\n\tBy the time Paul Rudd<\/a> arrived at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts during the early \u201990s, he\u2019d ditched his mother\u2019s gold lam\u00e9 pants but still had a mop of hair plunging down his back, and his sartorial choices hardly screamed \u201ceveryman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis ambition: \u201cSerious acting.\u201d His air quotes, not mine.<\/p>\n

\n\tHanging on his wall as inspiration was a rhapsodic review of My Left Foot, which earned Daniel Day-Lewis his first Oscar for playing a guy with cerebral palsy. He was Rudd\u2019s favorite actor \u2014 \u201cStill is,\u201d he says \u2014 and, having watched the film, he was convinced that that was \u201cexactly the kind of actor\u201d that he wanted to be.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut as graduation neared, Rudd was invited to sit down with a Hollywood agent. \u201cI wanted to be this dangerous, brooding, incredible actor \u2026 then I have this meeting and she says, \u2018You\u2019re going to need to cut your hair,\u2019 \u201d he recalls. He was incredulous at the time. \u201cShe goes, \u2018Well, you\u2019re not an edgy guy, you\u2019re more of an all-American type, and they\u2019re going to want you clean-cut.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh my God, that is not who I am. That\u2019s the last thing I want to hear.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tAt 57, Rudd has come to terms with who Hollywood wants him to be. In fact, he has built a long and successful career being that guy. And though he\u2019s found ways to spackle in considerably darker roles onstage, to which he\u2019s retreated whenever he can, his goofy, good-guy charisma has fueled three decades\u2019 worth of rom-coms (Clueless), R-rated comedies (I Love You, Man) and, most recently, a lengthy spin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He\u2019s been called the \u201cMSG of actors\u201d by The New York Times, which noted: \u201cYou can add Rudd to any movie, and the movie will taste better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis next project, Power Ballad<\/a>, from Sing Street\u2018s John Carney, is arguably a departure. Out June 5, the film stars Rudd, opposite Nick Jonas, as an aging musician who never got the rock-star life or career that his younger self had envisioned. Instead, he met his wife, had a child and settled in as the lead singer of The Bride & Groove \u2014 \u201cIreland\u2019s grooviest wedding band,\u201d according to the decal on their van. Rudd took the role in part because he identified with the wistful character.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m completely like what people might think I\u2019m like. I\u2019m not just a happy-go-lucky dude,\u201d he says, then grows quiet.<\/p>\n

\n\tI press for more.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWell, I can get pretty depressed,\u201d he offers, tentative at first. \u201cBut we\u2019re all multi-dimensional, right? We all feel things deeply. We all get pretty sad about stuff. We all have those moments where you wake up at 3 in the morning and your mind is racing and it\u2019s the noise of the world and your life and \u2018How am I going to get on with all of this?\u2019 I feel that, too. I just don\u2019t ever talk about that in interviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNow that he\u2019s started, however \u2026<\/p>\n

\n\tOn this early May afternoon, Rudd is meeting me at a diner in his Brooklyn neighborhood. He\u2019s just back from a few days without his phone, which was purely accidental, he says, but liberating nonetheless. I arrive first and ask the ma\u00eetre d\u2019 which seat Rudd would prefer, to which he laughs. \u201cOh, Paul sits anywhere,\u201d he says, the implication subtle but clear: He\u2019s not \u201cMovie Star Paul Rudd\u201d here.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe truth is, Rudd ditched L.A. for the sort of regular-guy existence that New York affords right after making Clueless during the mid-\u201990s. As far as his reps were concerned, it was an astonishingly stupid career move. By the time the coming-of-age comedy captured the zeitgeist and minted Rudd a thinking-girl\u2019s heartthrob in the summer of 1995, he\u2019d already turned his attention to a stage production of The Last Night of Ballyhoo. Suddenly, he was 3,000 miles from Hollywood and utterly unavailable. \u201cMy agent was like, \u2018What the fuck are you doing?