Outside of his role, Paul looks substantially more fresh faced and clean shaven, however, in another life, he would never have ended up playing the character at all, as the London-born actor was originally set on being a musician. He told The Mirror: "I always wanted to be a frontman in a band.
Not a footballer. Not an actor. Certainly not a policeman or a fireman.
