Mark Ruffalo Reveals How 'Poor Things' Brought Out His Dormant Inner Rogue: “I’m So Sick Of Being So Well-Behaved”
It’s fair to say that prior to his Poor Things role, Ruffalo’s credits are littered with likeable men: Jen Garner’s lovely best friend Matt in 13 Going on 30; the right-side-of-justice Inspector Toschi in Zodiac; real-life environmental activist Rob Bilott in Dark Waters; the abuse-exposing journalist Mike Rezendes in Spotlight … Even his Marvel franchise Hulk is deeply loveable. And somehow, Ruffalo’s eye-roll-y physical comedy, his timing, his olde-worlde plummy English accent and puppy-dog pathos, even his dancing in an unforgettable ballroom scene, complement Stone’s unabashed Bella.
