Paul Rudd: "I Love You, Man" star reveals why he feels 'a little gay'
Is it a strategy to promote film, or is it the truth?
Whatever, but he who said, knows it well. Actor Paul Rudd — whose new movie "I Love You, Man" opened at number two — is quickly becoming a bankable comedy star. He’s also very, easy on the eyes.
Rudd recently revealed in an interview with E! Weekly why he always thought he’d be a really good gay guy.
"I always thought I’d be a really good gay guy. I love American Idol. I watch Antiques Roadshow like crazy. Guys like Oscar Wilde, Stephen Fry, Elton John - they’re all very bright, with a razor-sharp wit”, said the happily-married actor with a 3-year-old son.
"The Saturday Night Live episode that I did was such a gay-heavy show. But it didn’t even cross my mind until after. The family that kept kissing each other - I didn’t even think of that as being gay."
"I remember doing interviews for The Object of My Affection [in which he co-starred as Jennifer Aniston’s gay roommate], and people would say, "What was it like to kiss a guy?" Like it was such a shocking thing. I said, "How many times does anyone ask, ‘You had to shoot somebody, was that weird?’"
39-year-old Paul Rudd added, "I love gay guys. I feel pretty gay. I’m certainly not the most macho guy in the room."
