The man simply defies the laws of aging. Having been a prominent figure in the entertainment industry since the early 1990s, there is an abundance of photographic evidence showcasing Rudd’s seemingly eternal youth.
During a Clueless reunion in 2019, Rudd jokingly addressed the question of his agelessness by stating, “I’m 80 years old on the inside. In here, pure darkness — and a little moisturiser.”
In a more recent interview with Instyle in 2022, he attributed his youthful look to regular sunscreen use, emphasizing his concern for skin health over anti-aging effects.
While promoting Ghostbusters: Afterlife in 2021, Rudd playfully remarked, “This is all done with smoke and mirrors. I’m a hologram.”

As another year passes by, fans marvel at Rudd’s seemingly ageless visage, with some expressing disbelief at his marriage and fatherhood due to his youthful appearance.
The ongoing debate about Rudd’s agelessness never fails to spark intrigue and amusement among followers, with some playfully embracing the idea of him being a vampire.
So, the question remains: Is Paul Rudd truly a vampire?
