Paul Rudd, the affable actor best known for playing Ant-Man, was named People magazine’s sexiest man alive on Wednesday, joining the likes of Idris Elba, George Clooney and Bradley Cooper. Rudd, 52, seemed taken aback at the honour, as was his wife. “I do have awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?” he told People in a cover story for the magazine. “She was stupefied,” he said of the reaction of Julie, his wife of 18 years. “After some giggling and shock, she said, ‘Oh, they got it right.’ And that was very sweet.”
