Paul Rudd's Response to Ant-Man Fan Being Bullied Will Melt Your Heart
Paul Rudd made a bullied fan's day in the most heartwarming way possible. The actor is best known for hit comedies like Clueless and Anchorman, several entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as superhero Scott Lang/Ant-Man, and most recently appeared the Ghostbuster: Afterlife. Along with the fame that comes with being a popular actor, Rudd also has a reputation for being one of the nicest guys around.
Rudd joined the MCU in 2015 with Ant-Man, and followed that up with a sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, as well as appearances in Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame. His Scott Lang quickly become a fan-favorite character in the MCU despite claims Rudd was initially laughed at when cast as Ant-Man. The comedic and often childlike nature of Rudd's Lang has made the somewhat obscure Marvel character into a cinematic success, and a third installment in the Ant-Man franchise, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, is due out in 2013. Ant-Man's popularity is also helped by Rudd's own affable nature, and recently, the actor again proved why he's so well-liked by being something of a real-life superhero to a young boy in Colorado.
