Normal People’s Paul Mescal appears in the November issue of GQ wearing lots of stylish knits, bold shirts and, of course, a chain.The 24-year-old actor reveals his thoughts on the much buzzed-about accessory from the hit BBC series in the accompanying interview, admitting that he doesn’t quite understand the hype.“It wasn’t something that we put any focus on during filming,” he told the publication. “I think there has been a kind of leaning on the sexualizing of it, which has been a little bit difficult to adjust to.

I don’t really have a response to it, because I don’t know what to say other than it’s a chain, and it’s a chain that’s referenced in the book, and it’s a chain that Connell wears.
