SNL Skit: One Direction's Biggest Fan Starring Paul Rudd and One Direction
Posted on December 8, 2013
Paul Rudd hosted Saturday Night Live and did a fabulous job. One Direction was the musical guest for the night and participated in the monologue (which is not online, unfortunately) and this hilarious skit.
Paul plays Dan Charles, an adult married man who is the band's #1 fan. He joins the crowd of preteen girls, trading trivia about the band, discussing who is their favorite band member, and braiding hair.
When the band shows up to sign some autographs, Charles knocks the girls aside to get close to his idols.
Best line: when one girl says she going to marry Zayn, Charles sidles up to her and says "I'm sorry to tell you this, but I know what Zayn is into, and it's definitely not you."
Time praised Rudd's performance:
Oh, Paul Rudd. We know you’re a great actor and everything, but the passion for One Direction just didn’t feel like acting. It felt real.
