Is Anyone A Better Sport Than Paul Rudd?

thumbnail icon: Is Anyone A Better Sport Than Paul Rudd?

Yesterday the world got another glimpse at Paul Rudd's sportsmanship when he was tangentially involved in the Joe Buck/Artie Lang total non-scandal that was totally blown out of proportion for publicity. But Paul Rudd seems to always be game for anything, stupid or not, always willing to risk looking silly, and always quick with an off-the-cuff joke. Another case in point: today a guy who interviewed Paul at the SXSW premiere of I Love You, Man put up a video of himself making Paul recite lines from Romeo And Juliet with him. Even though that request is more than a little silly, Paul obliges, and ad libs funny along the way. Since it's been a while since Videogum has been an official Paul Rudd fan listserv, here's that video.

"Old Vic, Royal Vic, or maybe just some guy named 'Vic'!" World's. Nicest. Guy. (Like I said, it's been a while!)

I knew this post was Lindsay's once I saw Paul Rudd in the title.

I think the real good sport is the dude wearing that wig.
Ol' Trumpy would even "bitch please" that tomfoolery.

I'd totally do that chick in the video.

I somehow get the feeling that this interviewer is not as obsessed with Paul Rudd as Lindsay (or I) to know that - omg you guys, Paul Rudd was in that Blech Lurveman Romeo and Juliet (modern gangsta-style) with Claire Danes in the late 90's.

This goes under my "Paul Rudd" playlist on youtube, along with him and David Wain singing Les Mis and him reading from Harlequin Romance.

Can we get a Videogum Paul Rudd promise?

I'm pretty sure we already have that, except it is called the "Lindsay loves Paul Rudd and will post everything she finds with him in it because she can promise."

Is the interviewer the guy who played Michael Bolton in Office Space?

I really like Paul Rudd...but for some reason, I like him better when he's just being interviewed, or being himself than when he's acting. The only role I've ever seen him in when I really liked him was in "Friends", and I think that was more because I liked the show.

Why do I always find myself smiling like a dufus when I see the Rudd?

I believe if they ever come out with a perfume called Paul Rudd's Nut Sweat, Lindsay will spray herself all over with it. But who wouldn't really?
