Long before the American actor Paul Rudd joined the Avengers as Ant-Man, he actually starred in a commercial for the Super Nintendo - showcasing games like F-Zero, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Pilotwings and even SimCity.
With this in mind, Twitter user @ArtofNP - who is "obsessed" with archiving and sharing original Nintendo Power art, wants Paul Rudd to sign their Super Nintendo. They've got so tired of waiting for the opportunity to arise, that they're now offering to donate $1000 to a charity of anyone's choice if they can somehow get Paul Rudd to sign the SNES.
As much as we would love to help out here at Nintendo Life, unfortunately, Paul doesn't have social media and we've um...lost his mobile number, so we no longer have direct contact with him. That's why we're calling on the community in the hope it can turn this lifelong dream into a reality. So, if you happen to be a friend of Ant-Man, please pass on this message.

An odd request, but I’m sure someone will make it happen, this is the internet for crying out loud
He loves him, man
Danny devito is who I want to sign my snes
Dude!!!! I hope the Rud helps out a brother!
Heh, Paul seems like such a genuinely good guy, that I bet he'd do this if he became aware of it.
Paul Rudd's best work.
is it just me or has NL's thumbnail game been on point lateley
A news on Nintendo Life about an avenger that is not captain marvel? Is it still the 1st of April?
@Rhaoulos who’s that? 😂
I don't know where this ArtofNP lives but I met Paul Rudd in Chicago at a Convention in 2019. It was on my birthday and I got a picture with him with my bday balloons in shot and then he signed it and wrote happy birthday.
So the opportunies are there for this person to make it happen or for someone to help him.
After the pandemic is over, Paul Rudd should host a charity event where people get to play SNES games with him on an abandoned drive-in theater screen.
I remember this commercial! I never would have realized Paul Rudd was the actor if not for this article though.
@Severian I think that it's like a raccoon or something idk
Not sure of this Rudd fellow, but now Tayne I can get into.
I remember this commercial but had no idea that was paul Rudd. I don't think anybody else did either. He wasn't famous yet. I know there's an old Atari Pitfall commercial with Jack black at 12 or something.
It was all going well for Paul Rudd, he'd secured the franchise with Marvel, he was happy and content and life was good. Then, the whispers. 'Why doesn't he age?' 'Is it surgery?' 'He looks so good'. He may have gotten away with it if not for a curious cleaner venturing into his life and discovering the hideous secret that lay there, the portrait. The portrait that revealed the true, hideous Paul Rudd. The image that sent the cleaner running, screaming to the authorities....(excerpt, The Portrait Of That Bloke From Ant Man, Harper Collins, 2020)
@MattyHammo @nessisonett 😂
Don't worry guys. We've got unlimited time for him to sign that SNES. He never ages, remember?
I genuinely know Paul Rudd's brother-in-law
@Dringo (and he works at Nintendo?)
@Sinton
No, that's "my uncle"
