Paul Rudd surprises thirsty voters — and an MSNBC reporter — to hand out water to long line at Pa. polls

"They're waiting in line for a long time, and it's a wonderful thing that all these young people are out voting," the "Ant-Man" star said.

Thirsty voters in Philadelphia received a welcome surprise while waiting in line for their turn in the polls: Paul Rudd with a whole lotta water.

During his segment on the ground with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, NBC News political and national correspondent Jacob Soboroff found the Knocked Up star handing out water bottles outside the polling place near Temple University. "I just wanted to give people water," Rudd told the reporter. "They're waiting in line for a long time, and it's a wonderful thing that all these young people are out voting."

After Soboroff asked if news of long polling lines inspired his act of service, Rudd responded, "We've been doing lots of stuff here today in Pennsylvania, and we wanted to come out and tell these students that they're doing really great things."

Indeed, Rudd was spotted earlier this afternoon at Villanova University, located 12 miles outside of Philadelphia city limits. The university's student newspaper, The Villanovan, reported that the actor was handing out water and snacks (and obliging selfie requests) on that campus as well.

After Soboroff asked how he felt about the election, Rudd responded, "I feel good about handing out some water" and returned to his volunteer work. (Eagle-eyed viewers may have also noticed that the journalist rapidly attempted to close with a handshake, but instead tapped the bundle of water bottles when the actor didn't reciprocate.)

Soboroff then left Rudd's vicinity to continue a conversation with Wallace and interview young voters. The reporter asked a first-time voter how it felt to participate in the election, and she responded, "It feels great! It's awesome. It feels like I'm representing my country, helping out."

Without missing a beat, Soboroff noticed that the Ant-Man star had returned with more refreshments. "Do you want a water from Paul Rudd?" Soboroff asked. The voter enthusiastically accepted and asked for a photo with the actor — and Soboroff took the photo on her phone. "Guys, this is a moment!" the journalist said. "We got it. It's a nice picture!"

Rudd previously fed voters in line for early voting during the 2020 election, handing out cookies in the rain in Brooklyn, CNN reported at the time.

Rudd, who does not use any social media platforms, has not publicly endorsed a candidate for the 2024 presidential election. However, he participated in a fundraising event for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris during the final stretch of their campaign in 2020, alongside Marvel costars Don Cheadle, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, and Zoe Saldaña. (Cheadle, Evans, and Ruffalo teamed up with Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey, Jr., Danai Gurira, and Paul Bettany for a video stumping for Harris last week, but Rudd and Saldaña were not involved this time around.)
