In a surprise appearance on the election day, Paul Rudd showed up at university in Pennsylvania. He was seen handing out water to beat the heat of the presidential race as the students were in long queues for hours to cast their votes. MSNBC shared a clip of the actor’s generous deed on such an intense day where anchor Nicole Wallace was joined by NBC News Political and National correspondent Jacob Soboroff from the ground in the Keystone State. This is where Soboroff spotted Rudd handing out water to voters waiting in long lines.

Paul Rudd hands out water to students on hot election day
Sobroff sprinted towards the Ant-Man actor upon spotting him among the crowd as he told Wallace, “Someone’s here I think. I heard they came out when they heard that there was a long line here. Here he is.” The camera then switched to Rudd handing out bottles of water to the students. He said, “Hey, Paul just showed up, Nicole. The line was so long.”
Soboroff asked the actor, “Paul, what brought you out,” to which he replied, “I just wanted to give people water. They wait in line for a long time and it’s a wonderful thing that all these young people don’t vote.” The correspondent then revealed to the actor that some of the voters had been waiting in line for two hours to which Rudd replied, “That’s’ impressive.”
He added, “We did a lot here in Pennsylvania today. We wanted to come out and tell these students that they are doing really great things,” as reported MSNBC.
When asked about what Rudd thought of the elections, he answered, “I feel good handing out some water!” Soboroff then made a joke as he parted ways with the actor and continued reporting from the ground, interviewing various voters who had shown up.
