Paul Rudd, the affable actor best known for playing “Ant-Man,” was named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine on Wednesday, joining the likes of Idris Elba, George Clooney and Bradley Cooper.
Rudd, 52, seemed surprised by the honor, as did his wife.
“I have an awareness, enough to know that when people feel I was chosen for it, they would say, ‘What?'” He told People in a cover story for the magazine.
“She was blown away,” he said of the reaction of Julie, his wife of 18 years. “After some giggles and shocks, he said, ‘Oh, they got it right.’ And it was very sweet. “

Rudd’s career dates back 30 years. He played the kind boyfriend of Lisa Kudrow’s extravagant Phoebe in the television comedy “Friends” and later played major roles in comedies such as “Knocked Up” before playing Ant-Man in the Marvel superhero film “Captain America: Civil War” and later saw her character get her own movie.
Rudd, who has two children, will appear in “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” and in the TV series “The Shrink Next Door”.
Actor Michael B. Jordan was the sexiest man alive last year, following John Legend and Idris Elba in 2019 and 2018.
Rudd joked that he expects his life to change dramatically now that he’s been awarded the annual title.
“I hope now I’m finally invited to some of those sexy dinners with Clooney, Pitt and B Jordan. And I guess I’ll be on a lot more yachts, “he said.
The double special issue of People magazine hits US newsstands on Friday 12 November.
