Hasty Pudding President Amira Weeks said the entire organization is in awe of Rudd, "specifically, in his ability to have not aged since 1995."
Rudd co-wrote and starred in "Ant-Man" and plays the lead in the upcoming "The Catcher Was a Spy," the real-life story of Ivy Leaguer and major league ballplayer Moe Berg, a spy with the forerunner of the CIA during World War II.
Rudd will get his pudding pot during a roast at Harvard on Feb. 2.
