Actress Natalie Portman has finally addressed the rumors surrounding her and actor Paul Mescal. The two were photographed together outside a bar in London back in May, causing a frenzy among fans. The Star Wars actress, 43, and the Normal People star, 28, were seen sharing a cigarette and having a good time at The Bar With No Name, also known as Bar 69. As Natalie promotes her new Apple TV series, Lady in the Lake, she was asked about the photos and her relationship with Paul. In an interview with The Guardian, Natalie laughed off the rumors and confirmed that they are just friends. She also couldn't help but compliment Paul's talent, stating, "I'm very in awe of his talent."
It's no secret that Paul is a private person when it comes to his dating life. The actor was previously in a two-year relationship with singer Phoebe Bridgers, but has not publicly dated anyone since their split in 2022. Similarly, Natalie is also thought to be single after her recent divorce from French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. Despite both actors being single, a body language expert has revealed the true nature behind the photos.
According to Judi James, there is nothing romantic between Natalie and Paul in the photos. She explains, "They are clearly enjoying each other's company, but there is a polite distance between them. There are no signals from either of them to suggest they want to get closer." Judi also adds that while Natalie is not flirting, Paul seems to be enjoying her attention and may even be a little in awe of her.
It seems that the two have simply remained good friends following their Actors on Actors interview with Variety, in which they praised each other's work. For those unfamiliar, Paul rose to fame in the 2020 TV series Normal People. Despite his success, the actor has expressed frustration with the public's interest in his love life. In a previous interview with Harper's Bazaar, he stated, "The stuff that hurts is the personal stuff. It's nobody else's business and should never be commented on because it's indecent and unkind."
So, it seems that the rumors about Paul and Natalie dating can finally be put to rest. The two are just good friends and have a mutual admiration for each other's work.
