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.


Actor Paul Rudd had previously shared his regular routine, which he credited for his agelessness

Paul Rudd had previously opened up about his routine and lifestyle, which could be responsible for his never fading skin. The Clueless actor spoke to Men's Health in January 2023 and said that while sleep was the most important factor, other factors like healthy meals were necessary, too.

"I’ve learned so much about how my body reacts to foods, how it reacts to exercise, and where I’m happiest and how much it affects me mentally..." Rudd said.

The outlet then reported that a regular meal for the actor included food items like eggs, salmon, and protein shakes. Paul Rudd even described the routine as quite "comforting" for him and said that getting deviated from it would be uncomfortable. He additionally explained the importance of a routine in life and said:

"There isn’t an office that we have to go to every day where we see the same people and do the same kind of job. Routine is a human need. It’s grounding in a really positive and healthy way."

While discussing his healthy and ageless looks, it is worth stating that Paul Rudd won the People Magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive' award in 2021.
