Amanda Holden takes Paul Rudd by surprise with unexpected compliment about his appearance

Radio host Amanda Holden took Paul Rudd by surprise after she appeared to be very complimentary about his appearance.

The Ant-Man actor, 55, appeared on Heart FM on Monday morning (8 April) to talk all things Ghostbusters after starring in the fourth instalment of the franchise, marking Rudd's second outing as Gary Grooberson.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire stars Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace as they reprise their roles as Egon's grandchildren, Trevor and Phoebe.

Carrie Coon is also back as Egon's daughter, Callie.

The movie also boasts the return of the remaining members of the original crew: Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, and Ernie Hudson, who also appeared in Afterlife.

While opening up about the film on Holden's Heart FM, the radio host, 53, seemed to be pretty fond of Rudd's boiler suit look in the movie.

Holden said: "You look so fetching in a boiler suit.", to which the actor blushed: "Oh, I do? Oh my gosh, thanks."

"It's definitely for you. Is it comfy wearing one? Is it difficult when you need the loo?" the BGT judge continued.

"No. It's really...honestly... after being in an Ant-Man suit, everything is comfortable! The Ghostbusters suit is nice and roomy," replied Rudd, as Holden kept joking: "You can have a big lunch?"

"You absolutely can," Rudd said, adding: "You just loosen the belt a little bit if you need to. But there's plenty of room."

Co-host Jamie Theakston soon interrupted the duo, as he told listeners: "Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is out now. Paul Rudd is with us."

On the film, Rudd said: "I mean, all of these are the original Ghostbusters and sometimes, you know, it's such a fun job this job and I am so grateful that I get to do it.

"But getting to kind of, I don't know, be on a Ghostbusters set, in the firehouse with the original Ghostbusters is so surreal that sometimes you just go, what a life experience this would be."

Speaking about the sequel previously, director Gil Kenan, said: “It’s an absolute honor to pick up the proton pack and step behind the camera for the next chapter of the Spengler family saga.

"I just wish I could go back to 1984 and tell the kid in the sixth row of the Mann Valley West that one day he was going to get to direct a Ghostbusters film."

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is available to watch in cinemas now.
