Mark Ruffalo smoked a giant blunt
Mark Ruffalo recalls crossing the line during one of the performances when he had to smoke a joint. The MCU actor states that it was the opening night with a lot of critics and he was performing with a very “naughty” young actor who slipped a joint onto the prop table. Ruffalo took a huge blunt without realizing it wasn’t a prop, and then he says, “We smoked a giant blunt on stick and I’m like, Why is that dude standing backstage laughing at me?”
“I was doing a play and during the play, I had to smoke a joint on stage and one of my cast members actually put a real joint, It’s wrong on so many levels. I came off stage and that’s where I think I found the Hulk for the first time. But I was also very slow so I couldn’t catch him. That was the worst thing.”
The young actor who placed the joint on the prop table was backstage laughing at Mark Ruffalo. The Shutter Island star goes on to say that he earned the best performance reviews of his career at the end of the play.
