Paul Rudd shares his food and fitness routine - and what he credits with his 'eternal youth'
Paul Rudd has shared details of his diet and lifestyle in the leadup to his next film – and there's one thing he credits above all else for a 'superhero' body
The 53 year old actor, who was named People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' for 2021, shared his routine with Men's Heath US.
Prepping for his role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Rudd revealed the most important part: "Sleep."

Rudd stated in the interview that sleep came before dieting.
"The most important part of training is sleep. People will set their alarm and then sleep for four hours and they'll get up so that they can train," he said.
"They're doing themselves a disservice."

Talking through his daily routine, Rudd said he'd wake up, have a cup of coffee, and do his cardio prior to eating anything.
He eats a lot of protein per day, including eggs and salmon, as well as protein shakes that are simply "protein and water, no fruit".

"I lift weights, hopefully at least three times a week," Rudd continued.
"And I've learned so much about how my body reacts to foods, how it reacts to exercise, and where I'm happiest and how it affects me mentally."
The man seems to defy his age, simply ageing like a bottle of fine wine.
From Rudd's appearance in the 1995 film Clueless, alongside Alicia Silverstone, to his upcoming Ant-Man film, there's not much difference visually.

As for seeing what everyone else sees, Rudd insisted his agelessness isn't as apparent to him: "I see some things that people are politely not acknowledging."
However, he noted, "I'm certainly happy that people don't say the opposite. Like, God, he looks a hundred years old!"
Luckily, it's unlikely anyone will ever say that about Paul Rudd.
