Claud is such a huge follower of Paul Rudd that they really have actually a tune entitled “Paul Rudd” on their cd Supermodels. According to the singer-songwriter, both had a serendipitous experience on Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour that led to Rudd being cast in their brand-new video — for an additional track, “A Good Thing.”
Following the launch of “A Good Thing,” Claud clarified just how the unforeseen yet wonderful cooperation happened.
“I randomly met him in passing at The Eras Tour, like at the Taylor Swift concert,” they said in a TikTok clip posted on Saturday (July 15). “I walked past the VIP tent, and I was like, ‘Paul Rudd, this sounds kinda weird, but there’s a song on my album. The song’s called ‘Paul Rudd.’ I hope this isn’t weird.’”
They proceeded, “And he was like, so nice about it, and he gave me his email. He was like, ‘Send it to me. I’d love to hear your album.’ So I sent him my album.”
“Can’t believe you trusted me with your email,” Claud included as a side note to Rudd.
“I explained, ‘I called this song ‘Paul Rudd’ because it’s me trying to envision myself as this cool and confident and charismatic, lovable character that you play, and that you just are in real life, that I’m often not.’ And he responded he loved the album.”
Claud gambled and also welcomed Rudd to the collection for an approaching video.
“I was like, ‘We’re filming a music video for the song ‘A Good Thing.’ If you happen to be free on this day, would you ever consider stopping by?’ And he came for the whole entire day. He stayed for like five hours,” they stated.
“It was the best day of my life,” included Claud.
Claud likewise shared a selfie with Rudd on Sunday, captioning the photo: “Me and Paul meeting at eras tour. Photo creds @phoebebridgers … no sorry you are not going to hear the end of this.”
