Paul Mescal has shared his delight after bagging his first Emmy nomination.
The Irish actor was acknowledged in the Outstanding Lead Actor category for his work in Normal People.
Paul received international praise for his portrayal of Connell Waldron in the hit show, which he features in alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones.
While Daisy sadly missed out on a nomination, Paul reveals none of the success would have been possible without her.
“Thank you to absolutely everyone in Element Pictures, Hulu and BBC Three. Lenny [Abrahamson, director], I will forever be indebted to you,” he said.
“Daisy, this only exists because you and your extraordinary talent, end of. Thank you for all your beautiful messages. I’m going to go away and cry now.”
Paul is up against Mark Ruffallo, Hugh Jackman, Jeremy Irons and Jeremy Pope, but we have no doubt the Kildare native will come home with the gong.
The 72nd annual Emmy Awards will take place on September 20th.
