When comedians talk about any subject, it has a twist of their humor. So when Seth Rogen and Ryan Reynolds saw Paul Rudd bagging the sexiest man title, they did not miss a chance to playfully tease the artist. Paul Rudd is usually known for being a sweet and likable actor with well-adored roles.

But the Friends actor brought out his hotness when he landed on a magazine cover in 2021 for being the ‘sexiest man alive’. Considering that the magazine was for Canada’s citizens, Canadian actors Reynolds and Rudd had to give their two cents, and they did so hilariously.

American actor Paul Rudd was titled the ‘sexiest man alive’ title for People magazine, Canadian edition in 2021. While the actor was surprised to win this title, the public clearly looked at him in a different light. Reynolds and Rudd were quick to jump on the commentator’s ship as they teased him. Reynolds took to his Instagram stories to share Rudd’s picture and wrote, “That’s my right arm he’s lying on.” He was referring to Rudd’s magazine photo, in which he was lying on a pillow, with his toned arms behind his head.

When People magazine took to Twitter to announce the news of Rudd’s achievement, Seth Rogen quickly responded to it by saying, “no arguments there.” A thought that many of Rudd’s fans may also agree with. Now Rogen may not have made it to that exclusive list, but Reynolds achieved that title before Rudd did in 2010.
