Paul Rudd could hardly contain his excitement after Miley Cyrus gave him a shoutout during a high-profile performance last month. Cyrus performed her hit song “Flowers” during the “Homecoming Concert,” a special that celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Saturday Night Live” and aired on Valentine’s Day, which Rudd and his wife Julie attended as part of the live studio audience. Mid-song, Cyrus spotted Rudd in the audience and shouted, “I love you, Paul Rudd!” The moment left a lasting impact on Rudd, who told WSJ. Magazine in an interview published Tuesday that the surprising shoutout inspired him to channel his inner-teenager. “When she said that, I did turn into a 15-year-old,” Rudd said. He went on to describe his inner teenage monologue in that moment, saying, “There’s no way! It’s like, Oh, my God, she’s sick…. I can’t. OK, oh, my God. Miley Cyrus said my name!”
