[@monicayadav0891]

Mark always has a great Oscar story. I just couldn't stop laughing!

[@jorssu13]

well he better have some stories since he's nominated every year these days :D

[@Jiovi92]

He will win an oscar someday, he's such a great actor.

[@Pupsterization122]

No he's not

[@h_aididet4176]

+( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Yes he is

[@DANYXZ7]

Yes he is

[@Chaitanyack410]

He was a three time Oscar Nominee . It doesn't matter if he win in the future, he is a great actor already.

[@b4tm4n4we3om3]

he won an Oscar for spotlight

[@lynnturman8157]

Ha ha...so great to hear someone being honest about losing instead of "it was just an honor being nominated"

[@ftngie]

What an attractive man Mark Ruffalo is.

[@biro24]

Indeed

[@lmac7973]

he sure is. older men usually have more sex appeal than younger ones nowadays.

[@ghostreconfollow6736]

bet he scratches his ass abd smells it like I do

[@darkgate33]

+ghostrecon follow I don't think scratching your ass abd smelling makes you look good 🤓

[@patriziatofani72]

Absolutely !

[@YineTime]

"My tail!" omg hahahahaha

[@jeffreygong6678]

Mark Rylance's performance in Bridge of Spies was definitely worth his Oscar.

[@freddilake7116]

I have the biggest crush on Ruffalo

[@itskrisbtw7016]

Same. 😭

[@betto25cr]

same…

[@patriziatofani72]

Me too 😭😭😭

[@user-cr8qm5nj1d]

same

[@lCoolPartner]

Me 2 ..no homo. But he is so humble.

[@TheShivaniYadav]

God! Mark is so fun... I remember when I was watching the Oscars, the same thing happened. For a second there I was like YAY finally Mark Ruffalo :P

[@elfsong713]

Me too.

[@essjaymusic]

ae shivani tu lagti hai nani..😉

[@G17x]

hahahaha

[@naturehugger3350]

Mark is hubby material.

[@SpaceCattttt]

To his wife, yes. Back off, psycho.

[@DarkSpaceStudios]

lol

[@thegreenman4898]

to be fair,no shame in losing, mark rylance is universally acknowledged as a top class actor

[@alexmeyer5260]

And Rylance deserved that Oscar.

[@patrickbyrne5070]

Rylance is a special person. Even on a not really amazing movie with such incredible actors also nominated… he had that. I’m so glad more people know nowadays but he’s been around for decades

[@PopeLando]

From the title I thought it was about him being modest comparing himself to Rylance (or even the opposite!), not because they almost have the same name.

[@Monkcare]

he did a wonderful job in spotlight and you should be ashamed of yourself

[@Monkcare]

Xenial Xerus DC butthurt are you? :)

[@Kareragirl]

Out of all the unnecessary things to fight about in the world... lol

[@salicemccool9268]

I thought the same, +PopeLando. Maybe we're alike in that I (at least) tend not to inwardly-verbalize what I read; I just "see" it - otherwise I would have understood.

[@pointbreak4490]

HEE IS SOOOOO COOOL

[@pointbreak4490]

Oh oh! Hater alert

[@pointbreak4490]

Lol fuck off smartass

[@RudolphCookie]

Mark Ruffalo looks a lot like that green guy from that superhero movie...

[@alphatechfaizan6828]

let's see if anyone takes the b8

[@burntyper]

you mean kick ass?

[@SquirtleTime]

Mr marvel?

[@emmagraham5813]

You mean batman?

[@NiekBrokkelkoek]

Wasn't he carying a lantern?

[@heybigsplendour]

Omg same! I still remember watching Ruffalo's reaction during that moment and it was so cruel! :( You deserve one buddy, all in due time...

[@juuuu0]

Every time he's here there's gotta be an Oscar story😂😂😂

[@RonaldoCR-fi9nk]

Mark Rylance was damn goos in that movie. He was just perfect

[@frerardforever5445]

Mark Rylance is an amazing actor

[@trifien007]

I'm still disappointed that Ruffalo didn't win for best supporting actor. He completely transformed himself in Spotlight without over acting. I was blown away by his performance more than anyone else nominated for any best actor or actress, supporting or lead.