\u2019 \u201d he says, \u201cbut I was so excited. I was 25 or 26, and I was about to be on Broadway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt wasn\u2019t even the first time that he\u2019d left his reps baffled by his choices. Rudd had landed a recurring role on the popular drama series Sisters a few years before Clueless, then bailed to study classic English drama at Oxford. \u201cIt was my first real acting job, and my agent thought I was insane for leaving then, too,\u201d says Rudd. \u201cHonestly, everyone was like, \u2018You\u2019ve actually got a job, and now you\u2019re going to go back to school to learn to do something to hopefully get a job?\u2019 \u201d But he wasn\u2019t thinking in those terms. Rudd was focused on developing the skills that he\u2019d need for what would hopefully be a long career. All of his heroes had formal training, and he intended to follow in their footsteps.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was also very aware of what I liked and what I found to be moving, so I was looking through the lens of, like, \u2018Is this something Tom Waits would find cool? Is this something Elvis Costello would do?\u2019 \u201d he says. \u201cBut as a career goes on, and you age and get more successful, that lens gets cloudier.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBetween whatever lighthearted comedy Rudd was the face of, he\u2019d work in a play from Neil LaBute or someone else. He loved the tight-knit community and the credibility that the theater provided. \u201cPeople took you a little more seriously, like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re not one of those guys who just lives in L.A. and wants to get famous,\u2019 \u201d he says. \u201cAnd my favorite thing about doing a play, and I used to do one a year, was that it felt so far away from the movie industry and it was really connecting to what it was that I loved about this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPlus, he didn\u2019t have to play the everyman onstage. He was portraying an irresponsible, womanizing alcoholic in a West End production of Long Day\u2019s Journey Into Night 25-plus years ago when he met his dear friend Olivia Colman. \u201cThat this gorgeous, kind, affable person could play against type wasn\u2019t a surprise to me,\u201d she says of Rudd, who\u2019d regularly crash on the floor of her \u201cshitty flat in South London\u201d during that period. \u201cBut the theater\u2019s always been much more able to see past the hello you give when you walk through the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn those days, Rudd was equally clear on what he didn\u2019t want to do, which included things like pilot season, the annual ritual where hundreds of actors descend on L.A. to try out for the year\u2019s new crop of TV shows. He wasn\u2019t interested in the exercise, nor was he eager to get on a series. \u201cI was terrified of landing something that might be visible,\u201d he says, \u201csomething that might pigeonhole me and make me famous before I really knew enough to be able to sustain a career.\u201d He spent the entirety of his early \u201990s run on the Fox sitcom Wild Oats scared to death it would become a hit. (Spoiler: It lasted only four episodes.) With hindsight, he says he\u2019s grateful for the experience, mostly because it taught him what he didn\u2019t want out of his career.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI look back at that kid who was like, \u2018No, I\u2019m moving to New York and turning down these job offers\u2019 \u2014 my God, I would even audition for things, get them and then be like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if I want to do that\u2019 \u2014 and I\u2019m envious of the clarity that I had then,\u201d says Rudd, who found other ways to pay rent, including a stint as a bar mitzvah DJ. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t have dependents then. My life and considerations were very different.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor years, the lock screen on Rudd\u2019s phone was the 20th Century Fox logo with the swirling spotlight and, in place of the studio name, three simple words: \u201cNo One Cares.\u201d It served as his reminder not to take any of this too seriously: the gig, the upset, the competition. \u201cNinety-nine percent of the world doesn\u2019t give a fuck about the movie industry anyway,\u201d he says. \u201cThey don\u2019t even see these things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the same time, Rudd has been chasing one form of acceptance or another for as long as he can remember. He believes it began when his younger sister was born, and suddenly he was vying for the attention of his ad industry mom and airline executive dad. \u201cI realized if I could do a little dance or something, they\u2019d say, \u2018Oh, look at our kid!\u2019 and I liked that, so I just kept doing it,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what I\u2019m still doing \u2014 it has nothing to do with \u2018the craft\u2019; you\u2019re just doing whatever you can to get people to like you and say, \u2018You\u2019re cute, you\u2019re funny, you\u2019re doing a good job.