Nobody Can Believe Ageless Wonder Paul Rudd Just Turned 50

Some things get better with age, like a fine bottle of wine… and Paul Rudd, apparently. The Avengers: Endgame star just celebrated his 50th birthday and people have some very strong opinions about it. Both fans and fellow celebs alike have shared their disbelief over the fact that Rudd has barely aged in the last 20 years.

“He’s a vampire. I think Paul Rudd is from Transylvania,” Ant-Man costar David Dastmalchian told Yahoo. “Or maybe he owns the fountain of youth … If you look at my high school versus now, it looks like I’ve been poisoned over the last 20 years. If you look at Paul’s high school photo and him now, it could still be his headshot.”

Director Peyton Reed also had some thoughts, explaining to Yahoo, “Paul is 84, and he made a pact with some dark force at some point his life. It’s sort of a Dorian Gray thing.” On a more serious note, he added, “I think it’s his incredibly sharp, amazing sense of humor and his relatability that have kept him looking so young.”

People have also taken to Twitter to express just how shocked they are that the seemingly ageless actor is now over-the-hill.

1. What is your biggest fear related to the coronavirus pandemic?

   Given mortality rates, I'm scared my parents will die.

   Given what we don't know, I'm scared my kids will get sick.

   Given the economic situation, I'm scared of the financial damage.

   Given the news, I'm scared I'll continue to be cooped up with family.

Thanks for the feedback!

One attributed Rudd’s youthful looks to his positive attitude and open-mindedness, comparing him to 33-year-old political adviser Stephen Miller who looks much older thanks to a “heart filled with racism and hate.”

One young fan went so far as to say that Rudd looks better at 50 than he does at 18.

I’m 18 and Paul Rudd is 50 and he looks better

Another summed it up perfectly with this GIF.

And even Rudd himself is in awe of his agelessness. At C2E2 Comic Con in Chicago recently, he joked to the audience, “I’m 80 years old on the inside. In here, pure darkness… and a little moisturizer.”
