Paul’s prank didn’t pay off (Picture: PA Images on behalf of So TV

Paul Rudd learned a valuable lesson in how to pull off a penis prank on movie co-stars.

Or what happens when they go wrong, more like.

The Ant-Man actor decided to play a naughty prank on co-star, and acting legend, Michael Douglas, but it went cruelly and horribly wrong.

While appearing on the Graham Norton show to talk about appearing in Captain America: Civil War, he confessed: ‘[Michael Douglas] is a legend and whilst he is really sweet and cordial, I could never relax with him on set, so on the last day of filming I thought it would be funny to reenact the Basic Instinct Sharon Stone scene while he had to deliver a monologue.




‘So I unzipped my jeans and was fumbling around to get in the right position when Michael saw me.

‘He such a pro that he finished his speech but then said, “Are you a complete pervert?” The prank didn’t play out as I anticipated!’

So. Awkward.

Turns out pranks are really not his strong point, as he also admitted to a failed attempt to prank his kids which left them ‘freaked out’ and in tears.

He said: ‘I decided to take [my kids] to Disney World so sat them down and very seriously told them they would not be going to school.

‘When I finally told them why they weren’t too excited and freaked out because of my tone. My daughter cried and my son said he thought someone had died.’

Yeah maybe leave the punking up to Ashton Kutcher, Paul.
