She added that the items will be available to be viewed on the Vinted site prior to the auction and she expects it will generate a lot of interest.

"He has become a bit of a style icon for sure," she said.

She described the actor as a proud son of Ireland, as well as being an incredible super star.

"We are so proud of him."

She added that he has used his platform and reach to raise awareness for mental health, particularly suicide.

Previously, she said, he auctioned the chain necklace he wore during filming for Normal People, which started a fashion trend, for Pieta during Covid.

She said that he had been very active with Pieta in recent years and it's clear that suicide and suicide awareness is important to him, and he is raising the issues particularly among young men.

"If someone like Paul can encourage young men to seek help, to reach out, to talk, then it's really a job incredibly well done."

She said that more information can be found on the Vinted site or Pieta website, on Pieta social media, as well as information on how to access the auction.
