Adam Scott was totally bugginโ€™.

The actor, 52, revealed what it was like to watch his college friend, Paul Rudd, shoot to stardom after the cult classic โ€œCluelessโ€ came out in 1995.

โ€œWhen Paul got that job, thatโ€™s when everything changed and one of my friends was suddenly famous,โ€ Scott recalled while on Entertainment Weeklyโ€™sย โ€œThe Awardistโ€ podcast. โ€œIt was so crazy. Yeah, and that was 30 years ago, too.โ€ย

The actors first became pals while attending the same university.

โ€œI started at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts the year after he graduated, and already he was kind of famous on campus,โ€ Scott explained. โ€œI got to school and people wereโ€ฆ There was chatter about this guy Paul Rudd, and part of it was becauseย he had already gotten a Nintendo commercialย that was airing and it was like, โ€˜Whoa.โ€™โ€

And everyone on campus knew that the โ€œAnt-Manโ€ actor, 56, โ€œwas going to explodeโ€ at some point soon.

Meanwhile, Scott and Rudd didnโ€™t meet in person until the โ€œParks and Recreationโ€ alum graduated.

โ€œHe was there giving out an award as the past star of the school,โ€ Scott reflected. โ€œAnd so we hung out after the graduation and became fast friends.โ€

Luckily, being in the same industry hasnโ€™t proven to be competitive thus far.

โ€œI remember I auditioned forย โ€˜Clueless,โ€™ but not for the role Paul played,โ€ Scott shared. โ€œI auditioned for some other role.โ€ย 

Ruddโ€™s portrayal of Josh inย โ€œClueless,โ€ opposite Alicia Silverstoneโ€™s Cher, was the funny manโ€™s breakout role.

After โ€œClueless,โ€ Rudd starred in the 1996 adaptation ofย โ€œRomeo + Juliet,โ€ the dramaย โ€œThe Locustsโ€ in 1997, and 1998โ€™s rom-comย โ€œThe Object of My Affectionโ€ย with Jennifer Aniston.ย

In 2000, Rudd played Nick Carraway in โ€œThe Great Gatsby.โ€

For Scottโ€™s part, he rose to fame on a slew of hit โ€™90s series, including โ€œER,โ€ โ€œBoy Meets World,โ€ and โ€œParty of Five.โ€

One of his most beloved roles was starring on the sitcom โ€œParks and Recreationโ€ for seven seasons. Rudd guest-starred on the show alongside his pal.

They also starred in the 2011 comedyย โ€œOur Idiot Brotherโ€ together.

Earlier this summer, โ€œCluelessโ€ celebrated its 30th anniversary.

โ€œI donโ€™t know if I have a favorite line,โ€ Rudd told Access Hollywood in March while reminiscing on the film. โ€œItโ€™s the 30th anniversary? Oh my god! That was a while ago. Doesnโ€™t seem like it was that long ago, but it was.โ€

In April, it was announced that Silverstone, 48, would reprise her iconic role in a โ€œCluelessโ€ sequel series. The star will also executive produce alongside Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.

โ€œTotally bugginโ€™โ€ฆ in the best way ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธโœจ,โ€ Silverstone wrote onย Instagram about the news.

Along with Rudd and Silverstone, the movie included Brittany Murphy, whoย died in 2009 at age 32, Stacey Dash, Breckin Meyer, Donald Faison and Jeremy Sisto.ย 



The comedy was loosely based on Jane Austenโ€™s novel, โ€œEmma.โ€

This isnโ€™t the first time โ€œCluelessโ€ has made its way to the small screen. In 1996, there was a โ€œCluelessโ€ TV series on ABC with Rachel Blanchard as Cher Horowitz.

In 2019,ย Schwartz, 48, explained why he โ€œlovesโ€ telling stories about teen romance.

โ€œObviously as Iโ€™ve gotten older, Iโ€™ve started to have a different perspective on teenagers, and maybe even more empathy for the fragility of that time. I also have more empathy for parents, now,โ€ย he told the Postย at the time.

Looking back on the beloved character, Silverstone told Vogue in honor of the filmโ€™s 25th anniversary that she found โ€œCher on the page to be materialistic and unappealing.โ€

โ€œAnd really annoying, to be honest. Just everything I sort of loathed,โ€ she added. โ€œBut I realized that was just me judging her, and once I started working on her I found all the heart and all the love.โ€

โ€œShe loves her daddy so much! And sheโ€™s trying to be a supportive friend, so I just sorta put all of my love and heart into this character with these other aspects that were cringeworthy.โ€
