Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man Diet Was Hilariously Boring
By DANIELLE RYAN
Actor Paul Rudd revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he had to undergo an extremely strict diet while training to play Scott Lang, a.k.a. the titular “Ant-Man."
While eating high-protein foods and limiting his intake of sugary treats, Rudd wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything fun, so he rewarded himself with something rather unusual.
"When I was having to train for the 'Ant-Man movie,' and I was on a very restrictive diet, my reward was sparkling water,” Rudd said, noting that the water wasn’t even flavored.
“That's how horrible that diet was. I was like, 'Alright, I'm gonna have some sparkling water now, I've earned it,'" the actor laughed.
