So, we all know that Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd are close friends — but exactly how close are they?
AND, given his recent viral interview on Conan O'Brien's farewell show, we all know how much Paul loves pulling a good prank — but just how far is he willing to go to execute one?

Well, this week, we got answers to both of those questions when, unprompted and to our absolute delight, Seth tweeted out a story about one of Paul's pranks gone ridiculously wrong.*
Once I was in the spa in a hotel in Vegas getting a massage. When I finished I turned over and to my shock Paul Rudd was massaging me. He saw me go in and convinced the masseuse to let him take over, thinking I’d notice immediately. I didn’t, and Paul did the entire rest of it.
*Or right, depending on how you feel about your friends massaging you.
"Once I was in the spa in a hotel in Vegas getting a massage," Seth wrote. "When I finished I turned over and to my shock Paul Rudd was massaging me."
"He saw me go in and convinced the masseuse to let him take over, thinking I’d notice immediately. I didn’t, and Paul did the entire rest of it."
There's so much to unpack here, like the fact that Seth never once noticed his massage wasn't being done by a professional, or that Paul — who could've stopped at any time and revealed it was him — was so committed to this prank that he just...gave his buddy a full massage without pause.
Naturally, fans were like...LOL:
@Sethrogen Just Paul Rudd slapping da back
Heck, even Looney Tunes got in on it:
@Sethrogen masseuse: uh sir you can’t go in there paul: trust me
And people were also quick to note that, for many, this isn't a mere "prank," but a dream come true:
@Sethrogen I’ve never wanted to be anymore more in any moment ever in the history of time, than I want to have been you, on that massage table.
And while Seth didn't make it clear when exactly this story happened or provide further detail, he did have this to say to any naysayers:
@thismyshow I’m sure Paul would confirm it.
However, since Paul is — unfortunately for all of us — not on Twitter, we're going to have to wait a little while longer for him to confirm or deny this very ~touching tale~.
So, uh, yeah. There ya have it! Get yourself a friend who's so committed to a prank, they're willing to give you a full-body massage without breaking character!
