When Cher is doing exercise videos in a fairly skimpy one-piece, crucially Josh does not perve over her. The film takes pains to let Cher and Josh’s romance grow gently and simultaneously. And can you imagine what a different film this could have been if either had landed the part? Heckerling auditioned both Ben Affleck and Zach Braff for the role of Josh before settling on Rudd. Thing is, in different hands this actually could have been incredibly creepy, and Heckerling’s ability to tap into Rudd’s super power (being deeply lovely) turns Clueless from a story about a college-age family member grooming a 16-year-old virgin in her own home, into one of the best loved and most popular teen comedies of all time.
Fortunately he loves her too… awwww, the end. Eventually she realizes she’s in love with him, and after saying he’s not even cute and a hideous dancer, she concludes that he’s a Baldwin* and a really positive influence on her. Josh is political, intelligent and a bit snooty, and he and Cher bicker constantly, though he ultimately helps her to become a better person and she ultimately helps him to loosen up and be less judgemental. So officially her (former?) step brother, but not a blood relative (more on this in a bit). He plays Josh, the college-age son of Cher’s father’s former wife. Cher encourages her to instead pursue douchebag Elton (Jeremy Sisto), who actually only has eyes for Cher, in part because Cher is rich and Tai is not.Ĭlueless isn’t Rudd’s first credited feature, that’s something called A Question of Ethics (1992), where he is credited as ‘Kenny Chin.’Īnyway… After A Question of Ethics, Clueless was Rudd’s first feature. These include meddling with the love life of new girl Tai (Britney Murphy), a stoner who is instantly attracted to slacker Travis (Breckin Meyer). While she has a tendency to be self-centered, her heart is in the right place, even when she makes mistakes. Josh (Rudd).Īlicia Silverstone’s Cher Horowitz is a beautiful, rich teenager who is immaculately dressed and a Queen Bee at school.
But it was Amy Heckerling that launched him into the hearthrob limelight when she cast him in Clueless, her Valleygirl take on Jane Austen’s Emma.įrom the outset, Heckerling had wanted to make a movie about a teenage girl who was relentlessly sunny and positive and had found inspiration in Austen’s title character, now transposed to Beverly Hills, complete with a former step-brother blurring the lines of familial relationships…. Breckin Meyer’s most recent work includes appearances in Designated Survivor, The Fix, and American Dad!.Okay, Paul Rudd is kind of a Baldwin*, but when People magazine named the then-52-year-old actor the Sexiest Man Alive in 2021, it was a bit of a surprise… Or was it? For years now Rudd has wooed the world with his particular brand of unassuming niceness, boyish looks (how is he 53?!), philanthropic acts, apparent lack of ego, and incredibly charismatic screen presence.
