Paul Rudd is known for his self-deprecating humor and willingness to commit fully to a joke, and his latest podcast appearance is no exception. During a recent, intentionally NSFW conversation, the actor leaned into a long-running bit that quickly took on a life of its own online.
Paul Rudd does this during a bit about his ‘huge’ size
The playful exchange unfolded on the podcast “Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman,” where Paul Rudd appeared as a guest. The episode revisited a viral skit from the pair’s earlier collaboration. It involved a deliberately absurd scenario where Rudd’s character suffers an on-set mishap, loses his pants, and is dramatically carted away by paramedics. While parts of the sketch were blurred on camera, host Rick Glassman jokingly claimed he saw more than viewers did.
During the latest episode, Glassman told Rudd that his anatomy was “huge” and “hard to miss.” Rudd, unfazed, responded dryly that he hadn’t realized Glassman had even seen anything. The conversation also touched on the viral clip from July that featured Michael Cera appearing as a fake assistant. That moment sparked widespread confusion online, prompting fact-checks to reassure viewers that Rudd wasn’t actually injured. The latest episode leaned into that same tone, with Rudd pretending to still be recovering and playing along with Glassman’s increasingly outrageous questions.
When the topic turned to whether audiences were aware of his supposed “size,” Rudd pushed back in a characteristically modest way. He joked that he’s never appeared fully naked onscreen because he considers himself a “private person.” Rudd further quipped that he has no interest in “wagging” anything around for the sake of a role. He also poked fun at himself by admitting that being well-endowed would have made him more “self-conscious” than confident growing up.
Away from the podcast antics, Rudd remains busy professionally. He currently stars in the comedy “Anaconda” alongside Jack Black. He is also set to reprise his role as Ant-Man in “Avengers: Doomsday,” scheduled for release later this year.
