Actor and "certified young person" Paul Rudd stars in a hilarious pro-mask PSA that's encouraging people to wear masks, as the ad suggests Millennials are responsible for a bulk of COVID-19 transmission.
Sporting a skateboard, Golfwang hoodie and yellow sweatpants, the 51 year old actor posed as a Millennial for the ad. Claiming to be 26, and attempting to use popular lingo like "bae" "sliding into DMs" and totally beast" Rudd informs the viewers of the risks of COVID-19 and the importance of wearing a mask in a cringe-worthy yet charming manner.
The actor wraps the humorous PSA up on a more serious note, claiming "Just wear a mask! It’s easy, it’s simple…People are dying. Hundreds of thousands of people are dying and it’s preventable. Just wear a mask; I shouldn’t have to make it fun. It’s science."
