Angelina Jolie 'obsessed' with 'charming' Normal People star Paul Mescal
Angelina Jolie was reportedly "excited" by her quiet coffee date with "charming" Normal People star Paul Mescal, fuelling further romance rumours.
The Hollywood star, 47, is thought to be "obsessed" with the actor – who she was recently spotted with following his performance in A Streetcar Named Desire in the West End.
