Angelina Jolie was spotted hanging out with Paul Mescal. The two were spotted having coffee together in London. Previously, Jolie was spotted attending “A Streetcar Named Desire,” the play where Mescal played the role of Stanley Kowalski, one of the most famous parts in theater and film.

While Jolie was accompanied by her daughter Shiloh, a lot of people are speculating that she and Mescal might be engaged in a relationship. And while it’s unlikely that the two were on a date (it might have been a meeting to work together in the future), it is true that Mescal has been on everyone’s minds lately, especially following his rumored break-up with Phoebe Bridgers. So who is Paul Mescal?

He is an Irish actor

In 2020, Mescal became an overnight star thanks to his performance in the TV show “Normal People.” Mescal starred as Connell, a thoughtful and good-looking guy who’s involved in a relationship that spans years with his high school friend Marianne.
