What you need to know
Paul Rudd gave a funny answer to a question about his “huge penis” on his podcast.
Rudd, 56, appeared on the Jan. 8 episode of the comedy podcast “Take Your Shoes Off with Rick Glassman.” In the episode, Anaconda actor and host Rick Glassman humorously reflected on Rudd’s appearance on the podcast series in July, featuring an elaborate episode in which Michael Cera posed as a podcast production assistant and spilled “hot” coffee on Rudd, derailing the interview.
When Rudd “returned” to finish a podcast interview in July, as a video recording of that episode showed Rudd changing his pants in front of the host, blurring his crotch and behind, Glassman made a remark about Rudd’s “huge penis.”
“I didn’t even know you saw my penis,” Rudd jokingly retorted.
“It was tough. It was easy to miss,” Glassman replied. “It was hard to miss even though it was soft…Do you feel like people don’t know how big your penis is?”

“I mean, I’ve never done[nudity in a movie]. I’ve never been naked in a movie,” Rudd said. When asked why, he replied: “Why? I mean, I’m a pretty private person and I’m not just swinging my penis around here and there. I’m not Harvey Keitel from ‘The Piano.’

Rudd’s appearance on the Take Off Your Shoes podcast in July went viral online, and the fact-checking website Snopes even published an article that month debunking a claim that Rudd was seriously injured in a coffee spill featured on the episode.
When the actor appeared on “Take Off Your Shoes” again on January 8, he joked that he didn’t remember much of what happened earlier.
“The funny thing is, I obviously remember showing up, and obviously I remember our conversation, and I remember spilling coffee on my face and going to the hospital,” he said. “There were some parts that I didn’t remember very well, and it was a little vague, so I was a little surprised that you posted it.”
Rudd’s latest film, Anaconda, is currently in theaters.
