US actor Paul Rudd said it was "humbling" to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Rudd, 46 - who plays the worlds smallest superhero in Ant-Man - was joined by a slew of friends including Parks and Recreation star Adam Scott and Ant-Man co-star Michael Douglas.

He was also joined by his wife Julie Yaeger and their children Darby and Jack as he unveiled the 2,554th star in front of the historic El Capitan Theatre on the landmark mile-long strip.

The This is 40 actor couldn't stop smiling as he posed proudly alongside his star, before taking time to sign autographs for fans who had sat out to watch the honorary ceremony.

Speaking at the event Rudd told onlookers of his pride at being honoured with a star.

"I remember being a kid and walking this boulevard and reading the names and thinking about what so many other millions of people thought about, which is, 'Who's that?'," he said.

"The fact that millions of people are going to be able to now see me and ask that same question...is humbling beyond belief."

Earlier this week Rudd attended the Los Angeles premiere of Ant-Man where he was joined by Douglas, who plays Hank Pym in the latest Marvel installment and Evangeline Lilly who plays Hope Van Dyne.

Ant-Man is set for UK release on July 17.
