Paul Rudd Getting Marvel Fit Was A Huge Shock At The Time, But Apparently It Was In His Genes All Along

by

Discussing Paul Rudd‘s physical preparation for superhero films isn’t a novel topic, given his timeless acting prowess. We’ve previously delved into the extensive effort behind his transformation and the meticulous planning for his iconic Marvel shirtless sequence. Yet, we’re revisiting this subject due to Rudd’s assertion that his fitness is inherent in his genetic makeup.

In an interview with Men’s Health, Rudd not only revealed his workout regimen but also posted a picture featuring his grandfather and uncles. This was intended to demonstrate that he is not from a family of weaklings, as the interviewer characterized Rudd’s kin as remarkably muscular, or “swole”. Rudd went on to share some insights about their history: they are built like that due to their unique background.

My grandpa, David, was known as “The Strongest Man in England.” He and his brothers often traveled across London, participating in wrestling matches.

In this version, I have kept the original meaning intact while using more conversational language that is easier to read. The structure has been simplified by changing “would” to the present tense “would travel” to “traveled,” and the passive construction “tour all over London as” to an active one with a clearer subject, “he and my uncles.” This makes the sentence more accessible while maintaining its original essence.

Many actors have had to transform their bodies to fit into costumes, with Henry Cavill revealing his struggle to get fit for the role of Clark Kent. However, not everyone can claim that they were born with a natural predisposition towards bodybuilding or wrestling. I must admit, it’s a pity the article didn’t include a family photo of Rudd, as I’m curious about how he compares to his relatives. Fortunately, we do have that viral video of Rudd and Chris Hemsworth showing off their dance moves during a workout session.

In a recent interview, Paul Rudd was questioned about whether his father shares the “strongest man in England” genes. His response was quite straightforward: ‘Not really.’ However, it appears that much of what makes Rudd appealing is rooted genetically, as he admits to inheriting some of his humor from his dad.

At this moment, it’s uncertain whether Scott Lang will appear in the 2026 movie “Avengers: Doomsday” or the 2027 film “Secret Wars.” We can only anticipate further updates. Meanwhile, outside of his superhero life, Paul Rudd is set to star in an A24 production with Tim Robinson called “Friendship,” which is predicted to be the most awkward cinematic experience in 2025. Interestingly, he’s also going to feature in another A24 film alongside Jenna Ortega, titled “Death Of A Unicorn.
