In a 2022 unpublished interview with The Sun Paul explained that after receiving the diagnosis in 2019 aged 40, did he understand why he'd failed to settle down and admitted he wished he'd 'known earlier'. He told the publication: '[ADHD] affected my relationships throughout my life and that's why I'm still single, If you're with someone who doesn't understand you and I'm not understanding myself, it's only now that I can talk about it and I can learn more.'.

Paul said that while he considers ADHD a 'super power' it has also resulted in him 'zoning in' on things that interested him, while relationships with family and friends fell by the way side. '[People with ADHD] can't regulate our emotional mind very well, so we say things without pausing and thinking, whereas most people would have that filter where they think: "maybe I shouldn't say that"'.
