Charismatic Comedian Captures

The Paul Rudd Nylon Guys Cover Shows That Sophistication is Key

Comedians have a way of capturing the hearts of audiences like no one else does, and the Paul Rudd Nylon Guys cover demonstrates that theory better than ever before. Paul Rudd has made himself into a household name thanks to movies like 'The 40 Year Old Virgin' and 'I Love You, Man,' but many people remember him from 'Clueless' and as Pheobe’s husband Mike on 'Friends.'

The funny man has been making audiences laugh for years, but the Paul Rudd Nylon Guys shows him in a new light and it is definitely a surprise to see Rudd in such a, well, fashionable light.

Shot by photographer Kenneth Cappello and styled by Sam Spector, the editorial features Rudd decked out in thick-rimmed glasses and casual duds by A.P.C., Marc by Marc Jacobs, J. Crew and other brands. Not bad for a funny man.
