“Terrible“and”restrictive”: These are the words used by Paul Rudd to describe the diet he had to follow to become Ant-Man. During a recent interview on the “Off Menu” podcast, where guests talk about their “dream menus,” hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster asked the actor what type of water he preferred.
“When I had to train for the Ant-Man movie and was on a very restrictive diet, my reward was soda water.– he answered with a laugh. “That’s how terrible this diet was. I thought, “Okay, now I’ll have sparkling water, I deserve it.”“

Did the Marvel cast compare notes on their training while working on Infinity War or Endgame? Paul Rudd answers. “I think people do. But I also think I worked the hardest, ate the best, and looked the scariest. All I had to do was work out, eat great, just look bad. Not a big one.“
He continued: “I remember in Endgame, Chris Hemsworth always had these Tupperware containers and he was eating this slush, which was just a puree of something. He’s working out and then you’re standing next to a guy like that and I’m just like, “Well, what’s all this for?” Why kill myself when it could exist and then I look at myself and it exists. I’ll never get there. Good thing it was Ant-Man and not Thor. But I tried to practice and it didn’t work.“
