Paul Rudd was in Clueless, 200 Cigarettes, Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer, Our Idiot Brother, and more of your favorite movies. He’s on Parks and Recreation this season, and he’s about to be in the adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. But without a doubt the pinnacle of his career, and his personal life, was recording this advice for you, Rookie readers.

Log in to reply“You don’t want to worry about speed, Racer.”
Log in to replyLol, I’m dying.
Thank you Rookie for bringing him here! And thank you Paul (Mr.Rudd?) (Paul Rudd?) (I hope Paul is okay) to Rookie!
This made me so happy I just can’t. This is the best thing I have witnessed in months.
He’s been my favorite celebrity ever since I saw Clueless when I was twelve. He’s such a great actor! I love him so much (not in a creepy way I swear).
Log in to replyI just watched Clueless last week as recommended by Rookie.
Log in to replyAND NOW HE’S HERE! :D
<333
OHMYGOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Log in to replyHe is possibly the most hottest man on earth. Next to Matt Bomer of course
More like MATT BONER lolololololololol! sorry.
Log in to replyBut Seriously, He’s like the sexiest guy on earth. Just google it!
Log in to replyOh dont worry I KNOW. I was an avid watcher of “white collar” for the first season; that man can pull off a skinny tie and fedora like NO OTHER
Log in to replyMATTHEW BOMER IS GORRRGEOUS. do you watch white collar???
Log in to replyWhy yes, I do. How did you possibly know?
Log in to replyhe looks high.
Log in to replyi’m in love.
He totally does.
Log in to replyMerry Christmas to you too sir. Little late (or early), but never a wrong time to spread some holiday cheer I guess.

Log in to replyWhy, Mr. Rudd, I did have a very Merry Christmas because on that very day I watched Our Idiot Brother, quite possibly the best movie of 2011!
Also, Rookie, I LOVE U
Log in to reply“Ana, from Santiago, Chile” I am amazed to find someone in my city that reads this! What a pleasant surprise. I’ve been reading this site ever since finding out about Tavi in a local newspaper, so my google-fu skills led me here and I’ve been reading it since. I admit this website is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine since I’m not a girl, but I am a teenager though!
Log in to replyGoli! Im from Chile too!! hola! jajajjaja!! que emocion!! :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Log in to replyI feel like all the previous comments added together x1,000,000
THIS IS EMOTIONALLY GALVANIZING
Log in to replyAMEN SISTER
Log in to replyOh Paul, you’re so awkwardly adorable.
Log in to replyOn a side note: Merry Christmas? A little late but I forgive you.
OMIGOSH, I saw his face all faded before this was posted earlier in the afternoon, and I thought, couuld it be? And I thought, if he were on ask a grown man it would be too good to be true, but it’s true! its true its true ITS TRUE IT’S TRUUUUUEEEEEEE!
Log in to replyThis was pretty fun, but I’m still voting for Leslie Knope.
Log in to replyA+. Me too. She would have done her research before answering the boob question.
Log in to replyAGREED.
Log in to replyahhh, this is way too good <3
Log in to replythe real question should have been “would you ever fall in love with a fan? if yes please provide a clear and direct plan for success”
Log in to replyscreaming dying dead

