IT seems that actor Paul Mescal and singer Gracie Abrams are enjoying some low-key dates before heading to Glastonbury Festival next week.
I can reveal that the pair have been making the most of the heatwave in London by having picnics in North London’s Highbury Fields this week.
An onlooker said: “Paul and Gracie were definitely making the most of the warm weather by hanging out with pals in the park.
“Paul was bounding around the park and clearly loving the long summer nights.
“But it was a bit awkward when Paul forgot his bottle opener and had to ask a nearby group if he could use one to open his drink.
“They looked super loved-up and Paul couldn’t resist taking a picture of the sunset on his phone to capture the moment.”
Gracie is set to play the Other Stage at Glasto next week – and it looks like her No1 supporter will be her boyfriend Paul.
The couple were first linked in June 2024 when they were snapped having a romantic dinner date at celebrity haunt BRAT Restaurant in London.
Their picnics and drinks in the park come after Paul was ordered to lose some muscle and put on some fat for his next role.
Paul will play Sir Paul McCartney in the upcoming Beatles biopic – and The Sun recently revealed the hunky Gladiator II star has been told to go on a Normal People diet.
An insider said: “Obviously there weren’t really gyms around in the Sixties.
“The Beatles weren’t dead-lifting between gigs.
“Macca was always pretty lean and flexible — he has always been really into yoga — but this is a very different aesthetic to that of a burly gladiator, and Paul has been keeping his body pretty ripped, even after filming stopped.
“Sir Paul McCartney is also famously a vegetarian, whereas Paul mainly lives on a high protein steak, chicken and eggs diet.
“There also weren’t whey protein shakes back in the Beatles’ day.”
