Multi-talented actor, model, and social media influencer Paul Forman has gained a massive fan following post his appearance in the third season of ‘Emily in Paris’ as Nicolas de Leon Paul, the handsome hunk AKA crown prince of his family’s powerful conglomerate, JVMA. Forman is a stunning young actor who made his acting debut in 2018 in a short film titled ‘Dreams.’
Though the actor is still in his budding days, he has given compelling performances as King Francis in a historical period drama, ‘The Spanish Princess,’ which made him quite popular. He also garnered attention with his appearances in the Austrian psychological drama film, ‘Nevrland,’ a British thriller, ‘Seagull,’ ‘Riches,’ and ‘Frank of Ireland.’ As Paul further comes into the spotlight as an actor, leaving aside his multiple other talents, including modeling, his fans must be curious to know more about him, especially his personal life, and here’s everything we found out!
Paul Forman is a French Native With an English Upbringing
Paul Forman was born on March 16, 1994, to French parents in the Southern France Region in France. Though Paul originally hails from France, he grew up and spent most of his days in England. The hunk is rather shy and private when it comes to his family and early life, as he has refrained from sharing any personal details about his early life. Despite having a passion for modeling, Paul always knew in his heart that he wanted to pursue acting as his career alongside modeling.
Paul attended the Lyceé Francais Charles de Gaulle in London, then Cardiff University, where he pursued a BA in Mathematics. He enrolled in Drama Studio London, where he participated in various performances, including his first stage performance at Grange Court Theatre, where he played Romeo in ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ After his last stage performance as John in ‘Holding the Man,’ the sculpted star found his calling and went ahead with his on-screen career with his debut performance in ‘Dreams’ in 2017. As a model, he has worked with famous brands such as Versace and L’Officiel Hommes.
Paul Forman is Happily Involved With His Co-Star
When it comes to sharing details of his personal life, Paul Forman does an excellent job at keeping it under wraps. So, there have even been rumors that this ‘Emily in Paris’ star may be closeted. On several occasions, he has been spotted posting selfies with men who could be his partner or his friend. In fact, one of his captions in a now-deleted post on his social media account read, “Reunited with bae.” However, he has never explicitly labeled himself, and all we know is that he is currently in a very happy, healthy relationship with his Netflix co-star, Ashley Park.
Ashley Park is none other than Mindy Chen in ‘Emily in Paris,’ Paul’s love interest in season 3, indicating it was likely their on-screen romance that helped them get together in reality too. After all, from what we can tell through their social media platforms, even though they went public with their relationship in January 2024, they’d begun officially dating more than a year prior. Since then, they have stuck by each other through thick and thin – whether it be them traveling the world together or dealing with medical emergencies, they’ve done it all. In other words, Paul and Ashley seem to truly be head over heels in love, and we can’t wait to see what’s next for them together as a couple.
