This Morning fans were left asking 'what the...' as they watched Josie Gibson chat with Hollywood actor Paul Rudd. The presenter was back fronting the ITV daytime show for the last time this week on Thursday (February 16) alongside Dermot O'Leary.
But following her earlier appearance at the helm of the show on Wednesday, Josie left Dermot and headed off to speak to Paul about his latest Marvel blockbuster, Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania. As the hosting duo introduced the pre-recorded interview, viewers were treated to something a little different.
Before showing Josie deep in conversation the 53-year-old Anchorman star, Josie was seen with Dermot in the This Morning studio where she used her very own Ant utility belt to shrink herself and make her way across London to meet up with Paul for the chat in a hotel.
Those tuning in to the show watched as a mini Josie made her way out of the ITV building and to the location of her interview before having to return to normal size in order to carry on. But This Morning viewers wondered what they were watching.
@Lil_MissLioness said: "WTF is this segment now??? #ThisMorning." @ScottMoffett01 tweeted: "What the f**k have I just turned on? #ThisMorning." @TJScaverton complained: "Please don’t pretend act it’s one thing I can’t stand #ThisMorning."
But @EnfieldGarry commented: "A mini Josie, haha love it. #ThisMorning." @DavidMackayy shared: "God, give Josie a Bafta for this stellar performance #ThisMorning." @Stepharrnee added: "Lucky old Josie. Love Paul Rudd #ThisMorning."
Others were more distracted by Paul, who was given a classic brew with biscuits to dunk in, and flocked to social media to comment. @JimmyFunky said: "He ages like a fine wine #ThisMorning." @Auntie_Dana wrote: "Not bad for a 53 year old #ThisMorning." @dstewart1810 added: "Say what you like about This Morning, but where can you get Big Brother 11 Winner (and all round ray of sunshine, btw) @Josiestweet interviewing Hollywood superstar and 2021's World's Sexiest Man, Paul Rudd?! What a world."
Josie shared a picture of the pair on Instagram on Wednesday evening after meeting with Paul. She typed in the caption: "So This just happened! Catch my interview with the one and only Paul Rudd about his new Antman movie Quantumania. The man is an absolute Legend!"
And the comments and compliments for both Josie and Paul came flooding in. The official This Morning Instagram account replied: "We need whatever Paul Rudd is having, because that man just doesn’t age!!" Chef and food writer Maunika Gowardhan replied: "Josie you look [fire] I hope he’s fangirling you!"
@maryconneely wrote: "Omg omg omg. JEALOUS!!! Can't wait to see this. No better woman to interview him too. You're so natural and fun." @gillyjelly7 said: "Omg literally the man that never ages!! I'm ridiculously jealous right now." @amy_blushbeauty added: "I love Paul Rudd! Ages magnificently."
