Social media can’t get enough of Paul Rudd.

The Ant-Man star became a trending topic on Twitter after his appearance at the Avengers Campus Opening Ceremony on Wednesday, June 2. For the event, which took place at Disney California Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort, Rudd wore a stylish pink Paul Smith suit that sent fans into a frenzy.

“PAUL RUDD IN A PINK SUIT. BREATHE IF YOU AGREE,” one fan tweeted, while another gushed, “paul rudd looking amazing in a pink suit is something i didn’t know i needed until i saw him.”

A third social media user even noted, “watching the avengers campus grand opening stream for Paul Rudd’s pink suit and Paul Rudd’s pink suit only.” And one fan also asked, “CAN WE JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO APPRECIATE PAUL RUDD IN A PINK SUIT.”

Rudd, who attended the opening of the new land alongside fellow Marvel star Anthony Mackie, took the stage in Southern California to share his excitement over the Avengers Campus.

Paul Rudd’s Best Roles

“Hi! Wow, this is great. It’s so great to see everybody, it’s phenomenal to be here in person,” he told the socially distanced crowd as well as the livestream viewers at home. “I loved being in Hong Kong in 2019 to open the Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle, but this is a whole new ball of wax.”

“This is a campus,” he said of the new theme park land, which opens on June 4. “This is an entire campus. The Avengers Campus.”

Prior to Rudd’s appearance on Wednesday, the 52-year-old actor was making headlines for a totally different reason: the Friends reunion. After the HBO Max special premiered in late May, fans couldn’t help but notice Rudd, who portrayed Phoebe’s husband Mike on the beloved series, was missing from the reunion.

As for why Rudd, as well as other former Friends stars were MIA, director Ben Winston offered some insight. “Well, we couldn’t have everybody on, because it’s only an hour and 45 minutes. And you’ve got to pay attention—the main nub of the show has got to be about the six cast members,” he told The Wrap. “So you can’t have too many cameos because of course, there were hundreds of amazing people who were in Friends over the years. Sadly, we couldn’t get everybody in.”

Anxiety? According to Tina Knowles, Beyoncé and Jay-Z are just crazy in love.

The Hollywood power couple was spotted on the sidelines at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday, June 5 as the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks went head to head. Notable basketball fans, the longtime couple has been known to spend date nights courtside since the early 2000s as their romance blossomed.

While on the sidelines, fans have noticed the world-famous rapper often rubs his wife’s leg, a move that has been coined by some as the “Jayoncé leg rub.” As pictures of the sweet moment over the years have been circulating online, claims have emerged that the leg rub is to help with Beyoncé’s purported anxiety.

It seems the rumor made its way to Bey’s mom because Tina weighed in on the chatter in an Instagram post on Sunday, June 6.

“When you love someone and like them you just want to touch them !” she captioned a collage of Jay-Z’s rub. Referencing her husband Richard Lawson, she continued, “Me and Richard are always touching even if it’s just our feet ! Yeah!! That’s what you do !”

“For those of you who don’t understand , Try it sometimes it works !!” she encouraged. “Human Touch is how you stay connected!!”

BTW if someone has anxiety then it is great for their partner to touch them to calm and reassure them. That’s a beautiful thing . It just happens to be not the case here.”
