Wearing a cap and a shirt with sleeves rolled up, he was spotted dancing with pals during a set by US band The National.

An onlooker said: “Paul looked like he used a key to scoop some substance out of a bag which he lifted to his nose and sniffed.

“He did it once then he dipped the key back into the bag and lifted it to his nose and sniffed again.

"Paul didn’t seem to care if anyone could see him. He was dancing and laughing with his friends.”

Paul was seen in the crowd at festival’s The Other Stage before he appeared to sniff the substance.

He was joined at the start of The National’s set by his Normal People co-star 26-year-old Daisy Edgar-Jones — but she left about 20 minutes later.

Paul stayed with pals and was seen dancing and singing at the event at Worthy Farm, Somerset.

His representative declined to comment.

He and Daisy became household names after appearing as young lovers in the hit BBC series in 2021.

Paul won the Best Actor Bafta for his role as shy student Connell Waldron.

He gained more plaudits as a troubled father in the film Aftersun.

And last year, he was named as the lead in Gladiator II, the sequel to the 2000 epic.

It is released in November.

The Sun revealed over the weekend that Paul had been at Glasto along with Daisy and her boyfriend, photographer Ben Seed.
