If you saw "I Love You, Beth Cooper" over the weekend, then you know that along with Hayden Panettiere and Paul Rust, there's one other "star" in the high school rom com that got lots and lots of screen time: Paul's Spiderman underpants. The actor's alter-ego Dennis Cooverman winds showing off his Spidey covered bum after a series of unfortunate events, but Paul says it wasn't so easy to get those skivvies into the film in the first place. "Marvel wouldn't normally release their trademark Spiderman to be on the butt of a guy — of a skinny guy! — but the director, Chris Columbus, has a really great relationship with Marvel," Paul told Hollywood Crush. "So he just made a call and they were like, 'Sure!'"

Maybe it was all the planning involved in getting the underwear that has since made Paul protective of his memorable wardrobe piece. "[They are] actually in the top drawer of my dresser at home," he said. "I don't know why. I was like, I guess I should take these. Like as if they're going to put it in the Smithsonian or something!"
What did you think of his Spiderman underwear? Funny or embarrassing?
