Super Bowl 2023 came and went, with many Hollywood stars celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’s win over the Philadelphia Eagles. But social media had a lot to say about a father-son duo who shocked everyone with their mirrored behavior during a televised interview: Marvel actor Paul Rudd and his teenage son Jack.
Shortly after Super Bowl LVII ended, a Fox Sports reporter found the two on the football field and engaged them in a post-game conversation. With the camera pointed at the Chiefs super fans, both held themselves in a similar fashion by pacing with their arms crossed in front.
While Paul called out his wife Julie Yaeger, daughter Darby and how he thought the night was “such a great game,” Jack’s response about a certain MVP who stole the moment away from his Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania-starring dad.
“I just want to thank [Kansas City Chiefs quarterback] Patrick Mahomes for existing, for putting in all the work so we can all just enjoy his greatness every week,” Jack said, sounding incredibly similar to his father. “I’m so lucky that I’m alive to watch this and I just … I cannot believe he is a real person.”
When the short clip of Paul and Jack began circulating on TikTok, longtime fans of the Friends alum immediately began reacting. Many exclaimed how the teen is an exact version of his father. What’s more, folks also caught Paul laughing at how his son replied, making the moment even funnier.
“He does a better Paul Rudd [than] his dad ????,” one person wrote in the comments. “That voice. Literally COPY AND PASTE ????,” another noted. “Jack sounds like he’s just constantly doing an impression of his dad it’s sweet and hilarious at the same time ????,” a different user added.
Though Paul and Jack’s appearance at this year’s Super Bowl may come as a surprise for some, it’s not the first time the father-son pair have attended football’s biggest night. Three years earlier, they celebrated the Chiefs’ win over the San Francisco 49ers during Super Bowl LIV.
