The Only Murders In The Building actor looked unrecognizable at the Super Bowl 2024

On a night that saw Beyonce's youngest daughter Rumi Carter enter the spotlight, Usher take over the iconic Halftime Show and Taylor Swift steal a kiss with Travis Kelce on the pitch, the Super Bowl 2024 provided viewers with more than just a Kansas City Chiefs victory. 

Yet the one celebrity moment fans can't seem to get past, is Paul Rudd's unexpected new appearance. 

The actor, 54, stepped out onto the football field before the game sporting a large mustache á la Mario Bros. 

The father-of-two, who was joined by his lookalike son Jack, 18, is rarely seen with facial hair as distinctive as a bushy mo'.

Naturally, fans on X (formerly Twitter) had the best response to the situation. "Paul Rudd with a mustache. That is all," tweeted one Super Bowl viewer. 

"Whatever role requires Paul Rudd to have a mustache is gonna be a top tier movie," wrote another, as a third replied: "Well now I want to see Paul Rudd in a 70's buddy cop movie for more of this hair/mustache combo."

A fourth X user wrote: "This is the only football related post i will be making tonight but PAUL RUDD WITH A MUSTACHE." A fifth quipped: "Paul Rudd with a 'tash is wild."

The 54-year-old Kansas City native is frequently dubbed an "ageless vampire" by his fans, and it's clear to see why when comparing photos from his early career with his current roles.

The actor shares his two children - Jack and daughter Darby, 12, with wife Julie Yaeger.

Time and time again, the father-of-two has been hailed as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, and while he's recognized around the world, he doesn't see himself as a celebrity. 

"When I think about myself, I think of myself as a husband and a father, like I'm that," he said to in 2021. "I just hang out with my family when I'm not working. That's what I kind of like the most."
