People reports that the Marvel star enjoyed a relaxing day in the sun on Saturday, Jan. 18, before gearing up for another day of filming. He appeared on the beach in striped blue-and-white trunks and a baseball hat. Later, he was seen wearing a white T-shirt while throwing a Frisbee-like flying disc.
The beachy trip comes nearly four years after Rudd was dubbed People’s Sexist Man 2021. While speaking to the media outlet about the prestigious title, Rudd admitted being deemed “sexy” wasn’t what he expected.
“I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?” he explained. “This is not false humility. There are so many people that should get this before me.”
Despite his rising stardom over the years, Rudd admitted he would rather be home with his wife Julie and two children, Jack and Darby.
“When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like I’m that,” he said. “I just hang out with my family when I’m not working. That’s what I kind of like the most.”
Rudd also admitted his wife was shocked by his “Sexiest Man Alive” title.
“She was stupefied,” he declared. “But you know she was very sweet about it. After some giggling and shock, she said, ‘Oh, they got it right.’ And that was very sweet. She was probably not telling the truth, but what’s she going to say?”
Paul Rudd Previously Announced His Upcoming Film ‘The Anaconda’ Alongside Co-Star Jack Black
According to IMDb, The Anaconda is a revisit of Jennifer Lopez’s 1997 horror film, which shares the same name but with a comedic approach. It follows a group of circus performers on their way to what they believe is a new performance.
However, they end up stranded in a rainforest after an anaconda eats and destroys the boat they were traveling on. In addition to taking on the dangerous reptile, the group encounters a deadly poacher.
Directed by Tom Gormican, The Anaconda will also star Steve Zahn, Jack Black, and Thandiwe Newton.
Rudd and Black announced the upcoming film last month in a YouTube video.
“Hey, what’s up, people, we’re making a movie,” Black declared.
“Guess what it is?” Rudd asked before Black Replied, “Paul Rudd and Jack Black star in the Anaconda!”
Black continued to point out that the film will feature a big snake that is “going to rip.”
“You want to get scared? You want to laugh?” Rudd asked. “Or maybe you’re alone and sad and have nobody but just want to forget about that.”
“Come see our movie, Anaconda!” Black said.
Black then invites Rudd to take a peek at the giant snake in the next room.
“They’re about to feed it a donkey, come on,” Black added. Rudd smiled as he followed his co-star off-camera.
The film is expected to make its theatrical debut on Dec. 25.
