The sexiest man alive is one of us
Jewish actor Paul Rudd declared “I’m getting business cards made” after being named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2021.
JEWISH actor Paul Rudd last week declared “I’m getting business cards made” after being named People magazine’s ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ for 2021.
The 52-year-old Ant-Man star, who has been the subject of countless internet memes due to his ever-youthful looks, said he learned of the honour by email.
“I had to read it twice because it was so insane,” he said.
“Even single person I know is going to give me so much grief. As they should – I would. All of my friends will destroy me. And that’s why they’re my friends.”
Despite that, he said, “I’m going to own this – I’m getting business cards made. It’s gonna change a lot. I’m hoping now that I finally get invited to some of these sexy dinners with, you know, [George] Clooney and [Brad] Pitt and [Michael B] Jordan.
“And I figure I’ll probably be on a lot more yachts. I’m excited to expand my yachting life.”
On a more serious note, Rudd said, “When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father. And so I think that because I feel that, I feel like I’m true to who I am.
“We don’t all want to live our lives recognising the greatest moments when they are in the rearview mirror. It’s important to kind of check-in while it’s happening and really let it register.”
Rudd joins a long list of Marvel actors to win the coveted sexy title, including Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper, Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, and last year, Michael B Jordan.
“Michael is still with us,” Rudd said. “He still seems pretty damn sexy. Technically, is he not as sexy as me now?”
