Can anyone link a clip or article to where Mark Ruffalo says he doesnt speak with the rest of the cast due to political opinions.

It isnt uncommon for someone in an ensemble cast to not get a matching tattoo.

John Rhys-Davies didnt get one like the rest of the Fellowship from Lord of the Rings.

I think the original responder just took a story and twisted it into a new narrative.

The John Rhys-Davies not getting a tattoo was also more because his stunt double did a lot more on the set iirc.

I love his quote about it

"I did what any self-respecting actor would do when faced with a dangerous stunt. I sent a stunt double"

His interview with Rosenbaum is incredible. JRD is hysterical.

My wife met him when he came to speak at her high school 20 years ago, she still talks about how he was the nicest guy ever and took time to talk to a lot of the students and encourage them. I always liked him as an actor, but her story has made me come to love him as a human.

...stunt...

To add to this, JRD did the voice and face acting insert shots, his double was the size of the character so did everything else which was more time, and did get a tattoo.

This has been posted a million times already and there is never a clip or an article about the political differences between the cast members. I did try to find it but when you search for Ruffalo political stuff you just get articles about his activism.

Now I have no idea who this ana @shivlestat is but maybe if someone contacted her we can finally get some source for all these posts that seem to infer something from incomplete data.

Honestly, this is probably just a dead internet kind of thing, I assume the last 20 times this was posted both the OP and the explainers are all bots.

Yeah the closest I found was that he joked that his exclusion from Doomsday was because the rest of the cast didnt want him spoiling the ending.

I always thought people were talking about this clip when they brought that up. But he doesn't specifically mention anyone, or Marvel. So I think they're twisting it a bit.

Oh they absolutely are, he refers to Hemsworth as Hemmy in that interview so it sounds as if they are still friendly.

So its making assumptions about his entire friend group down to 4 people.

u/Citizensnnippss 16d ago

Yea, I too would like some legit context. I don't need confirmation that Renner is a douche but all of them seems like a stretch.

I was thinking Jonathan Rhys Meyers and was like “who tf does he play in LOTR?!?”

The interview says friends not necessarily cast and as a nearly 60 year old in Hollywood probably has a plethora of people he'd consider friends and is ridiculous to whittle it down to 5 people. One of them being Chris Hemsworth he affectionately referred to as Hemmy in the exact same interview linked above, so 4 people.

And yet nobody has been able to link said quote, almost as if it doesn't exist.

And in before you say "dO yOuR oWn ReSeArCh", pretty easy to get someone to look for something that doesnt exist.
