Restaurateur who met Paul Rudd believes he looks so young because he is always ‘happy’

A restaurant owner who met Paul Rudd has given an explanation for his youthful looks.

Speaking to Insider, Asma Khan, who runs Darjeeling Express in London’s Covent Garden, said his temperament helps him stay fresh-faced. She said: “He just looks so happy.

“I think the reason why he looks so young is because he’s a good man. Both his kids were there both times; he’s a very family man. I think he’s a man at peace, and that shows.”

It comes after photo of actors Paul Rudd and Dan Levy eating together in the restaurant went viral with people commenting on how young the 52-year-old actor looked.

Others loved that Rudd and Levy are friends and celebrated them having dinner together.

Khan said Rudd visited the restaurant twice in a week and was very kind to staff, even FaceTiming an employee who was in India.

She added: “For me, he’s no longer a big film star. I just see a man who, with all his fame and all the adulation he gets, is just unbelievably humble, and human, and kind.

“He is the kind of person that you want to be a good guy. He’s more than that. He’s compassionate, and humble.”

However, Rudd might disagree. During a Clueless reunion at Chicago’s Comic & Entertainment Expo, Rudd explained: “I’m 80 years old on the inside,” before point to his chest and stating: “In here, pure darkness - and a little moisturiser.”

We doubt that.
