A humble Paul replied that the verdict “makes sense. I appreciate you just giving me a shot, honestly.” Impressed by his humility, Colbert changed his tune and revealed that, not just a ‘sexy’ but Paul Rudd is the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’. “Don’t you see, Paul? There’s nothing sexier than humility. That was the last test, and you passed, Paul!” Colbert said. The ‘Clueless’ actor even showed his humility in the People cover story by saying he does “have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?'”
