During an interview for the Hot Ones series that aired on Thursday, host Sean Evans jokingly asked the Normal People actor whether all Irish people are friends and added, "If so, what's the best part of hanging out with Colin Farrell?" While trying an array of chicken wings covered in hot sauces, Paul insisted Colin is an "absolute gentleman" but not the greatest at communicating with his pals, "Colin Farrell actually sent me a text a couple of days ago where I'd sent him a text a year ago because he wrote a lovely piece for me in Time magazine."
