Well, this regret doesn’t have to do anything with the show, but rather due to a personal feeling that he had at the time. During his recent conversations on Heart Breakfast Radio Show, the 40 Year-Old Virgin star said that he just didn’t feel like he was supposed to be there when everyone was getting emotional during the filming of the last episode, while he just sat back and looked toward the end, waiting for the camera to stop rolling. He said:
“It was really fun and they were great,” he said, continuing: “The whole thing was a bit surreal to be a part of that. I came really near the end. I never knew I was going to be in as many as I was. But it also felt strange. I was in that last episode and I thought ‘I shouldn’t be here, I’m getting a front row seat to things I’m not supposed to see’. They were all crying, it was all emotional. I felt very privileged but I was like ‘oh I just want to sit back here and not get in the way’.”
Even though Rudd wasn’t able to make the same kind of emotional connection with his co-stars, he was still very much a part of the show at the end.
