Cinematic Crush: Paul Rudd

Crush object: Paul Rudd, actor.

- He first caught our eye as Alicia Silverstone's step-brother in Clueless, and held it when he played gay in The Object of My Affection; other notable early films include William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, The Cider House Rules and the cult fave Wet Hot American Summer.

- He really hit his stride as one of the so-called "frat pack", beginning with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, followed by the blockbuster hits The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up.

- On television, he has appeared on Sisters and Reno 911!, but is best known as Mike, Phoebe's eventual husband, on Friends.

- Stage roles include stints on Broadway in The Last Night of Ballyhoo, Twelfth Night and Three Nights of Rain.

- Most recently, he cameoed as John Lennon in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and co-starred in Over Her Dead Body; he'll next be seen in this month's new comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Oh, me too!! He is extremely hot in an unconventional sort of way. Imagine lifting those legs up in the air, and diving in.