Log in to replyALL MY WILDEST DREAMS COMING TRUE.
Log in to replyTHIS MADE MY NIGHT. God, Rookie is so legit that we can get Paul Rudd to answer our questions. I feel so loved.
Log in to replyAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!
Log in to replyAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! I’m sorry, but I had to freak out for a little bit.
Log in to replyI am just speechless i cant even breath HES SO HOTT!
Log in to replyAw…. he is so cute! I love Paul Rudd. Thanks Rookie again for having gorgeous and smart grown men to answer all of our questions and concerns in life.
Log in to replyfor the first minute or so of this i thought the glass things behind paul were fancy bathroom stalls. i was really concerned but also impressed at the fanciness. after closer inspection, i see that one of the ‘stalls’ is open and there is no toilet inside.
Log in to replyThe glasses. The glasses. The glasses.
Log in to replyR. U. KIDDING ME?!??!?!!
Log in to replysnooze. I suppose he’s cute but I think this only holds charm if someone was previously a fan of his… ohwell. Looking forward to the next ask a grown person!
Log in to replyAgreed. He seems pretty bored, not as excited to see us as we apparently are to see him…
Log in to replyDamn
Log in to replyoh my gosh he makes glasses look hot hot hot
Log in to replyI have a HUGE crush on Paul Rudd. He might not of given the best answers ever, but I agree that the glasses are hot.
Log in to replyBar Mitzvahs don’t count… dying here (spelt it right)
Log in to replyhe is such a dream, oh my god, swoon.
Log in to replySo cute. Could not stop smiling.
Log in to reply“there’s no line of demarcation” lulz, dying
Log in to reply“be nice, be his friend and then…i should’ve had more coffee” be still my heart
Log in to replyMr. Rudd, I love your face. And you too, you’re cool and oh-so-wise. Even if you should have had more coffee. But that’s fine, we all have our days. :D
Log in to replyNo, I can’t fucking handle this nope not happening. Paul Rudd AKA fellow Kansas Citian AKA most attractive Hollywood actor ever and Rookie combined??? I’m passed out right now good godfaisdhgvlixcojnke
Log in to replyOh Paul Rudd. You always know just what to say.
Log in to replyAnd your face doesn’t hurt, either.
OH MY GOODNESS! Paul Rudd just answered my question, AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.
Log in to replyOH MY GOD! paul rudd answered two of my questions!!!!!!! this is incredible.
Log in to replyholy shit, i can’t even
Log in to replyThis is the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen <3 Pistol!!!
Log in to replyHOLY GOODNESS. My life is now complete.
Log in to replyLITERALLY THE BEST THING EVER. EVER.
Log in to replyHoly crap we have the same glasses!!! (O_O)
Log in to replyI love Paul so much…I seriously don’t even care if his answers were kinda “eh” and he seemed bored, I still love him. ♥
Oh dear…swoon! Amazing. Love the glasses. Thanks Rookie!
Log in to replyPaul Fucking Rudd. Awsome.
Rudd+Rookie=Perfection.
:)
Log in to replycryring
Log in to replyperf…i can’t even <333333333333333333
Log in to replyBoobs: “they’re just awesome.” True male perspective. Good job Paul.
Log in to replyCAN’T HANDLE THIS
Log in to replyI don’t understand honestly. How is Paul Rudd qualified to answer these questions? He’s a movie star, living a totally different life than most people – sorry Rookie, not very convincing.
Log in to replyWho cares if he’s qualified or not? They seem like questions anybody could answer, and they’re not overly serious ones a therapist or someone should answer. He is so cool and his face just brightens up my computer!!!! Rookie, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Log in to replyI like using comedians and movie stars because they’re funny and to me it helps to be reminded that boy stuff doesn’t matter as much as it feels like it does.
Log in to replyIs it possible that he looks even better than on Clueless? And he gives real good advice :)
http://fashioninpepperland.blogspot.com
Log in to replyPaul RUDD? WHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT
OMG just had a seizure.
Log in to replyi love you paul

Log in to replythis is actually the best thing ever oh my god
Log in to replyTHIS IS TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH I TELL YOU!
♥♥♥♥PAUL RUDD♥♥♥♥
Log in to replyOh Gosh.
Log in to replyHe’s essentially my Dad’s sense of Humour encased in the shell of a beautiful man. (In a good way?)
Is that weird?
he is brilliant oh my god!

