Half-Naked Paul Rudd Soaks Up the Sun While Filming Anaconda Reboot

Paul Rudd, known as a former Sexiest Man Alive and a renowned Hollywood nice guy, was recently spotted enjoying the sunny beaches of Gold Coast, Australia, where he is filming the new Anaconda movie. This comedic retake on the 1997 horror film starring Jennifer Lopez is set to release on Christmas Day 2025. Paul Rudd co-stars alongside Jack Black, and they previously teased their fans with comedic hype about the big 'anaconda' in a playful December YouTube video. This is prepared by SSP.

The 55-year-old Marvel star was also captured humorously using a $12 Bunnings umbrella between scenes, and visibly enjoying a Frisbee game, while Jack Black marked his return to Australia following the cancellation of Tenacious D's tour. Filming in the sun-bathed Queensland backdrop is predicted to generate over 300 jobs, boosting the economy by approximately $40 million. Director Tom Gormican co-writes the script with Kevin Etten, ensuring plot details remain tightly under wraps.

Anaconda includes an impressive cast, starring Rudd with Black, along with Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn. While the original was widely criticized, it managed box office success and grew to cult status, describing a documentary crew pursuing a giant snake in the Amazon. Paul Rudd also anticipates his role with Jenna Ortega in A24’s Death of a Unicorn, launching in theaters March 28.

Earlier, SSP reported that Connor Cruise celebrated 30th birthday amid heartfelt tributes from loved ones.
