He posted the video in October 2018, but let’s pretend to be surprised that die-hard Connell fans have stalked his Instagram until finding the clip.
Paul captioned it saying: "I love 'a star is born' a lil snippet from one of my favorite songs in it....excuse the dodgy piano playing [sic].”

“My love for this guy,” a third chimed in, and we couldn't relate more!
Paul has done an incredible job of portraying Connell’s character, alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, who plays his love interest Marianne.
Normal People is based on Sally Rooney’s hit novel of the same name, so fans are glad to see that Paul is the right fit for the character they pictured whilst reading the book.