Log in to replyMR. PAUL RUDD, my heart is this way:
Log in to reply<————
OK, BYE.
Paul Rudd!! I just watched 200 Cigarettes a few days ago!! Coincidence? I think not (Or maybe it is, I’m not too familiar with the powers of the universe).
Log in to replyOMG I JUST STOPPED BREATHING AND THEN STARTED HYPERVENTILATING INSTEAD. This is amazingggggggggggggggggg..
Log in to replyHardcore fangirling here….
Log in to replyI love him, and his advice was just perfect
MADE MY WEEK! Thankyouu. Paul Rudd is literally my dream guy I wish I had submitted a question!
Log in to replyI think the fervor of these comments rivals the awesomeness of Paul Rudd’s advice. Seriously, I was trying to nurse a bad day, but seeing all the Rookies so happy makes that impossible. :)
Log in to replyThis is excellent. Paul Rudd is very cool.
Log in to replyi love how he didn’t try to be “all i know all about life” hah (: he’s so cute
Log in to replyIs he hot? He looks like my husband… Now I know why young girls always take pictures of him on their phones…
Log in to reply:O HE ANSWERED MY QUESTION!!! Lool I was thinking to myself I’m in this scenario too, I should listen more closely.. Then he said my name and my heart nearly popped onto the keyboard!
<3 He turned my rubbish day into an amaaazing one! Thanks soo much Rookie and Paul! :)
Log in to replyPaul Rudd. and he’s wearing glasses. I think I just died a little when he smiled.
God I love him.

Log in to replyBoooobbbyyyy Newwwpoorrrttt.
Log in to replyOH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD……….. and just when I thought my favourite segment on Rookie couldn’t get any better!
now THIS is “Literally The Best Thing Ever”!!! I’VE LOVED HIM SINCE HE WAS MIKE ON FRIENDS AND I’M SO INCOHERENT RIGHT NOW asdaflkjslkfhlagjh
Ehm. Okay. Pulled myself together. But seriously, I just wanna give a MASSIVE HUG to whoever had the idea of inviting him to do this. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU
Log in to replyHim as Mike was the best thing ever!!! ahahahh when he changed his name to crap bag :)
Log in to replyOh and I forget to add, I love that Ask A Grown Men always manages to bring out the fangirls on Rookie. I enjoy watching other people fangirl as much as I enjoy fangirling myself :D
Log in to replyI totally dig his Morrissey style! :D
Log in to replyI’m in love with this and I’m in love with Paul and these QUESTIONS omg I just thoroughly enjoy everything about this.
Log in to replyomg omg omg
“You don’t want to worry about speed, Racer.”
I love you Paul Rudd, oh so much <3
Log in to replyI really love this. So much.
Log in to replyPaul Rudd, you beautiful soul!
Log in to replyomg paul rudd. i hope u read these comments so u see how awesome u r
Log in to replyAHHH PAUL RUDD <3 I've had a crush on him since forever. Thank you Rookie!
Log in to replyGahhhhhh I found him hotter than leonardo in Romeo and Juliet when he played Paris
Log in to replyHahaha his answers were pretty vague but it’s alright cuz he was super funny and real
Log in to replyFANGIRL SPAZ OUT MOMENT. ilovehimtoomuch.
Log in to replyOkay… His explanation of why men/boys love boobs is hilarious. So simple… So untrue! Anyway, respect to him for coming on Rookie Mag and giving us insight into the dark and dank caverns that is the mind of boys.

Log in to replyI’ll be honest, Paul Rudd playing Bill in Perks is a major reason I look forward to that movie. Come to think of it, his glasses and blue sweater/shirt combo here just scream “English teacher”.
Log in to replyI think we can all agree on something here: OMG.
Log in to replyBobby Newport doesn’t know exactly why boobs are so great(read like Jerry on Parks and Rec)
Log in to replyOMG i want him aaa this is painfull
Log in to replyomgggg he is extremely attractive D:
Log in to reply:-O i just realized this was on the day of my birthday <3 or at least it was posted on the day of birthday but still :-)
Log in to replyomg omg im ded the tears.
Log in to replyI love you Paul, but maybe you should have prepared answers before recording.
jkjkjk this was bril.
Log in to replysigh–i still love him like I did when I first saw Clueless.
Log in to replyMIKE! My favorite non-main character from Friends! Love paul rudd for life.
Log in to replyThis was amazing! Keep doing it forever, Rookie!
“HELP!” oh god hahaha
I haven’t even watched this yet but I’m so excited because I met him once! I saw him in Grace on broadway and my mom and I hung out at the back door for about an hour until the cast came out, so he signed my copy of the script :)
