Paul Rudd Now Leaves His Phone Behind When He Goes to Work on a Film Set

Paul Rudd has stopped bringing his phone with him when he reports to a film set, he told Variety. He said he made the change because he is as hooked on the device as most people are. Rudd's newest role is in "A Statement," directed by Academy Award winner Tom McCarthy, where he plays the moderator of a fictional first meeting convened to address the climate crisis in the United States. His rule is simple: the phone stays behind and the attention stays on the work.
