Mark Ruffalo may seem even more like his “ Avengers ” character after he revealed he used to struggle with Hulk-like anger issues. The calm, mild-mannered actor revealed, “I’m no stranger to that kind of anger and rage.” Ruffalo confides that:
“When I was a young actor, if you came to my apartment, you would have seen pictures and photos hung in the most bizarre places, where they were covering holes in the wall from auditions that I didn’t get or slights that I felt I had suffered, where things were thrown, cups were thrown at the walls.”
Thankfully, “The Kids Are All Right” actor has learned to calm his rage over time. He goes on to say that:
“But over time, I’ve, like a rock that’s spent many times being tumbled around in the sea, I’ve sort of gotten the edges polished off of me. I’m not fighting the same fights that I was back then, the same demons.”
When speaking about the highly anticipated film, Mark Ruffalo says that he never saw himself as a superhero movie star, let along Bruce Banner/The Hulk. In trailers, the big green hunk of rage even sports a face resembling Ruffalo’s. The actor states of the resemblance that:
“It’s creepy, I have to say. It’s exactly what we wanted it to be like. Even my chest hair, the gray in my hair. Wow. It’s pretty amazing, but it’s a little shocking.”
Following the anticipation for Ruffalo to play The Hulk, Joss Wheadon revealed he would love to see a solo Hulk movie , despite two failed attempts to pleas Hulk fans. Mark Ruffalo says:
“I haven’t heard any talk about it from the producing side of the table, but people have been tweeting it. There’s been a campaign growing. I would be into doing it, I would think, if we could come up with the right story line. And if they want to see a 50-year-old Hulk. That might be the big thing. No one might want to see me doing this again.”
