Canadian Super Bowl champion Laurent Duvernay-Tardif says he didn't realize the familiar-looking guy hanging around as his team celebrated was Paul Rudd

SHARELaurent Duvernay-Tardif, the Quebec-native-turned-McGill-medicine-graduate-turned-Swas back in Montreal on Sunday, saying his journey was "unbelievable" and "crazy."

Duvernay-Tardif was in a playful mood. When one reporter asked what it felt like playing in the Super Bowl with billions of people watching after playing to just 1,000 people while a member of the McGill Redmen, he deadpanned those crowds were actually just 500 people.In the days before and after the Super Bowl there was an outpouring of love from all corners of the province for the football player. Duvernay-Tardif said the full extent of LDT Mania hasn’t quite sunk in yet.

"I got in last night and I went to get some food across the street from where I live and there were probably four or five cars that rolled down the windows and went 'LDT! This is awesome!' I was dressed up because it was like -20 outside and was like 'How did they recognize me?'"
