Paul Rudd grew up in the Kansas City area and remains a diehard Chiefs fan. He was in Miami for Super Bowl 54 to watch the Chiefs win their first Super Bowl in 50 years. And during the postgame celebration, Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy saw a great opportunity to give his son, LeSean McCoy Jr., a memorable experience.
It just didn’t play out exactly how McCoy probably imagined.
McCoy — with his son on his shoulders — approached Rudd in order to introduce his young son to Ant-Man — the superhero Rudd plays in the MCU. McCoy could be heard reminding his son that he watches Ant-Man “all the time,” but the youngster wasn’t especially enthused to meet Ant-Man in the flesh.
“That’s Ant-Man. That’s Ant-Man. Are you serious,” McCoy said to his son. Maybe he was just shy meeting Rudd and not deliberately unimpressed, but it was still adorable.
It was like the scene in Endgame where the kids at the diner wanted a photo with Hulk and not Ant-Man … except, you know, in real life.
But hey, McCoy tried. And Rudd — with his son Jack watching on — was a great sport throughout it all.
