Paul Rudd asks himself this question "friends" all the time and you will have said "Um, Same"

Currently Promoting His Last Main Role in Marvel Ant-Man and the Wasp Rudd has been in the acting game for decades (which, of course, seems impossible since it never seems to age, according to this famous meme). But when the host of GMA Robin Roberts asked him which of his dozens of characters were worth him the most recognition while he was in public, he said that three of him came to mind

. he revealed. "Usually, if I walk down the street now, people just go" Ant-Man. "And then from time to time they say," Hit the bass. "They'll tell me that." This quote, of course, comes from the attempt of his character to resemble a reggae musician in a scene of the 2009 romantic comedy I Love You Man . As noted by his love on screen, played by Rashida Jones, his hilarious accent was much closer to that of an elf.

"And then sometimes I'll say," How's Phoebe? "" Rudd added. "These are the only three." (Uh, not Josh from Clueless too, to quote Cher, "It does not matter.")

Although Rudd only appears in 17 Friends & # 39; 236 episodes in total, his role on the beloved 90s series has clearly made an impression. In addition to winning its place in the canon of pop culture, the show has survived frequent rehearsals and various streaming services. Oh, and through all these people who can always tell timeless quotes Friends .

The fans will never forget Rudd as Mike Hannigan (briefly renamed "Crap Bag"), the character introduced in season 9 as a love interest for Phoebe Buffay Lisa Kudrow. Despite some ups and downs, the pair finally had their happiness forever when they got married outside the team's cafe, Central Perk.

According to another guest star, however, this happy ending has not apparently taken place, and fans have Rudd himself to thank for the changing story. Hank Azaria, who played scientist David, Phoebe's other boyfriend, told Huffington Post that his character was to end up with the singer "Smelly Cat".

"The plan was still to bring him back," said Azaria at Huffington Post in 2016 of David, who put his relationship with Phoebe on hold of a career opportunity in Minsk. "I think, honestly, that Paul Rudd is so great that he found a kind of groove with him and [Mike] became more than the grain of salt of this mill as opposed to the opposite."

"A little sad" towards David "did a little harm," Azaria could not blame the producers for falling on Rudd's charms and singing the praises of his companion at Huffington Post :

went on to prove that he deserved comically the love of Phoebe, a nice devil, he's actually annoying, he really should not be allowed to be so handsome he's like Tom Brady of comedy. "

Kudrow was not Rudd's first love interest for the cast of Friends After meeting Jennifer Aniston years ago while they were both trying to launch their respective actress career, the pair became the first star in 1998 The object of my affect "Jennifer [Aniston] is someone I've known for years Friends, "Rudd says People in 2015, listing his role in The Object of My Affection as one of his favorites of all the times. "We had a conversation, like," Could you imagine 21 and you in a movie together playing these head pieces? "

He and Aniston once again reunited as a husband and a wife in another comedy, 2012 Wanderlust . At that time, they had been friends for more than two decades, so during an interview that year, GQ asked them if it was weird to close the lips on the screen. "Nah, I've been kissing her for years," Aniston joked, while Rudd went on, "We've been doing it for decades."

No matter how much time passes (or how many times he goes out with Aniston), fans clearly remember Rudd as Mike of Friends – and apparently want to know how his wife on the screen Phoebe is doing.
