Learn How The Four Body Types Determines A Celebrity Body Type Like Paul Mescal
Celebrity Paul Mescal displays his genetic scientific Standard Body Type One (BT1) shape physique/figure while taking time off with family and friends including his 
girlfriend Gracie Abrams. He is showing no real signs of skinny fat (cellulite, thin fat, loose skin, saggy skin, 
crepey skin, normal weight obesity) anywhere on his body. The full development of his vertebrae (posture) and muscles/muscle mass is currently not in debate.
Science recognizes that one pound of muscle burns six calories per day, but one pound of regular fat (white fat/yellow fat/excess fat) and/or skinny fat only burns two to three calories. Which directly affects metabolism (the more skinny fat and/or regular fat, the slower the metabolism) as well as genetic body composition and shape. Having a strong metabolism because of all that muscle and muscle mass, no less, is an advantage that a fully developed BT1 typically offers, including aging gracefully.
Diet, exercise, lifestyle, metabolic rate (BMR), and BMI matter. But so do genes/genetics/DNA. It will be interesting to see how well Paul Mescal successfully maintains his body shape physique/figure as he continues to age. Is he really a genetic scientific Body Type Two (BT2)?

His debut role as the Phantom in the musical The Phantom of the Opera led to his admission into Dublin’s Trinity College’s The 
Lir Academy. He promptly secured an agent before graduating in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts in acting. Subsequently, he accepted an offer to star as Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby at the Gate Theatre in Dublin. His performance was met with critical acclaim.

He most recently stage-acted in the classic A Streetcar Named Desire in both London (2022-25, Almeida Theatre, Phoenix Theatre, Noël Coward Theatre) and Off-Broadway (2025, BAM).
