“Comedy scares me deeply because I think I saw Bottoms recently and I was in awe of how they do that,” Paul shared with Awards Watch. “That’s one of those I leave the cinema and I’m incredibly jealous and brightened of everybody’s talents involved with that film.”

He added, “But I think in the next five years I’m going to set myself a challenge to do maybe like a rom-com with Ayo or something like that would be cool.”

If you didn’t know, Ayo, 28, is best known for starring in comedies including the hit TV shows The Bear and Big Mouth along with movies Bottoms and Theater Camp.