[@anniep5393]

He totally looks like he's holding a cigarette in the thumbnail

[@snoopygirl7498]

He does😂

[@shamshirhussain8198]

Lol damn

[@seaneredia5199]

Where are you hiding hulk?!

[@sunduril4166]

he's on his way to Starlord :O

[@oskar8641]

The perfect hulk!!!! Can't wait to see him in Thor Ragnarok!!!!

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

Me too!!

[@daboy380]

Nah, Eric Bana was great

[@Nafon]

You serious?

[@daboy380]

Yea man, I dont like the new characters they put up. I like the original Hulk, the original spiderman and so on.

[@ratlaxautrai]

Eric Bana's Hulk was a cartoon character, and I'm not talking about the CGI

[@bar___]

Because of the similar name? I thought he'd feel awkward because of Rylance's far superior acting skills...

[@zayxo1495]

Far superior? Don't think so

[@prot2212]

Savage is savage....

[@christiangay793]

Rylance was very good, but in my opinion Ruffalo was better.

[@xxviciousbeautyxx]

+Xenial Xerus Seriously? Wow that was disrespectful and childish. Also Mark Ruffalo has been acting in other movies way before Marvel.

[@painful1978]

he is an icon.. winning the Oscar or not.. I like his acting style

[@patrickbyrne5070]

Especially for investigative procedurals- he nails it, scratches that itch. Brilliant and very likeable actor. But honestly.. he’s no Rylance. But very very few are.

[@GoGxGAMING101]

Damn. His beard is the same color as the mic on the desk..

[@bigcheezhed]

Hey, you know your colors!

[@StarCrusher.]

Damn.

[@HABO2210]

Damn.

[@devilazoz]

wow mind blowing!

[@helenemba7953]

Damn.

[@daehwii]

HIS REACTION WAS SO CUTE

[@ivosmiley]

He's so hot I'm crying.

[@fenielle5040]

Mark Ruffalo is gold.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

One of my favorite movies of his is 'Just like Heaven', with Reese Witherspoon.

[@ma.jonaorozco7310]

When I was a kid, I thought Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth as ideal man, then I grew up and realized that Mark Ruffalo is my Ideal Man 😍😍

[@XepH2o0]

I think his eyes had an argument

[@TheJoselynviera]

So handsome ❤❤❤

[@Mrmoviefan123]

Back in 1981, Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall were in the Best Actor category at the Oscars (Robert De Niro for Raging Bull and Robert Duvall for The Great Santini) with Robert De Niro winning. I wonder if Robert Duvall felt the same or a similar way to how Mark says he felt in this video.

[@axr7149]

Similar thing happened for Best Actress 1989. Jessica Lange and Jessica Tandy were nominated in the same year (Tandy won).

[@ivyr.8429]

axr714 It's not exactly the same with them, because their surnames don't start with the same letter.

[@Hannibal307]

Same with Jack Lemmon and Jack Nicholson to which Lemmon won. 1973 Oscars. 😂😁

[@WalterLiddy]

He could easily have won - his performance in Spotlight was as good as any that year.

[@JohnLutherable]

if you look at every thumbnail for every Mark Ruffalo at Fallon video on KZbin, he's in the exact same pose doing the exact same face across the years

[@milleiam]

I love Mark Ruffalo so much ❤️

[@hthbean]

I have not seen anything like this in a really long time it was really cool

[@thegirlwithglasses3153]

I got so excited when they said Mark R..." I started screaming then my dad was like " Ruffalo lost."

[@nothing.lasts.forever]

😂

[@lefinlay]

Rylance did deserve it tbf 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@alxsotoa]

COME ON... I just watched 3 videos of Mark Ruffalo on the show and ALL 3 of them Jimmy said "oh, sorry, you lost"... D:

[@ericamendes2970]

alxsotoa jimmy always talk about that..

[@ary9109]

Ruffalo makes me question why they castes Norton in the first place

[@felixmendelssohn991]

Because it was a dark movie and Norton suits with dark movies.

