When Paul Rudd got 'red bumps' after sleeping on dumpster mattress during struggling phase

Paul Rudd recently made headlines for being named People magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive.' However, before making it big in Hollywood, the actor did not have the best journey. So much so, that he did not have the money to buy a good apartment, furniture or a new car. 

During this phase, the Ant-Man star used to live with his friend, who would also drop him at work. Paul recalled that he eventually managed to get his own apartment, but did not have furniture for it. He remembered sleeping on a dumpster mattress at this time and waking up with bumps.

He shared that his roommate, whom he has been friends with since school, used to drive him to work at that time since his car would always in the repair shop. The friend also agreed to drop Paul at 5 in the morning, by agreeing on a deal that he could breathe into Paul's face for a minute during the journey, since Paul used to hate his 'terrible' morning breath.
