Actor Paul Rudd was filmed handing out water bottles to young voters waiting in long queues in swing state Pennsylvania on US election day.
The Ant-Man star was spotted during a broadcast on US outlet MSNBC at Temple University in Philadelphia, surprising young voters who had been in line for several hours, which Rudd described as “impressive”.
“We’ve been doing lots of stuff today here in Pennsylvania and we wanted to come out and tell these students they’re doing really great things,” 55-year-old Rudd told the news outlet.

“I just wanted to give people water.
“They’re waiting in line for a long time, and it’s a wonderful thing that all these young people are out voting.”
When asked about the election, Rudd laughed, adding: “I feel good about handing out some waters.”