[@nothing.lasts.forever]

Ruffalo was director's 1st choice for that 1st Hulk movie

[@sashabusawon9018]

0:45 his hulk mode went on 😉😂

[@Maya-pv7rf]

I just love that guy so much... He seems so much fun

[@nimmi3361]

i love this guy! mark 😍

[@HazalBulutTV]

jesus he is so damn fine

[@cierra6940]

you can tell he is very proud of this film and that makes me very happy

[@leahhart5208]

Gotta love Mark😂

[@Prettygirlcn5]

He's so adorable :)

[@Mrmoviefan123]

Also, I wonder if the same thing's happened with just the first syllable of an actor's first name. For example, when Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence were both up for Best Actress in 2013 (Jessica for Zero Dark Thirty and Jennifer for Silver Linings Playbook) with Jennifer winning.

[@TheVintageRomance]

Everytime i read Ruffalo, i just start screaming "Rufio Rufio Rufio!!!!!!" For no explained reason

[@domtamtidam]

The movie "Hook" with Robin Williams! 😉

[@TheVintageRomance]

+domtamtidam you know it! 😉

[@dilchuranevale]

finally, someone who thinks like me 🙌

[@faboze]

RUFI-OOOOOOOOOH

[@tanusreesaha6722]

Is it just me or is Mark Ruffalo getting sexier and more handsome 😍

[@Marqueeshutdown]

Such a cool guy

[@tajahgirl]

He's so attractive.

[@onelove41]

He's so happy.

[@tilvishalom]

He NEEDS to do an Andrea Bocelli biopic

[@nafissailboudo9109]

I like how he jokes about losing the nomination. Btw, am i the only one attracted to the guy? Too bad he's married😔

[@lois78]

He is so fit

[@atakan2713]

God, he's the sweetest

[@jasveenkaurgatohora2952]

Aww my baby mark

[@paulaberg4280]

I just love then both

[@drkonarakusumarathna9817]

Go Mark!! The perfect guy for Hulk!!!

[@zendynasty3386]

He works well with Jimmy Fallon. 😭❤

[@saralovesmusic100]

I knew they were going to win. Spotlight and The Danish Girl were my picks for everything. amazing.

[@joycerodrigues1351]

oh he's amazing

[@larasophia5422]

mark is just a little angel.

[@esencianorma9534]

OMG!! I love you Mark Ruffalo !! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@daehwii]

I love him. I love him to bits.

[@felixalmeida481]

A great actor, a very bright, witty guy and one hellova hunk. God, he’s gorgeous!

[@nixblit]

i love mark so much

[@elizaheathen]

I love this man

[@mrsenor5233]

I was worried he would get a little angry...

[@Jessi-fh9bz]

OMG can Fallon just let someone tell their own story!

[@jiminnie8538]

Mark Ruffalo is awesome XD

[@singlepikachu4501]

Stanley Tucci was the real winner that night. He held Mark’s inner thigh... God some people really have it all!

[@helene6686]

1:10 HE BOUTA GO HULK

[@thefiles2501]

Holy shit, he talks and sounds so much different than when hes a character in a movie... yall know what i mean?

[@TokinTaylor]

I think that's because he's playing a role and not being himself when he's in movies lmao

[@patriziatofani72]

Yes ! I was thinking the same while i was watching a movie with him tonight. Totally A different voice !

[@nothing.lasts.forever]

Great actors do that

[@quentinscorsese6928]

He was talking like woody Harrelson in the beginning it felt like

[@luvforjisoo]

oh god I love him so much !!!!!

[@WheelyamEakaPEBBLES]

Great movie was Spotlight.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

Yoda are you?

[@CJayin]

If you haven't seen Spotlight you need to change that.

[@saberkix]

Lol his voice doesn't make you think he could play hulk.

[@compalugo9042]

wym? hulk doesn't talk lmao

[@compalugo9042]

wym? hulk doesn't talk lmao

[@saberkix]

+sebastian lugo Bruce banner* His voice in deeper in the movies

[@minhquandai1754]

Welcome to the eye

[@Abbaddonna]

[@bonbon2225]

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Mark is HILLARIOUS!)

[@DarrenBurch]

Brilliant show. :))

[@larrywesco6642]

Is That Bill Leatherface Johnson on Jimmy Fallon Show?

[@christopherd.1200]

Hello- Ruffalo is incorrect about Spotlight not winning any Oscars before it won Best Picture. it also won Best Original Screenplay.

[@MsSHINeeTVXQSuju]

[@danielmcgee3845]
