London Underground commuters stunned to spot Hollywood star casually travelling on the Tube
The actor dressed down for his TfL trip.
Paul Mescal delighted fans in London at the weekend as he was snapped on the underground.
The Gladiator 2 star shunned high-class travel and opted to commute on the tube on Sunday.
The actor, 29, looked dressed down and casual in a beige jacket with a hoodie layered underneath and a black pair of jeans.
The actor kept a low profile with a baseball cap shielding much of his face and a pair of wired headphones plugged into his phone.
It wasn’t much of a disguise, but Paul looked worlds away from his typical polished red carpet look when he is typically seen out and about.
Despite his casual apparel, the Normal People actor was instantly recognisable by fans as he has been snapped in London several times over the years.
