Kimberley Walsh once said, “I’m so sorry @thephilgriffin, this is the saddest news.” Paul was indeed very special. I’m sending you my full love.

Lottie Tomlinson’s sister Lottie also shared a heartbroken emoji, and Steps’ Ian Watkins wrote: “Devastated. What a wonderful person Paul was. sending [love notes]”.

Most recently, Paul collaborated with Harry Styles to produce the music video for Treat People With Kindness, which won the 2021 VMA for Best Choreography. He once said, “KINDNESS WINS! !

Wow, that’s some great news for wake-up. I’m so happy we won the Moon Man contest! πŸ™‚ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ ;)) ;))))))) Thank you so much for the messages; I’ll get back to responding, probably after a margarita or two. I’m giddy, but we must celebrate. for dancing’s love.

He previously addressed the BBC about how the world was set to begin to burn shortly before the Covid pandemic. The video has such a carefree sense to it, which may be why people are now enamored of it.

Paul has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music business over the course of his 25 years, including choreography for One Direction videos like Best Song Ever and Kiss You.

He stated in a 2021 interview with the BBC that working with One Direction was always very interesting. I was immediately aware that they had a magical side and that they had other skill sets besides being a very attractive five-piece and then a four-piece band.

You had to witness them flourish in their own moments. They would make up some silly dance moves, but I would think, “Actually, if you wanted to dance really well, you sure as hell could do it.”
