51 | !Tropes |
52 | * CannotKeepASecret: Out of all MCU actors, he's easily the second-worst offender after Creator/TomHolland, most notably when he [[https://twitter.com/i/moments/918274530182815744 accidentally bootlegged]] ''Film/ThorRagnarok''. It got to the point where he received multiple, completely different scripts during the filming of ''Endgame'' as a precaution by Marvel Studios just in case he accidentally spoiled something. |
53 | * CarpetOfVirility: His chest hair is well-known. |
54 | * DeadpanSnarker: His characters are often this and it only adds to how endearing they are. |
55 | * DyeingForYourArt: His dual role as twins in ''Series/IKnowThisMuchIsTrue'' where after filming all the bits as one character, he took a break then put on 13 pounds to play the other. |
56 | * EarAche: As a result of having his acoustic neuroma (a type of brain tumor) removed, he's currently deaf in his left ear. |
57 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: [[http://markruffalo.tumblr.com/post/108275814510/get-a-load-of-paul-rudd-as-ant-man-im-looking His fanboying]] over Creator/PaulRudd is now well-known. |
58 | * PromotedFanboy: Like his predecessor and friend Creator/EdwardNorton, he is a fan of ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' before playing said character in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. By the following year, Ruffalo became the first actor to play Banner in more than one theatrical movie. |
59 | * RealitySubtext: |
60 | ** In ''Film/TheKidsAreAllRight'', he incorporated many of his younger brother's personality traits into his performance. His brother had been shot to death in an unsolved homicide a few years prior, and he has stated he regarded the character as a way to [[DueToTheDead pay tribute]] to his brother. |
61 | ** For ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', he has stated he was extremely hesitant about taking the role of Bruce Banner. He called Creator/RobertDowneyJr for advice, who convinced him to take the part. He ended up kicking ass as Banner/Hulk. This is amusingly similar to their characters' relationship in the movie. |
62 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech : His Tumblr dressing-down of the "I Am Not A Feminist" [[http://markruffalo.tumblr.com/post/114661084940/my-response-to-the-i-am-not-a-feminist-internet Internet trend]]. |
63 | * SoMyKidsCanWatch: Supposedly this was one of the reasons he took on the role of Bruce Banner in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''. Unfortunately, it [[SubvertedTrope backfired,]] with his daughters terrified to see their father turn into an [[BuffySpeak enormous green rage-monster]] and try to kill people. |
64 | * UnkemptBeauty: As many a [[http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/infinitely-polar-bear-2015 film]] [[http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/begin-again-2014 review]] has pointed out, ''nobody'' pulls off the rumpled-curls-and-bedroom-eyes aesthetic quite like this man. |
65 | * VSign: Frequently does it in his photos. |
66 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
67 | ** Was originally the CoolUncle in ''Film/{{Signs}}'' but backed out due to surgery. The surgery was successful and he fully recovered since then. |
68 | ** Also turned down the role of [[PlayingAgainstType David]] [[IdenticalStranger Koresh]]. |
69 | ** [[invoked]] He auditioned to play the role of ComicBook/DoctorDoom in the 90s version of Film/TheFantasticFour, but was rejected. Had he gotten the part, he would've joined the ranks of Creator/ChrisEvans, Creator/LaurenceFishburne, Creator/MichaelBJordan, Creator/AlexHydeWhite, and Creator/JulianMcMahon[[note]]Johnny Storm in the [[Film/FantasticFour2005 2005-2007 movies]], the voice of the Silver Surfer in the 2007 movie, Johnny Storm in [[Film/FantasticFour2015 the 2015 movie]], Reed Richards in the 1994 movie, and Doctor Doom in the 2005-2007 movies, respectively[[/note]] as Fantastic Four Alumni who later joined the MCU[[note]]Evans went on to play [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Steve]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Ro]][[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar gers]], Fishburne went on to play [[Film/AntManAndTheWasp Bill Foster/Goliath]], Jordan went on to play [[Film/BlackPanther2018 Killmonger]], Hyde-White was in an episode of ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', and [=McMahon=] went onto play [[Series/Runaways2017 Jonah]][[/note]]. |
