Claud and Paul Rudd met at a Taylor Swift show
Claud, in an TikTok video shared on July 15, 2023, explained that he first met Paul Rudd at a Taylor Swift concert.
"I randomly met him in passing at The Eras Tour, like at the Taylor Swift concert. I walked past the VIP tent, and I was like, ‘Paul Rudd, this sounds kinda weird, but there’s a song on my album. The song’s called ‘Paul Rudd.’ I hope this isn’t weird.'”
The singer continued:
“And he was like, so nice about it, and he gave me his email. He was like, ‘Send it to me. I’d love to hear your album.’ So I sent him my album. (to Rudd) Can’t believe you trusted me with your email."
The singer stated that the actor loved the album before ending the video by elaborating upon how the collaboration came about.
"I was like, ‘We’re filming a music video for the song ‘A Good Thing.’ If you happen to be free on this day, would you ever consider stopping by?’ And he came for the whole entire day. He stayed for like five hours.”
