Paul Rudd reminds millennials to wear a mask in hilariously awkward video

If Paul Rudd couldn't convince his "fellow" millennials to wear a mask, then nobody could.

The "Ant-Man" actor starred in a video reminder, as requested by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, to issue the reminder — and it was gloriously awkward.

Rudd joked that Cuomo had called him up telling him that millennials were among the biggest transmitters of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in New York.

"He said, Paul, you have to help, what are you, 26? And I didn't correct him," the 51-year-old actor said.

He then proceeded to butcher modern slang words like "stan" and "bae" and "hypebeast." Naturally there were also mentions of TikTok and internet challenges.

However, at the end of it, Rudd seemed to lose his cool.

He said, "Just wear a mask, it's easy, it's simple. Please, it's not hard. People are dying. Hundreds of thousands of people are dying and it's preventable. It's preventable!"

"Just wear a mask, I shouldn't have to make it fun. It's science," he added.

According to the New York government's COVID-19 tracker, 444,948 residents have tested positive for the disease, while 25,394 have died. —JCB, GMA News
