Paul Rudd addressed the widespread chatter about his “huge penis” during a January 8 appearance on the comedy podcast Take Your Shoes Off with Rick Glassman. The Ant-Man star delivered a lighthearted response to the topic while explaining why he has never appeared nude in any of his films. His remarks came as part of a conversation revisiting a memorable moment from a previous podcast episode.
Revisiting a Memorable Podcast Moment
During the podcast, Rudd and host Rick Glassman reminisced about Rudd’s July 2025 episode, which featured a comedic incident involving actor Michael Cera. Cera pretended to be the show’s production assistant and accidentally spilled hot coffee on Rudd. The clip showed Rudd changing his pants afterward, with his private areas blurred. Glassman joked, “You have a huge penis!” prompting Rudd to respond with,
I didn’t realize that you even saw my penis.
Glassman replied,
It was hard — it was soft to miss.
He followed up,
It was hard to miss even when it’s soft… Do you feel like people don’t know how big your penis is?
Rudd Explains His Choice to Keep Private
In response, Rudd revealed,
I mean, I’ve never done [a movie nude]. I’ve never been naked in a movie.
When asked why, the actor explained,
Why? I mean, I’m a fairly private person, I don’t want to be just wagging my dick all over the place. I’m not Harvey Keitel in The Piano.
His candid comment highlighted his preference for privacy over public exposure, despite the speculation.
Clarifying the Coffee Incident and Its Aftermath
The conversation also touched on rumors that Rudd had been injured during the coffee-spilling prank last year. Rudd joked about the event, saying,
It’s funny, I remember obviously showing up, and I remember obviously our conversation, and I remember the coffee spilling on my face and then going to the hospital,
adding,
There are things about it that I don’t quite remember, that were a little blurry, and I was a little surprised that you posted it,
referring to Glassman’s decision to share the footage publicly.
Upcoming Projects and Continued MCU Role
Aside from his podcast appearances, Paul Rudd recently starred alongside Jack Black in the action-adventure comedy Anaconda. Fans can also look forward to his return as Scott Lang, better known as Ant-Man, in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Avengers: Doomsday. This continuation of Rudd’s role as a superhero keeps him firmly in the spotlight amid the ongoing fan discussions about his personal life and privacy.
