UPDATE: Comedian Reveals Upsetting Feelings About Paul Rudd's Ant-Man in Viral TikTok

UPDATE: The comedian Jacob Rudd was originally misidentified as being the son of actor Paul Rudd, though there is no relation, with the video itself meant to serve as a parody. Original story as published continues below.

Paul Rudd's son Jacob was presumably not one of the thousands of people excitedly tweeting about Ant Man & The Wasp: Quantumania when the trailer dropped earlier this week. The teen took to Tiktok to share a now-viral musing on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, joking that he was grounded after telling his father that Ant-Man was "my least favorite Marvel superhero." The brief video is set to "Speak Now" by Taylor Swift, featuring the lyrics "all eyes on me -- horrified looks from everyone in the room." As you might expect, the relatable humor, combined with Marvel as the subject matter and the general public adoration of Paul Rudd has made the Tiktok a huge hit, with over half a million likes.

Since Paul Rudd's agelessness is also a pop culture meme, there are plenty of comments having fun with the fact that Jacob looks a lot like his father. "OK Paul Rudd, we know it's you" is the top comment as of this writing.
