Fans stunned by incredibly youthful photo of Paul Rudd, 52

A candid new photo of 52-year-old actor Paul Rudd has left the internet reeling, with fans asking one big question: How?

It’s 26 long years since actor Paul Rudd first found fame in the hit movie Clueless … so why does he look exactly the same?
A candid photo of the 52-year-old star in a London restaurant left the internet stunned over the weekend, as Rudd – without the aid of good lighting, make-up or Photoshop – looked decades younger than his actual age.

Chef Asma Khan tweeted the pic, revealing that Rudd and Schitts Creek star Dan Levy had paid a visit to her London restaurant:

Paul Rudd was born in 1969. Paul Rudd turned 52 in April this year. So why is Paul Rudd out here having dinner looking like he could still play college student Josh in a Clueless reboot?

The actor’s youthful appearance has been a regular source of wonder on social media in recent years, but this photo’s different. Rudd’s not on the red carpet at an awards show, he’s not posing for an airbrushed magazine cover – this is just what he looks like in the sort of candid, mid-meal photo most of us would quietly untag on Instagram. What kind of sorcery?

Paul Rudd deniers often say “he does look his age he’s just hot 🙄” and nah I was googling other hot white guys like George Clooney at 52 and they do not have this skin. The fact he looks this smooth in a photo taken by another person in bad lighting like wow https://t.co/cHHqEzkPry
