   • 2015 July 9, Hadley Freeman, “Paul Rudd on Ant-Man, being Hollywood’s go-to nice guy and growing up with English parents in Kansas”, in The Guardian‎:

     I’m not surprised that Rudd seizes on my accent – his parents were British Jews from Edgware and Surbiton, and while Rudd was born in New Jersey in 1969 and raised in the US, he was often in Britain as a kid to visit relatives in London’s less glamorous suburbs and Basingstoke.
