Fans of actor-crazy Paul Mescal find themselves at the center of the urban myth that he “picks up women in bars and walks away from them the next morning”: “You can be there for me” Leave anytime!’

Paul Mescal has become an Irish heartthrob after his breakthrough role in the 2020 BBC drama Normal People.

Now fans of the Oscar-nominated actor want to go after the actor after a bizarre claim was made on TikTok that he lets women walk alone.

The 27-year-old movie star Paul is regularly chased through the streets by overzealous women hoping to catch a glimpse of him.

He is also an avid runner and is often photographed jogging with headphones and sweatpants on.

But another unexpected level of intrigue hit Paul when users on TikTok claimed that he picks up women in bars at night and runs away from them as he walks out the next morning.

Users on TikTok claim Paul picked up women in bars in north London at night and ran away from them on his way out the next morning.

According to one story, Paul was walking with a woman when he pointed to something on the ground that she could look at, and when she turned, he ran in the opposite direction.

Representatives for the Aftersun star did not deny the rumors and chose not to comment.

The stories went viral on social media, with women joking that they downloaded the training app Strava so they could track him down if he ever pulled off the stunt.

A video explaining the allegations on TikTok racked up 481,000 views and nearly 60,000 likes in three days, as users speculated wildly about his dating habits.

The creator said: “Paul Mescal, and this comes from many sources, goes around North London begging women for a threesome.”

“And when he comes with a girl, he says, ‘Hey, do you want to go for a walk?’ And then, in the middle of the conversation, he just does it and leaves her in the middle of the park.

The video attracted more than 1,000 comments, with many people on the site claiming to have heard the rumors elsewhere.

One person wrote: “I heard this from people who met him in bars in North London.”

According to one story, Paul was walking with a woman when he pointed to something on the ground, and when she turned back, he ran in the opposite direction.

Another said: “I’ve heard of that too!” “This is the second video I’ve seen about it.”

Many women swooned in the comments section of the TikTok videos: “Take me to North London now” and “You can run away from me anytime, Paul Mescal.”

Creating internet memes about history has become a viral trend on TikTok. People post pictures of themselves at the gym saying they are “training for the Paul Mescal Marathon.”

A TikTok of Paul running in Soho with the caption “Real footage of Paul Mescal running away from me” got 120,000 likes.

Many women vented in the comments section of the TikTok videos: “Take me to North London now” and “You can run away from me anytime, Paul Mescal.”

When he played Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Almeida Theater in Islington last year – a role which won him Best Actor at the Olivier Awards – Paul was known to drink in pubs in Camden and Angel .

The actor was rumored to be a serial dater and in May Mescal was filmed enjoying a drink with a mystery woman at the Cavendish Arms in Marylebone High Street.

In September, he was spotted using popular dating app Raya, whose past users include singer Harry Styles and model Cara Delevingne.

Paul was nominated for People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive award in 2020, and the thin silver chain he wore during filming got his own Instagram account, Connell Waldon’s Chain, with 140,000 followers.
