[@johnmckiernan2176]

@@themaskedman221 Ireland had someone else's monarchy for centuries and you're talking nonsense if you think we would ever accept this ancient and evil superstition called aristocracy as part of our independent country. The whole project of independence was engineered by a secret society called the Irish Republican Brotherhood. The first declaration of independence - the Proclamation of 1916, six years before the fact, proclaimed a republic. Only a republic. We fought a civil war over two things and two things only; the status of Northern Ireland and the idea of swearing fealty to a king *at all* for the first few years of independence when Ireland was technically part of the British dominions. And the latter was just as controversial as the former. To be called a king or queen is a near insult in Ireland. It is equivalent to being called a parasite.

Paul is not just obviously gorgeous, but he has that really joyfull, youthfull glow on him. What a delight.

Love the fact that he is basically eating the whole wing. Down to earth and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously from a star standpoint. Big bites even with Da Bomb. Impressive for a dude that said he doesn't do spice. Love his spice high which was very obvious in the eyes.

Dear Paul, when I first saw you in Normal People, it was impossible not to be captivated by such a beautifully nuanced portrayal of strength and vulnerability. Since then, I’ve followed your career closely-from your incredible performance in the Savior Complex music video to what I believe was the best film of 2022, Aftersun, and other incredible projects. You’ve spoken about how actors choose which parts of their own experiences to bring into their roles, and all I can say is that your performance in Aftersun was breathtaking. I saw it twice in theaters, and both times, it moved me to tears. Your ability to convey so much depth and emotion is extraordinary. I truly admire you and believe you’re one of the most talented actors of your generation. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world-sending lots of love from Saint Petersburg! Dear Sean, thank you for being such a thoughtful and insightful interviewer. You set the gold standard and inspire me with your ability to connect so genuinely with your guests. Keep doing what you do best!
