On a rainy morning of early voting in Brooklyn in October 2020, this suspiciously unaging Marvel everyman was found handing out cookies to voters stuck in hours-long lines — asking nothing in return except that they stay in line.
The full story
On the morning of Thursday 29 October 2020, during early voting for the US presidential election, Paul Rudd handed out blueberry cookies to rain-soaked voters waiting in long lines outside a Brooklyn polling site, thanking them for voting. Election day itself was 3 November. It joined his two-decade Conan 'Mac and Me' prank in the canon of beloved Rudd behavior.
The clues we handed out
— The cookies were blueberry; the umbrella-holding was self-service.
— He pranked the same late-night host with the same clip from 'Mac and Me' for over twenty years.
— People magazine named him Sexiest Man Alive in 2021; he called it 'beyond flattering' and clearly found it hilarious.
— He gets very small and talks to ants for a living.
— Initials: P.R.
