Paul has won hearts as Connell

The Irish actor recently opened up about the show on BBC Radio 1, and joked about the popularity of the chain necklace that he wore throughout the series - which now has its own Instagram account. He said: "It’s slightly terrifying. I’d be slightly embarrassed if the chain account took over my follower count. But it’s probably going to happen at some time so I better just reconcile that fact, that the chain will always be more popular than I am. But it was a couple of days after the show aired I saw like a little page started somewhere and now it’s like this beast that’s growing legs. I think it’s just so funny coz… it’s a chain."

He continued: "Hopefully we’re doing a good thing for chains all around the world and we’ll see them getting the correct respect that they deserve. We’ve been sleeping on chains far too long in my opinion."
