Normal People's Paul Mescal jogs shirtless in tight white shorts while wearing famous chain

Normal People star Paul Mescal has set pulses racing by jogging shirtless in tight white shorts.

The hunky Irish actor, 24, was seen getting his daily exercise by going for a jog in East London.

Paul was seen out in the glorious sunshine working up a sweat and showing off his toned physique, wearing only a pair of skimpy white O'Neill's shorts and black trainers.

However, even without a shirt, he cannot be seen without a chain on.

His breakout role as Connell Waldron won Paul a legion of admirers at home, with him regularly stripping off for some explicit sex scenes with co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones who played Normal People's leading lady, Marianne Sheridan.

A trademark of these scenes was that throughout, Connell always wore a signature gold chain.

In fact, the chain has its own cult following, spawning a popular Instagram account called @connellschain, which boasts over 157,000 followers.

Naturally then, as these pictures of Paul out for a run made it on social media and his fans were quickly all hot and bothered over them.

One wrote on Twitter : "Those pics of Paul mescal out on his run honestly girls not able."

Another admirer commented: "Ohh my, how am I gonna sleep now after seeing that pic."

Meanwhile, one social media user tweeted: "Oh damn Paul Mescal really is running around London shirtless."

Finally, one concluded about the running episode: "His thighs have truly been the greatest gift of quarantine."

While a large section of the internet thirsts over Paul, he has been busy on Instagram wishing his co-star and friend Daisy a very happy birthday.

Taking to Instagram and posting photos of his friend and their time filming and promoting their hit series, he wrote: "Happy birthday to this LEGEND! @daisyedgarjones you are one of a kind. Have the best day ever ❤️"

Daisy replied with heart emojis and the message: "THANK YOU PAULIO".

Oh, we love these two!
