Paul (Soul)
Last Updated on: November 15th, 2024
Who is Paul?
Paul is a minor yet memorable character from Pixar’s Soul (2020), a film that explores existential themes through the journey of Joe Gardner, a jazz musician.
Paul is a self-absorbed, condescending individual who frequents the barbershop where Dez, Joe’s friend, works. He embodies arrogance and is characterized by his smug demeanor, always boasting about his achievements while subtly putting others down.
Paul’s interactions with Joe, particularly during a scene in the barbershop, highlight Joe’s growth and introspection. In this moment, 22 (a soul inhabiting Joe’s body) cleverly counters Paul’s boastful remarks with lighthearted humor, disarming his typically overbearing personality. This scene serves as a pivotal moment for the story, showcasing the simple joys of connecting with others and appreciating diverse perspectives.
Paul is voiced by comedian and actor Daveed Diggs, known for his Tony-winning performance in the musical Hamilton and his work on other projects such as Blindspotting and Snowpiercer.
