Actor Paul Mescal has been hotly tipped to win an Emmy Award as his odds have gone from 16/1 to 5/1.
The Kildare heartthrobe has been nominated for the award for best lead actor for his role as aspiring writer Connell Waldron in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney's Normal People.
Punters are also backing the 24-year-old to win an Oscar by 2025 at 10/1 from 16/1, but was originally 33/1 two months ago.
Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Irish heartthrob Paul Mescal has shot to fame since his appearance in the TV adaptation of Sally Rooney's Normal People with plenty of punters backing him to win an Emmy Award following his nomination this week.
"Mescal is 5/1 from 16/1 for an Emmy and has also been backed to win an Oscar, with those chances trimmed into 10/1 from 16/1.”