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs the new kid in Kansas City, Kansas, and arguably the only one in class with British-born Jewish parents, Rudd found that humor was the quickest route to acceptance. By the time he moved to L.A. for acting school, he\u2019d added other colors. Adam Scott, who was two years behind him, insists that everyone there seemed to understand that Rudd was poised for stardom, and not just because he\u2019d landed a Nintendo commercial right out of school, though that was a big deal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was at the premiere of Clueless out in Malibu with him, and it comes up on this big screen on the beach, and immediately I was like, \u2018Oh, Paul\u2019s going to be a famous person now,\u2019 \u201d says the Severance star, who remains one of Rudd\u2019s closest friends. \u201cAnd sure enough, everything changed after that.\u201d The velvet ropes parted. \u201cSuddenly, we could just walk into any bar. It was like, \u2018Whoa, what the fuck is going on? This is incredible.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite its impact on his career, Rudd didn\u2019t fight for his role in Clueless. In fact, he was considerably more interested in playing Cher\u2019s clearly gay love interest, Christian, or Dionne\u2019s boyfriend, Murray. He hadn\u2019t realized the latter was written as a Black character. As for the former: \u201cI remember reading it, like, \u2018Wait a minute, this is a gay character, who\u2019s also the coolest character in the movie? I\u2019ve never seen this before and it\u2019s the most interesting part,\u2019 \u201d he says. The director, Amy Heckerling, let him read for that role as well as for Cher\u2019s older, nerdier, ex-stepbrother turned love interest, Josh, which is the one he landed. \u201cBut after the audition was done,\u201d he says, \u201cI was not on the phone with my agents, like, \u2018Did I get it? Did I get it?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt would be several more years before Rudd found a film that spoke to his sensibilities, which happened with Wet Hot American Summer. \u201cI know Clueless was funny, but this was my kind of funny,\u201d he says of the 2001 entry, a parody of \u201980s-era summer camp and teen sex comedies. He felt it the minute he read the script, and his instincts were validated when he arrived at an actual summer camp to make the movie with a group that included Amy Poehler, Bradley Cooper and Molly Shannon.<\/p>\n

\n\tWet Hot didn\u2019t hit the way Clueless had, but it led to more comedies, including Anchorman, which Rudd says he obsessively chased in a way he\u2019d never chased anything before. He didn\u2019t even care what role he landed in the irreverent Will Ferrell comedy, so long as he was part of the cast. \u201cI don\u2019t really fight for many things,\u201d says Rudd, \u201cbut I was a nuisance in my desperation to be part of that, and at a certain point I think I just wore them down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIf Clueless made Rudd a heartthrob, Anchorman secured his spot in what became comedy\u2019s new Brat Pack, alongside actors like Steve Carell, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. (\u201cI\u2019m not the one people are really talking about,\u201d Rudd argues, \u201cbut it\u2019s like I\u2019m always kind of there.\u201d) Judd Apatow, the pack\u2019s unofficial leader, was so charmed by Rudd \u2014 who, he says, \u201chas this ability to play it completely straight and it can be rough and even heartbreaking but also really funny at the same time\u201d \u2014 that he put him in his feature directorial debut, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, which came out the following summer. Apatow\u2019s only request was that Rudd put on weight for the role. \u201cI told him, \u2018If you\u2019re gorgeous, I don\u2019t think it works as well,\u2019 but then a week [into filming,] the studio had a bunch of notes and one of them was, \u2018Why is Paul Rudd so overweight?\u2019 \u201d Translation: Rudd is allowed to be funny, so long as he still looks like Josh from Clueless.<\/p>\n

