Paul Rudd is a national treasure. He is an incredible actor not just in comedies, but with real depth and ability to pull off any role he takes. He is also now a superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has given Ant-Man, a D list comic book character at best, a real life in Hollywood. He is also a genuinely good human being. He works with countless charities, is tremendously gracious with his fans, and has never let fame go to his head. Needless to say, we are big fans of Paul Rudd. And now, Rudd is able to add a new title to his resume: Sexiest Man Alive!
It is official. Paul Rudd has beat out fellow MCU alum Chris Evans for People’s Sexiest Man Alive. The seemingly immortal actor, somehow free of aging, has been winning everyone’s hearts for nearly 30 years. Now, he can add this trophy of sorts to his wall.
Just to showcase just how humble and wonderful this man is, look at his response to receiving this title:
“I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?’. This is not false humility. There are so many people that should get this before me. When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like I’m that … [My wife] was stupefied. But you know she was very sweet about it. After some giggling and shock, she said ‘Oh, they got it right.’ And that was very sweet. She was probably not telling the truth, but what’s she going to say?
I’m hoping now that I’ll finally be invited to some of those sexy dinners with Clooney and Pitt and B Jordan. And I figure I’ll be on a lot more yachts.”
As Rudd prepares for the press tour for the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife as well as filming Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, fans are excited for the actor and his win. It also showcases that ‘sexy’ isn’t just about good looks (although Rudd is one handsome man). Being kindhearted, caring, funny, and a good person are also sexy, and its about time we as a society recognize that. And Rudd is now part of the SMA alum like fellow Marvel cohorts Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, Micheal B. Jordan and Ryan Reynolds.
In good company, Rudd could be one of the best winners ever, and he did it at 52 years old (again, we’re pretty sure Rudd is an immortal being who never ages). Congrats to Paul Rudd for being named Sexiest Man Alive!
