Paul Rudd followers cannot imagine ‘vampire’ Clueless actor’s age on main birthday

Paul Rudd‘s fans were left in disbelief as he turned 57 on Monday, with several saying he ‘hasn’t aged a day’ in 30 years.

The longtime actor, known for roles in 1995’s Clueless and 2015’s Ant-Man, has earned a reputation for having one of Hollywood’s most age-defying faces.

As he turned a year older this week, one fan wrote on an X Pop Crave thread, ‘Paul Rudd turning 57 is the biggest lie Hollywood has ever told us. Man still looks like he just left Clueless set.’

Another joked, ‘Paul Rudd turning 57 yet looking like 30 is genuinely unfair to every other human being alive.’

Someone else raved, ‘Man keeps aging backwards every day! What’s your secret Paul???? And he’s handsomeeee.’ 

There was also a fan who described the star as ‘the only man in Hollywood who celebrates a birthday without actually getting older.’

As he turned a year older this week, one fan wrote on an X.com Pop Crave thread, ‘Paul Rudd turning 57 is the biggest lie Hollywood has ever told us’ 

The follower went onto declare that Rudd ‘remains the gold standard for aging in reverse’ while other fans branded the star a ‘vampire’ for his staunch refusal to age.

One of Rudd’s best-known roles is as college student Josh in 1995’s Clueless, a role he played when he was 27, alongside Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz. 

The leading man’s youthful looks have also been acknowledged by his entertainment industry peers.

In 2024 Jennifer Aniston wished her friend and former co-star a happy 55th birthday, sharing a clip of them in a scene from the 2012 movie Wanderlust.

She wrote in capital letters above the snippet, ‘Happy birthday Paul Rudd,’ and along the bottom, she added, ‘I love you, you ageless freak.’

Rudd shared his anti-aging secret in 2015, telling InStyle: ‘I am a big believer in sunscreen.’

He added: ‘I’m not one for tanning. I used to be, back when I was rocking the Depeche Mode look. Honestly, I wear sunscreen not to prevent wrinkles but because I don’t want to get skin cancer.’

As for his physique, the Hollywood vet told Variety in 2015 that he ‘basically didn’t eat anything for a year’ in preparation to play Ant-Man.

‘I took the Chris Pratt approach to training for an action movie. Eliminate anything fun for a year and then you can play a hero,’ he said of his transformation.

More recently, in a 2023 interview with Men’s Health, the movie star emphasized the importance of getting a full night’s rest.

‘The most important part of training is sleep. Sleep first, then diet. Then weights. Then cardio,’ he noted.

He most recently made a public appearance at SXSW in March, promoting his upcoming film Power Ballad.

In the John Carney-directed movie, he plays a rock musician who is past his prime and unexpectedly finds himself back in the limelight.

His character forms an unlikely bond with a younger music artist played by Nick Jonas.

The Lionsgate musical-comedy has a June 5 release date.
