Long before he was Ant-Man, Paul Rudd starred in multiple comedy classics – one being the Steve Carrell-led "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." The actor has multiple memorable moments as the self-destructive slacker David in the Judd Apatow movie, and one of them is the infamous waxing scene with Carell, Seth Rogen, and Romany Malco. Almost two decades after the film hit theaters, the "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" star has revealed what it was really to be in the room when his co-star submitted his body for real punishment.
Filming the scene was about more than the screaming of, “Kelly Clarkson!”, according to the "Clueless" alum. In an interview with GQ, Paul Rudd says that the scene was a one-and-done as Carrell was getting waxed in real life. "The Minions: The Rise of Gru" star’s commitment to the moment set the tone for his co-stars. Rudd explained that everyone’s reactions in the scene were genuine as they watched Carrell get his chest hair ripped off.
