Normal People actor Paul Mescal has been criticised for a “spectacular error of judgment” after footage was posted of him training in an Australian gym with links to crime boss Daniel Kinahan. Over the weekend boxing company MTK, which was founded by Kinahan, posted a video on Twitter of Mescal training at its Sydney gym where Covid-19 restrictions have been eased in recent weeks. In its Twitter post, MTK Global said: “Great to see @NormalPeople legend @mescal_paul celebrate his 25th birthday with the team at MTK Sydney. Last Monday a Panorama investigation was aired by the BBC looking at Daniel Kinahan and his ties to the boxing world. Lawyers for MTK Global said Kinahan had never owned, controlled or been an employee of MTK Global and he has no links to criminality.
