"The Dad Who Was Ant-Man": Paul Rudd’s $70 Million Secret Life Unveiled!
Paul Rudd, the face that never ages, could easily give Dorian Gray a run for his money. But if you thought his $70 million net worth was the most intriguing thing about him, you’re in for a real comedy—this MCU star's own son thought daddy's job was at the local cinema!
Not A Cineplex Employee, but A Marvel Hero!
Paul Rudd, as reported by FandomWire, was good enough to keep his Hollywood fame a family secret. "I'm not gonna sit my kids down when they're 3 and say, 'You know, I've got some DVDs to show you," Rudd remarked. "I never corrected him. I think I’m Dad more than I’m Ant-Man, or in the MCU." For 15 years, his son Jack Sullivan Rudd was in the dark about his dad being anything more than the guy who took him to the movies.

The $70 Million Man in Dad’s Clothing
Talk about a spoiler alert! It wasn’t until a fateful movie outing that young Jack finally had his "aha" moment. "We were all going, and there was a movie poster that I was on that was in the lobby. I think when he was 15, he finally put it all together," Rudd told Willie Geist on Sunday TODAY. “That took him quite the time to gather the fact that his dad is not just some normal guy, but he’s Paul Rudd!”
It's not just Jack who is living in blissful ignorance; Rudd’s daughter Darby is also unimpressed by her dad's star power. Paul Rudd emphasized, “They don’t care, nor should they.” In a world where celebrity parents are more eager than ever to push their kids into the limelight, Rudd’s approach is refreshingly down-to-earth.

So, the next time you find yourself charmed by Paul Rudd's boyish good looks and comic flair on the big screen, remember that to two kids at home, he’s just dad—the guy who maybe, kinda, sorta works at a movie theater.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania hit the screens on February 16, 2023. So, who knows? Maybe Jack and Darby bought a ticket just to catch their 'ordinary' dad in action.
