Look no further than the [BuzzFeed quiz](https://www.buzzfeed.com/jennaguillaume/paul-rudd-quiz) “Paul Rudd Never Ages, But Can You Spot Which Photos He’s Younger In?” So when much of the core cast of _Clueless —_ including Alicia Silverstone, Donald Faison and Breckin Meyer — reunited at Saturday’s Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) to shed some light on some of the iconic 1995 quintessential high school movie’s secrets, there was one burning question. People really, _really_ wanted to know Rudd’s secret even if it had nothing to do with the highly quotable flick. When asked about how he’s maintained his mysteriously youthful glow, Rudd had a fantastic response. “I’m 80 years old on the inside,” he said, according to the [Chicago _Tribune_](https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-ent-clueless-reunion-c2e2-0325-story.html). “In here, pure darkness — and a little moisturizer.” But Breckin Meyer said he was convinced Rudd achieved his timeless look by “sucking the lifeblood out of babies.” Looks like some things will remain a mystery. People loved Rudd’s answer anyway. > [](https://twitter.com/itsamberstweet1/status/1109582535514828801) > [](https://twitter.com/liz%5Febert/status/1110154264989650947) Paul Rudd Reveals Why He Doesn't Age ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5558046/paul-rudd-age-clueless/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5558046/paul-rudd-age-clueless/"},"headline":"Paul Rudd Reveals the Secret Behind Being an Ageless Baby-Faced Adult Man","datePublished":"2019-03-25T13:06:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:58:19.067Z","description":"Paul Rudd reveals the secret to why he hasn't aged all these years at a Clueless reunion over the weekend and it does not disappoint.","url":"https://time.com/5558046/paul-rudd-age-clueless/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta17d4c998272fec3/69894747929fad4151bf2eed/paul-rudd-clueless.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta17d4c998272fec3/69894747929fad4151bf2eed/paul-rudd-clueless.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2019 C2E2","caption":"Paul Rudd on why he looks so young","creditText":"Timothy Hiatt-FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"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/5558046/paul-rudd-age-clueless/","name":"Paul Rudd Reveals the Secret Behind Being an Ageless Baby-Faced Adult Man"}}]}] ```
