If you haven’t watched the entirety of BBC Three’s Normal People, then just what have you been doing with lockdown? While we probably wouldn’t recommend watching it with your parents - no matter how old you are - it seems almost everybody has become obsessed with the series, adapted from the Sally Rooney novel.
And with cleared schedules, celebrities have extra time on their hands - and it seems they’ve been enjoying Normal People too (though unlike us, they've probably been watching on very fancy home cinema screens). When lockdown is lifted, we expect Connell, aka Paul Mescal, and Marianne, aka Daisy Edgar-Jones will be invited to some very high profile parties. (Not that we’re jealous at all.)
Here are some of the familiar faces who are just as obsessed as Normal People as we are...
Celebrities Who Love Normal People
1 of 6Katy Perry
Katy is about to give birth, but she's watching Normal People (we don't know if she's watching it with or without Orlando). She tweeted: 'The show should be renamed: "We Have Much More Sex Than NORMAL PEOPLE".' She does kind of have a point, we guess.
2 of 6James Corden
We might know him as Smithy in Gavin and Stacey, but James is undoubtedly one of the most famous people in America. And he had a glowing review of the series. He could not have been more complimentary if he tried. 'Underplaying the impact of Normal People on @hulu has had on me for just a moment. I honestly think it may have changed my life,' he wrote. '[It's] the best show I've watched in so long. [Daisy Edgar Jones] and [Paul Mescal] are extraordinary. It's ALL extraordinary.' They even appeared on The Late, Late Show with him.
3 of 6Andrew Lloyd Webber
OK, so this one was slightly unexpected. Taking to Twitter, Andrew wrote: '@mescal_paul Hi Paul! I heard that you are part of the Phantom alumni, fancy a singalong? – ALW.' Obviously Andrew has watched the clip of Paul singing in a 2012 stage production of Phantom Of The Opera.
4 of 6Jodie Comer
Villanelle herself is a fan of the series, and even though Paul and Daisy have had praise from reams of rich and famous people, this is the one that mattered the most to Daisy. Speaking on Elizabeth Day's How To Fail podcast, she said, '[The celebrity reaction] is something that's been a bit bonkers. Jodie Comer, she did a post about it and that for me was like 'what?!' because I love [her] and think she's incredible, and it's just amazing.'
5 of 6Kourtney Kardashian
America's first family are also a fan of the show, as Kourtney echoed most of our thoughts when she tweeted, 'Need a season two @normalpeople.'
6 of 6Gemma Collins
Loads and loads of admiring fans have been writing complimentary (or just plain thirsty) comments on Paul's Instagram posts, but the GC left a very wholesome comment. 'Loved you in Normal People!!! Fantastic.' Quite.
