Some unlikely footage surfaced over the weekend following the 2019 ‘Super Saturday Night’ concert.

Treasured comic and actor Paul Rudd, 49, was caught headbanging in a crowd among thousands of fans during the Foo Fighters’ pre-Super Bowl headline performance.

Much to Rudd’s pleasure, frontman Dave Grohl and co., plowed through a rocking rendition of The Ramones’ 1976 anthem, Blitzkrieg Bop.

As the crowd marvelled at the “mighty Foo,” it’s unlikely that the actor expected to be caught bopping along and having the time of his life.

Fortunately for everybody else, New York-based comic writer and director, Aaron Chewning captured the priceless footage and shared it to Twitter, writing, “Here’s Paul Rudd loving the hell out of the Foo Fighters show last night.”

After making an appearance on the NFL’s red carpet on Sunday, Rudd proved to be a big fan of the sport.

He took to Twitter to offer his condolences to his fellow Kansas City Chiefs fans.
