Paul Rudd Reveals Surprising Detail About ‘Friends’ Residuals

Paul Rudd

Paul Rudd has disclosed that he does not receive any residuals from the immensely popular TV series Friends.

During a Q&A session conducted as part of the Wired Autocomplete Interview earlier this year, the Clueless star openly discussed his financial arrangements with the show’s producers, offering insight into this matter nearly two decades after the show concluded.

While promoting his most recent film, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantamania, Rudd, joined by his co-star Jonathan Majors, took part in a video interview where they addressed some of the most commonly searched questions about themselves.

One of the questions on the card inquired, “Does Paul Rudd get royalties from Friends?” To this, the actor replied: “I don’t believe I do.”

Despite some reluctance from Majors, who considered the topic rather personal, Rudd reiterated his response, stating, “I don’t think I did.” In the iconic series Friends, Rudd portrayed the character Mike Hannigan, the husband of Phoebe Buffay, portrayed by Lisa Kudrow.

His character was introduced in Season Nine as a fabricated date arranged by Joey, portrayed by Matt LeBlanc. Intriguingly, despite their initial ruse, the two characters genuinely fell in love, leading to their eventual marriage. Rudd’s final appearance on the show occurred in the penultimate episode titled “The Last One, Part 1.”

Paul Rudd
  • Paul Rudd is Men’s Health’s March 2023 cover star.
  • The Ant-Man actor says sleep is the key to staying young.
  • He gets eight hours of sleep each night.

Sleep is Paul Rudd’s key to maintaining his youthful appearance. Rudd, who will be on the cover of Men’s Health in March 2023, admitted to the publication that he sleeps eight hours every night.

Rudd said, “People ask me, ‘Can you send me your meal plan? How many times a week do you work out? Do you drink? Do you eat carbs? Do you have a cheat day?’ The most important part of training is sleep.”

Rudd, 53, asserted that those who set their alarms for four hours after going to bed in order to have more time to train are doing themselves a disservice.

Rudd, who was named the Sexiest Man Alive in 2021, remarked, “They’re doing themselves a disservice.

Rudd starts each day with a cup of coffee and some cardio. “I do cardio before I eat anything. I never would’ve done that before [Ant-Man],” Rudd said.

The Ant-Man actor admitted to the magazine that he never intended to play a superhero, but that the experience has changed his life.

“I never really thought I was the type of actor that they would offer any of those parts to,” He said. “But when this idea came around, I was excited about doing something that was so out of left field, and I knew that if it was announced that I was going to be joining a superhero franchise, most people would say, What the f—?”