\n\tMore cult comedies followed: Knocked Up, I Love You, Man and Our Idiot Brother among them. Hard-R laughs was not exactly the path that Rudd envisioned for himself, but he was having a blast. In fact, he just kept saying yes to the next project, and then the next one, and suddenly comedy was his lane. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not like I had all these job offers for that serial killer part,\u201d he jokes. \u201cSo, maybe that agent was right. Maybe I don\u2019t have any edge and this is what I was meant to do. But it\u2019s also weird \u2014 sometimes with comedy, it\u2019s looked at as a little more frivolous than the important movies and the important actors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDoes that ever bother him?<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNah, I made peace with that a hell of a long time ago,\u201d he says. \u201cI don\u2019t give a shit.\u201d He stops himself. Pauses. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t say that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother pause. \u201cI mostly don\u2019t give a shit.\u201d Then, the hint of a smile: \u201cPart of me gives a shit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn case this isn\u2019t obvious, a Marvel superhero was never on Rudd\u2019s vision board. In fact, he still finds it a tad absurd that he, the self-described \u201cavatar for averageness,\u201d was cast as one, though Marvel boss Kevin Feige insists he had everything that Ant-Man<\/a>, a wisecracking thief turned reluctant hero, required. \u201cWe needed this guy to be a criminal but also someone that you\u2019re rooting for no matter what, and that\u2019s Paul,\u201d says Feige. \u201cHe\u2019s also funny and good-looking and unbelievably charismatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, Rudd says he didn\u2019t sign on because he was eager to be in a Marvel movie. \u201cFor me, it was the Edgar [Wright] angle,\u201d he says. At the time, the British auteur was attached to direct the film, which he\u2019d been developing for years already. \u201cAnd I was excited, like, \u2018You mean the Shaun of the Dead guy is doing this and he wants me to be in it? OK, this I can do \u2014 this is my lane.\u2019 Then it obviously changed, pre-preproduction, but that was the overriding thought I had.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRather than drop out with Wright \u2014 which, per Feige, had been a very real concern \u2014 Rudd not only stuck with the project but recruited his Anchorman director, Adam McKay, to help him do a pass on the script. \u201cThe thought I had was, \u2018If this can be a thing that really works and people see it, maybe it will help me get some interesting, smaller things financed and I can have a little more control over what comes after it,\u2019 \u201d says Rudd. His only prior experience with anything of that scale and global reach was playing Phoebe\u2019s boyfriend on Friends, but he was simply a recurring guest star then.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the first time in Rudd\u2019s life, he had to get into Marvel shape, which meant \u201ccutting out anything enjoyable,\u201d diet-wise, and a punishing exercise regimen. The results played into a popular narrative that Rudd seems to be aging in reverse. \u201cI\u2019m beginning to look like I could be his mum,\u201d says Colman, who\u2019s five years his junior. \u201cIt\u2019s really fucking annoying, and he won\u2019t share his secrets.\u201d (Rudd insists he has none: \u201cI\u2019m a withering 80-year-old man on the inside,\u201d he jokes, \u201cand I\u2019m catching up on the outside, too.\u201d)<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat Rudd hadn\u2019t anticipated was the degree to which the next decade of his life would be spent either making or promoting a Marvel film. His first foray as Ant-Man led to two more stand-alone films and three Avengers movies, including the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday, where Feige says he plays \u201cmore of an elder statesman now, dealing with other newer characters.\u201d Ant-Man even has his own theme park attraction at Hong Kong Disneyland. Rudd was there, alongside Feige, for its opening.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs he had hoped, he has been able to get other things made. Sure, there were more big studio franchise swings, including a pair of Ghostbuster films. (\u201cLife is sometimes just collecting experiences,\u201d he says.) But he\u2019s also put his muscle behind smaller projects, including a few A24 films (Friendship, Death of a Unicorn), along with Mute, a Duncan Jones sci-fi drama that he did largely because he finally got to play a deeply menacing character. Some worked better than others, though Rudd is way too nice to start rattling off the ones that he regrets.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think Tina Fey said it best when she was like, sometimes you do something and you thought the script was great and it really works and then you\u2019re watching it, and all of a sudden the credits come up, and you go, \u2018Wow, that one shrunk in the wash,\u2019 \u201d he says, and shrugs: \u201cI\u2019ve been in several things that have shrunk in the wash.