Paul Rudd Was My Bat Mitzvah DJ


The Jewish Daily's Gabrielle Birkner show us footage of her Bat Mitzvah but more importantly the Dj is none other then Paul Rudd! First recognized as the adorable ex-stepbrother 'Josh' from the 1995 Alicia Silverstone movie Clueless, Paul Rudd can be seen here in his early 90's grunge boy attire.

The Mitzvah girl posted the following on The Jewish Daily -

The soft-spoken aspiring actor whom my mom and I met on the hunt for bat mitzvah DJs — I took an immediate liking to Rudd — turned out to be the perfect choice for the event. Rudd, donning a yellow tuxedo jacket, a ruffled shirt, shorts and Doc Martens, ably and energetically led us through all of the bat mitzvah staples: candle-lighting, Coke & Pepsi, toasts, limbo, “Hands Up,” challah-cutting and “YMCA.” And as the “Today” show-themed bat mitzvah party came to a close, he invited my friends onto the dance floor to sing a moving rendition of “That’s What Friends Are For.”

He’s come a long way, to be sure. The movie “Dinner for Schmucks” — in which Rudd stars alongside Steve Carrell — opened last weekend to a bevy of rave reviews. So I thought it would be a fitting time to share some footage of Rudd holding court at my bat mitzvah. That’s me, in the pink dress that I wrote about here, seeming to take the limbo way too seriously.
