Fan-Favorite '90s Heartthrob Hasn't Changed 31 Years Later in Reunion With Former Costar
Cher's stepbrother and her snobby classmate are back together, decades later.
Paul Rudd and Jeremy Sisto, who both appeared in the 1995 teen classic Clueless, have reunited for a new movie 31 years on, and Sisto says his old co-star has not changed a bit. "Paul was really the same guy that I met all those years ago," Sisto, 51, said. He praised Rudd, 57, for the grounded warmth and generosity he brings to a set.
How They Knew Each Other From 'Clueless'
The two actors did not actually share any scenes in Clueless. Rudd played the stepbrother and eventual love interest of Cher (Alicia Silverstone), while Sisto played Elton, Cher's status-obsessed classmate. The pair represented opposite value systems back then, Sisto noted, and three decades later they are playing far more complicated characters.
Rudd felt the nostalgia too, saying the history the two share made the reunion special. "It really is something to treasure," he said. Off screen, Rudd and Sisto are longtime friends.

What 'Rain Reign' Is About
The reunion comes by way of Rain Reign, an indie drama that premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 6. Sisto plays a struggling single father to a neurodivergent tween who loses her dog, and Rudd plays the girl's loving uncle who helps search for it. Rudd's wife, Julie Rudd, produced the film, which does not yet have a release date.
For a generation that grew up quoting Clueless, seeing two of its stars reunite three decades later is a full-circle moment.