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOur waiter has just come by to pour a fresh cup of black coffee, Rudd\u2019s third in as many hours. He\u2019ll pay for the caffeine blast later, but he\u2019s between projects right now and has nowhere to be, which seems to genuinely thrill him. For someone who works as much as Rudd does, he\u2019s quite content not working.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe height of joy for me is having everyone I love under the same roof, maybe taking a walk around this amazing city, and then getting into bed at 8 or 9 at night and watching Antiques Roadshow with my wife,\u201d he says, and he laughs: \u201cI mean, my God, people don\u2019t think I age? Listen to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNow that his kids are grown \u2014 his daughter, Darby, is 16, his son, Jack, is 21 \u2014 he is planning to do another play, his first in more than a decade. Rudd had stopped when life got busy, and his kids, who were young at the time, took issue with their father\u2019s absence. In fact, he can still conjure the heartbreaking look on his daughter\u2019s face as she\u2019d asked, \u201cDaddy, do you really have to go back to the theater again tonight?\u201d And now? \u201cOh, now she\u2019d be like, \u2018I don\u2019t give a fuck, I\u2019ve got homework,\u2019 \u201d says Rudd.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut before a play or any other project, he\u2019s got to get out the word for Power Ballad. He had a ball making the movie; it\u2019s this part, the selling of it, that doesn\u2019t come naturally, or even comfortably. It all feels so inauthentic, which makes him crazy. \u201cI really just want to be a respected actor,\u201d he says. \u201cI want people to think that I\u2019m good. I want to be in things that people think are cool. I want to be the kind of actor that were always my favorite actors growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSo, I ask, does he feel that he\u2019s achieved that?<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he says, pausing again. \u201cI don\u2019t dwell on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs he was making Power Ballad, Carney says it became clear: \u201cPaul really doesn\u2019t consider himself a big movie star \u2014 he considers himself a jobbing actor who just happens to have that face.\u201d But, as the director notes, it was only once Rudd signed on to the project that other actors got interested, the money suddenly got released and the Irish Film Board came on board. He is, whether he can see it or not, the draw.<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, Carney empathizes. \u201cThere\u2019s a version of each of us out there that didn\u2019t quite work out the way the weird, policing 20-year-old version of ourselves thought,\u201d he says. \u201cI mean, any time I get called a \u2018crowd-pleasing film director,\u2019 my 20-year-old self goes, \u2018What happened? I thought you were going to be Jean-Luc Godard.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

\n\tApatow caught an early screening of the movie, and in addition to being impressed by Rudd\u2019s musical talent \u2014 yes, that\u2019s really him singing and playing the guitar, which, per Jonas, \u201cfelt effortless and excellent from the first day on set\u201d \u2014 he was thrilled by the dramatic opportunity that the role offered his pal. \u201cWhen you watch it, you feel the entire history of frustration of this performer, and Paul\u2019s great at carrying that pain,\u201d says Apatow. \u201cSo, sure, he can do all the lighter colors, but, like so many great comedians, we sense that there\u2019s more going on there, and the darker sides of his personality are what make him fascinating to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite glowing reviews, it\u2019s impossible to predict whether anyone will go see Power Ballad in theaters, which is less a commentary on the film than it is the increasingly fragmented state of the entertainment industry. Regardless, it\u2019s the kind of movie that Rudd wants in the world right now. \u201cI just want to feel fucking hopeful, and the thing I love about John Carney\u2019s films is that you come away from them, like, \u2018God, that was a really emotional ride and it moved me,\u2019 \u201d he says. \u201cBut there\u2019s also joy in it, and I\u2019m seeking that out more now than ever before because of the crushing weight of everything else that is so overwhelmingly shitty.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe looks up from his coffee cup. \u201cI do want to be optimistic. I do want to laugh. I do want to not be serious about certain things,\u201d he says, and then stops himself. He smiles. It\u2019s almost as if Paul Rudd wants to be the guy that you think he is, too.<\/p>\n
