! 🙌🏻.’
One fan compared him to Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, while another hurriedly instructed Twitter to: ‘stop what ur doing paul mescal singing.’ [sic]
Damn, what a day.
