Mescal, who is currently living in London, said that he had been using dating app Hinge the week before Normal People came out, but that he stopped because he "didn't like it anyway."
He added that although he enjoys the attention he has been getting since the show started airing, he is conscious that fans will see him only as Connell and not as himself.
"I'm not Connell, I'm totally different to him," he said. "Maybe what's sexy about Connell is he's that kind of classic back footed, aloof, smart... I'm definitely not back footed or aloof.
"It was kind of fun at the start, I was like 'Oh, this is mad, people think that Connell's sexy.' A weird thing has crept in where people DM and there's a feeling that maybe there's an anticipation that I'm him.
"This is for the record: if anyone ever dates me, I am not Connell and nor do I want to be him."
