“He lived in an apartment complex that was so bad,” Rudd said, referring to Bo, whom he sincerely called “an awesome roommate” and someone he remains friends with today.

“He let me stay in his apartment because I didn’t even have, really, the money to get an apartment,” Rudd explained to hostSeth Meyers. “And I slept on towels in his kitchen.”

But his makeshift towel bed was short-lived. TheGhostbusters: Afterlifestar told Meyers he eventually moved into his own apartment in the same complex after he “scrounged” enough money together to afford the place.

Rudd continued, “I thought, ‘Sweet! Free mattress.’ So I just took it up to my room, and then I slept on it.”

The actor was in for an unpleasant surprise after his first night on the mattress, revealing, “And then the next morning I woke up covered in red bumps.”

He asked, “How’s that for Sexiest Man Alive, huh?”

Rudd’s latest quip about being named this year’s Sexiest Man Alive comes after he joked about the honor in a Nov. 22 PEOPLE cover story.

“I do have an awareness, enough to know that when people hear that I’d be picked for this, they would say, ‘What?’ " he said. “This is not false humility. There are so many people that should get this before me.”

He added, “I’m hoping now that I’ll finally be invited to some of those sexy dinners with Clooney and Pitt andB Jordan,” referring to Sexiest Man Alive past honorees.

“And I figure I’ll be on a lot more yachts. I’m excited to expand my yachting life. And I’ll probably try to get better at brooding in really soft light. I like to ponder,” Rudd said. “I think this is going to help me become more inward and mysterious. And I’m looking forward to that.”
