“Where’s the lie?” Paul Rudd is People’s Sexiest Man Alive and the people have thoughts!

The news of Marvel’s Ant-Man being crowned this year’s Sexiest Man Alive not only has social media buzzin’, but also Rudd as he plans to fully marvel at his newest title despite people who think others should have snagged the title instead.

“I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘what?’ …. . there are so many people that should get this before me,” Paul shared. “I’m going to lean into it hard. I’m going to own this. I’m not going to try to be like ‘oh, I’m so modest.’ I’m getting business cards made.”
