Paul Rudd: Things Fans Might Not Know - Looper
Before he became a star, Paul Rudd took a variety of odd jobs to get by, and some of them were quite unusual indeed. For a while, Rudd moonlighted as a DJ, and if you're imagining something like Skrillex or Zedd, think smaller. If you're thinking of the guy spinning records at weddings, think even smaller than that. Rudd's DJ career was strictly kids' stuff, literally — it was all birthdays and bar and bat mitzvahs, the ceremonies that induct 13-year-old Jewish kids into adulthood.
"People had to wear tuxedos, but I was still trying to develop my own look," he tells GQ. But some enterprising YouTuber has uploaded the footage from her Rudd-DJed bat mitzvah, and what we can see from it suggests he might have been better off sticking to the dress code. Young Rudd was no glamorous movie star — with his ruffled tuxedo, baggy boat shorts, white socks, and Bill-and-Ted hair, he looks more like he should be reading the "Ant-Man" comics on his couch than starring in the movie version.
However, you'll notice that even at this prehistoric stage of his career, he's already showing off the charm and goofy humor that made him a star, lifting the limbo bar for the guest of honor and wisecracking, "It's her gig, she gets under the 'bo."
