Paul Mescal Siblings: Meet Nell and Donnacha Mescal
Apr 25, 2025
Paul Colm Michael Mescal, born on February 2, 1996, in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland, is an acclaimed Irish actor who has taken the entertainment world by storm.
Rising to fame with his breakout role as Connell Waldron in the 2020 miniseries Normal People, Mescal has established himself as a versatile talent in both television and film.
Before his acting career, he was a promising Gaelic footballer, representing Kildare at minor and under-21 levels, but a jaw injury led him to focus on acting.
A graduate of The Lir Academy at Trinity College Dublin with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting (2017), Mescal’s journey from Dublin’s theater stages to Hollywood’s red carpets has been meteoric.
Siblings
Paul is the eldest of three children born to Dearbhla, a former Garda officer, and Paul Sr., a schoolteacher and semi-professional actor.
His younger siblings, Nell and Donnacha Mescal, share a close bond with Paul, often seen supporting him at high-profile events like the Oscars and BAFTAs.
Born on April 30, 2003, Nell, now 21, is an emerging indie folk/pop singer-songwriter.
At 17, she made the bold decision to drop out of school in Maynooth and move to London to pursue her music career.
Since then, she has released singles like “Graduating” (2022) and “In My Head” (2023), signed with LAB Records, and performed at festivals such as Electric Picnic and as a support act for artists like Florence & The Machine.
