We all know Paul Rudd because he has been in a lot of fun movies. He has been in movies like Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and This is 40. He has also played Marvel’s Ant-Man a few times. People know a lot about his work life, but not as much about his personal life. You might not know this, but Rudd has been married for almost 20 years and has a son and a daughter. Darby Rudd is Rudd’s daughter.

Darby Rudd was born in New York City in 2010 to actor Paul Rudd and his wife of almost 20 years, Julie Yaeger. We don’t know for sure when Darby was born, but we do know that Paul Rudd’s youngest child is 12 years old. Even though Paul Rudd spends a lot of time traveling and working on movie sets, Darby spends most of her days with her family in the historic town of Rhinebeck, New York.
The Rudds are smart because they haven’t said where Darby goes to school. Based on her age, she is either in the sixth or seventh grade. So far, Darby Rudd hasn’t shown that she wants to be an actor like her famous father, even though she got a shout-out in the 2017 movie Fun Mom Dinner. Her father had a small role in the film, and her mother wrote the script.
The only other time Darby Rudd is seen in Hollywood is when she goes with her father or other family members to the red carpet premiere of one of his movies. Darby Rudd was there when her father got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame seven years ago. The whole family, including Darby’s brother Jack, went to see Paul Rudd get the praise he deserved.
Her brother is five years older than she is. Jack, who is now 17 years old and was born in 2006, is not afraid to get into a little trouble with his father. When Paul Rudd was cast as Scott Lang in Ant-Man, Jack gave his father a hard time. Rudd was on Entertainment Tonight when he talked about how his son had reacted.
Rudd remembered, “When I told my own son I was going to be in a superhero movie, he asked what it was.” “I said, ‘All right, I’ll be Ant-Man.'” “What?” he asked. He didn’t think much of it.”
The older Rudd then told ET what his son had said to him. “What he really said was, ‘Wow, I can’t wait to see how stupid that will be.'” At the time, Jack was 9 years old.
Darby Rudd was only 5 years old when Paul Rudd joined the MCU with Marvel’s Ant-Man in 2015. Paul wasn’t sure how his daughter, Darby, would react to him playing the father of a young girl in a movie, but it seems that Darby liked it a lot more than Paul thought she would. After the second Ant-Man movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp, came out in 2018, he talked about it.
Paul Rudd told JaMonkey that there is a good chance that his character will be in a scene with a girl playing his daughter Cassie. “My daughter Darby isn’t much younger than you. And I can write these kinds of scenes because I’ve been there, so I know what it’s like. And I share it with my own daughter, which makes it one of my favorite things. She really likes it. When she was very young, I thought, “Is this going to be strange?”
“When my daughter is old enough to watch this movie, she will see me being a dad to a little girl,” he said. Instead, it’s the other way around. I think she really likes it because I tell her, “You’re the real Cassie.” Rudd was talking to a group of people at the time, and they all said, “Awwwww!” Rudd replied, “I know, and I do little things for her in the movie that are little things.”
When it comes to Darby Rudd’s dad, what else do we know about him? Now 53 years old, the popular comedic actor has been working in movies and TV for 30 years. He still loves what he does.
He has been in TV shows like Sisters, Friends, Reno 911, Living With Yourself, and The Shrink Next Door, but he is better known for his movies like Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, I Love You, Man, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and all the MCU movies where he played Ant-Man.
Since 2014, Paul Rudd has owned a business, and Darby Rudd is sure to be happy about it. Rudd and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead, used to own Samuel’s Sweet Shop, a candy store in Rhinebeck, New York, together.
Darby Rudd’s mom is Julie Yaeger. In 1995, when Paul was making the movie Clueless, he and Darby’s mom and dad met. Paul had gone to the office of his publicist, where Julie was working. Since then, they’ve been together almost all the time. Julie got married to the “most sexist man alive” in 2003. Three years later, she had Jack, and four years after that, she had Darby.
Julie has worked in many different jobs over the course of her career. She started out as a publicist, and then she became a producer and a writer for movies. Yaeger helps Paul and Dean Morgan with Samuel’s Sweet Shop when she is not in Hollywood.
Not much is known about Darby Rudd, which is a good thing. This means that her parents are doing everything they can to make sure that she and her older brother, Jack, have a normal childhood. Who knows what Darby’s future holds, but since both of her parents work in movies and TV, it wouldn’t be surprising if she follows in their footsteps. Until then, keep having fun with your childhood.
