Rudd: Nicholson "oozes confidence"

Paul Rudd has praised his How Do You Know co-star Jack Nicholson.

In an interview with ShortList, the actor said that the triple Oscar winner makes an instant impression.

"[Nicholson] is absolutely the most confident, most charismatic, biggest thing to walk in the room, and he has been for most of his life," he told the magazine. "He oozes confidence, he's cool, he's striking. Women get a little weak-kneed around him."

Rudd, who plays Nicholson's son George in the film, also explained what attracted him to the role.

"I think [George] is an ethical guy," he added. "One of the things I loved about him was the things James Brooks (the film's writer/director) wrote for me to say. Nobody talks like that. It's a kind of heightened Forties speak."

How Do You Know is out now in the UK and the US.
