The actor was nice enough to help a young couple share their news by holding up a sign indicating that the woman is “knocked up.” (This, you will note, is perfect, because he was in the movie _Knocked Up._ Get it?) > [](https://twitter.com/rynprry/status/484672686657126401) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2953578/paul-rudd-helps-a-couple-share-the-news-that-theyre-knocked-up/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2953578/paul-rudd-helps-a-couple-share-the-news-that-theyre-knocked-up/"},"headline":"Paul Rudd Helps a Couple Share the News That They're \"Knocked Up\"","datePublished":"2014-07-03T14:22:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:11:22.076Z","description":"Best pregnancy announcement ever","url":"https://time.com/2953578/paul-rudd-helps-a-couple-share-the-news-that-theyre-knocked-up/","keywords":["Newsfeed","twitter","baby","Pregnant","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2953578/paul-rudd-helps-a-couple-share-the-news-that-theyre-knocked-up/","name":"Paul Rudd Helps a Couple Share the News That They're \"Knocked Up\""}}]}] ```
