He said: “As we posed for it, she put her hand on my a**.

“I thought it was an accident so I moved away but the hand followed.

“I remember tensing up and feeling just, like, fury. I turned and said, ‘What are you doing? Take your hand off’.”

Irishman Paul added: “It was so gross, creepy.”

The incident was outside the Almeida Theatre in Islington, North London, where Paul was appearing in A Streetcar Named Desire.

But he said 97 per cent of being well known was “really nice”.

He has been nominated for Best Actor for his role in Aftersun at next month’s Oscars.
