Much has been made of Paul Rudd’s seemingly ageless looks. He was after all named the sexiest man alive by People magazine in 2021.
We’ll be seeing plenty of the 54 year old Ant-Man star, who grew up in the Kansas City area, this week while he’s in town for the annual Big Slick Weekend Celebrity fundraiser.
Rudd and the other celebrity co-hosts of Big Slick have been coming back home to Kansas City to help raise millions of dollars for Children’s Mercy Hospital since 2010.
The Star has a treasure trove of images from the Big Slick events going back to its beginning. We’re sharing a photo of Rudd from each year of the event to let our readers be the judges of whether or not he ages at a rate slower than most every other human on the planet. Take a look at the photos below and see what you think.
