Fans gobsmacked as Normal People star Paul Mescal spotted in local Supervalu and around Waterford

Locals in Co Waterford have been delighted to see Normal People star Paul Mescal holidaying in the area in recent days.

The Kildare man who shot to fame earlier this year has been spotted around the Dungarvan area of West Waterford over the weekend.

One fan shared on social media the shock when she saw the heartthrob walking through her local Supervalu.

Shelly Shanahan said on social media: "I was on the supermarket walking along the drinks aisle getting a few beverages and who but Paul Mescal was standing there beside me. 

"I nearly feel through the floor. I waited until he got to the car park and I asked him could I have a picture. He was so lovely, really nice."

The Mayor of Waterford also bumped into the actor and thanked him for visiting the lovely area.

Mayor Damien Geoghegan tweeted: "Delighted to bump into Paul Mescal out for a walk in Dungarvan this evening.

"What an absolute gent! I told him he was the best Phantom of The Opera I ever saw! He told me he’s loving his visit to Waterford! An absolute gent."
