Paul Rudd's career has only gone from strength to strength over the last two decades, and after he starred in a number of beloved comedies like "Anchorman" and "This is 40," he also joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Scott Lang in "Ant-Man."

And it's fair to say that the 53-year-old star has appeared on plenty of movie posters in that time.

But in a clip from the upcoming episode of "Sunday Today with Willie Geist," Rudd said that his son Jack originally thought he worked in a movie theater because he'd seen his father on a poster.

The star explained that he never told his children what he did for a living, saying: "I'm not going to sit my kids down when they're 3 and say, 'You know, hold on… I got some DVDs to show you.' I really didn't even explain what I did [for work]."

The actor then recalled that his son thought that he worked in a movie theater because he and his friends saw Rudd on a poster in the lobby of the theater they went to.

He explained: "I think that my son, when he was about 4 or 5, went to a movie theater to see a movie with his friends. There was a movie poster that I was on. It was in the lobby. So they all just thought that I worked at the movie theater, which I thought was very cute."

Rudd went on to say that his son eventually figured out that he was a movie star, adding: "I think when he was 15, he finally put it all together."

The star also joked that he "never corrected him" and let the joke continue by telling him, "No, I work at the AMC Loews."

Rudd can be seen on posters for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" at the moment, but he recently told Insider that he has "no idea" what his MCU future looks like.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" arrives in theaters on February 17.
