Earlier this month, a meme went viral claiming that actor Paul Rudd is now the same age as Gloria Stuart was when she filmed the 1997 movie Titanic. It was circulated on all social media platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and 9GAG. The meme includes a photo of Rudd on one side and Gloria Stuart on the other, and the text on the photo reads:
"Paul Rudd is now the same age as Gloria Stuart when she did the Titanic."
However, many netizens debunked the information mentioned in the meme and stated that it was false. One user wrote:
"Not true - she was 87 in 1997. He's only 55."
The claim about Paul Rudd's age in the meme is actually false. Rudd was born on April 6, 1969, according to IMDb, while Gloria Stuart, who played the older version of Rose in Titanic, was born on July 4, 1910, as per the website. This means that in 1997, when Titanic was released, Paul was 28 years old, and Gloria Stuart was 87.
The meme was originally shared by an X user, @DevonESawa), in September 2021. However, in a follow-up tweet, the user also wrote, "Just kidding," suggesting that the meme wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.
In a 2013 conversation with InStyle, Paul Rudd credited sunscreen for his healthy skin. In another interview with Men's Health in January 2023, he highlighted the importance of sufficient sleep too. According to the actor, it made him happy, eventually making him look fresh and young.
In April 2024, actress Jennifer Aniston too called Rudd an "ageless freak" in a hilarious Instagram Story on his birthday.

Paul Rudd even described the routine as quite "comforting" for him and said that getting deviated from it would be uncomfortable.
