Some people age well, and then there's Paul Rudd. The Avengers: Endgame actor turned 50 years old on April 6, a fact that is barely believable to some and evidence of witchcraft to others.

People on Twitter reacted to the news that Rudd is 50 whole-ass years old with skepticism and histrionics, which makes sense considering the dude has spent every year of his adult life looking the exact age he was when the Cold Ones came to him in the night, whispering promises of youth and success in exchange for something small, something he wouldn't even miss, and after the bargain was struck he found they were correct.

His skin stayed firm, as they promised. His eyes remained bright and full of life. But sometimes he wonders what the true cost of his beauty will be, and if he'll live to miss what he lost after all.

Anyway, Twitter had some more thoughts.

Happy birthday, Paul Rudd. You aren't fooling anyone.
