The award to Paul Rudd, known for his starring roles in the Marvel films “Ant-Man,” “This is 40” and “Clueless,” was announced Tuesday night on CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert “.
The actor says in Friday’s edition of the magazine that some will be surprised by his choice.
“I am aware enough to know that when people find out that I have been chosen for this they will say ‘What?'” Paul Rudd said. “It is not false humility. There are a lot of people who should get it before me, “Paul Rudd said.
But of course, Paul Rudd will not refuse the honor. Jokingly, Paul Rudd noted that he hopes the title will serve him up to “those sexy dinners” with George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Michael B. Jordan, all recent winners.
Among those who received the honor before him are John Legend, Dwayne Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Idris Elba, Adam Levine, Channing Tatum and David Beckham.
“I imagine I’ll be on a lot more yachts,” Rudd said. “I am excited to extend my life on yachting. And I’ll probably try to get better at meditation with very soft light. I like to reflect. I think this is going to help me be more introverted and mysterious. And I’m looking forward to it, ”Paul Rudd added.
Rudd’s first big role was in “Clueless,” a 1995 cult classic starring Alicia Silverstone. In addition, Paul Rudd made his mark in comedies such as the films “Anchorman”, “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “This is 40”, a film derived from the comedy “Knocked Up”.

Paul Rudd, 52, said his wife was “shocked” at first when she told him the news. The couple have two sons, Jack, 17, and Darby, 12.
“But it was very sweet,” Paul Rudd said about his wife, Julie, with whom he has been married for 18 years. “After some laughs and surprise, he said, ‘Oh, you got it right.’ And that was very sweet. He’s probably not telling the truth, but what is he going to say? ”He said.
