Paul Rudd is on the “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” press tour within the UK, and whereas he is recognized for conducting the odd prank or two himself all through his profession, he bought a style of his personal medication reside on BBC Radio 1 on Feb. 17. The Marvel actor appeared on the Greg James breakfast present to play a recreation of “Agony Ant-Man,” the place listeners might name in and ask Rudd for recommendation, however a “Welsh” caller sparked some suspicion.

“I needed to choose your brains, so what would you do when you have, like, a very good mate, like for over 20 years, after which this buddy — he would not reside in England — however he is come to England and he hasn’t informed you about it,” she stated. “After which not solely has he not informed you about it, he is come onto a radio present.
