When it comes to actors, there are few that can compare to the utter perfection that is Paul Rudd.

Sure, Brad Pitt is hot. Ryan Reynolds is utterly hilarious. But can either of them tear apart an apple with their bare hands? I don’t think so.
But do you know who can? Paul fucking Rudd.
The IRL Benjamin Button of Hollywood recently starred in a promo video for his brand new Netflix series Living With Yourself, where he showed off his mighty strength alongside his costar Aisling Bea.
“Paul, do you remember our very first meeting? And the odd thing you did when I was leaving the room?” Aisling asks at the beginning of the clip.
After joking about how he didn’t think their first encounter “went very well”, she reminded Paul of how he showed off his impressive apple-splitting skills when he first met Aisling, who plays his wife on the show.
“The other thing you did was half an apple straight in front of me, which would slowly become a metaphor for the show,” she added.
The video is available on the official Netflix US Twitter account, but it does what it says on the box, really. Paul Rudd, my most loved man in Hollywood, literally rips an apple in half.
“This motherf— is a tight one,” he says, struggling slightly with the fruit before ripping that bad boy into two near-perfect halves.

“Oh my God, do you see?” Aisling Bea says before taking a bite of the crisp Granny Smith.“Cheers, I’ve really enjoyed working with you!”
In true Paul Rudd fashion, the Ant-Man actor felt the need to respond with possibly the cheesiest line of all time.
“Thank you. You know what? You’re the other half of my Granny Smith!”
This isn’t even the first time Paul Rudd has been meme-ified this week, with his hilariously relatable Hot Ones appearance also making the rounds online.
Living With Yourself is Paul Rudd’s latest eight-episode Netflix dramedy, which follows the life of Miles (played by Rudd), who is replaced by a new and improved version of himself (also played by Rudd).
Honestly, the only thing better than a TV show with Paul Rudd is a TV show with TWO Paul Rudds.
