When we say the cuteness was off the charts on the Puppy Interview set, we're not kidding. I mean, look at this.

To celebrate Gladiator II, we asked Paul all of our burning questions about starring in the new Ridley Scott-directed sequel while we also looked back at his memorable work in Normal People, All of Us Strangers, and more. Plus, we found some time to just ask questions about him that we kind of just wanted to know the answer to.

Starting off, Paul revealed that Pedro Pascal was the one who would always make him laugh while filming Gladiator II, especially when they rehearsed the fight sequences.

He talked about wanting to work with Josh O'Connor, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Andrew Scott again, and he even pitched the type of project he'd love to do with all three of them.

We also had time to chat about what TV shows he's currently obsessed with. And if he could go back and guest star in any show, it would be Fleabag because he just wants to work with Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Heck, we even asked what songs he listens to when he goes for a run.
