The Tragic Real-Life Story Of Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo has had a steady rise to his acting career in Hollywood. He’s proof that you don’t need flash and style to make it in Hollywood but just good old hard work and talent.
Ruffalo’s career has seen him weave seamlessly through indie and blockbuster big-budget projects while keeping his feet on the ground. However, Ruffalo has experienced his fair share of tragedy and obstacles while navigating through Hollywood.
The star of The Avengers has battled with poverty and loss. It's surprising that he’s still the humble movie star we all know today. To find out more about Mark Ruffalo's tragic real-life story, watch this video.

What are your opinions on Mark after watching our video?

[@wwbuirkle]

The same as before a big douche bag

[@JulianoHuerta]

I'm an actor as well and suffer from anxiety and crippling depression. He gives me hope . He's also one of my favorite actors.

[@lolz_xoxo]

I have always liked him since I first saw him in 13 going on 30 as a quiet and composed character he played... I follow him already for his fight for the social cause regarding the drilling issue. this video has just increased my respect for him

So did Chris Evans who battled anxiety his entire life. I'm glad Marvel chose real life heroes to play heroes on the screen. They represent themselves, and truthfully play themselves on the big screen. They're all heroes. I love the casting choice, they all deserve the spotlight and wealth now.

I went to high school with Mr. Ruffalo's son, though I never really hung out with the kid because he was a couple grades below me. During an accepted students event, he came. I spoke to him with my teacher about an exchange program in France. This teacher was also the chaperone and I talked about it with Ruffalo. I spoke about how I had to teach the chaperone on how to drive stick. Ruffalo was genuinely intrigued. He didn't brush us off or nothing. For someone who was a famous celebrity to not brush us off but to just be there as an open ear was just amazing. He isn't like the typical Hollywood A-list actor, he's humble and genuine, that's what I liked about him.

Humble are you fucking kidding me ??? Wow all these responses are from people who are flaming lefties I guess. He is a typical lefty who tells others how they should live their lives. He is the same as all of the other idiots in Hollywood who were shills of Hillary. Yeah ya know the lady who used to blow Bill and that made her presidential material according to the dem party. Now you fucking tools want Michelle or Oprah to run. Hillary, Moochie and Oprah don't have 1% of the business knowledge Trump has. Don't you all realize Trump won because he isn't PC and says the shit many of us would like to say. So sick of the PC pandering by Bernie and Hillary.

I had the same exact brain tumor Mark had: acoustic neuroma, left-side, 5cm x 5cm (golf ball sized), but even worse because the growth caused fluid build-up in my brain (hydrocephalus) which required a shunt installed and an additional surgery. I now live with left-side deafness, constant double vision, facial numbness, shrill tinnitus and residual headaches from what is called "over-shunting" where too much fluid is pumped out of the skull creating a decrease of pressure, resulting in the billowing or expansion of brain tissue. I am a bass guitarist ( I once read that Mark also played bass) and was a hard working musician as this problem developed over the course of 4-5 years. The surgery (15.5 hours) left me not only half-deaf but somewhat impaired on my right-side from brain compression. While I can still play, it is not the same. I'm not as fast or dexterous as was before. I was also a very good illustrator. I can't draw anymore. That feeling and control that was meditative and autonomous is gone. My penmanship has also been trashed. From the neck up, I'm a total wreck, but ironically, from the neck down I'm good to go and am in pretty good shape. I truly empathize with what he went through.

Jason Peng because suffering breaks the shell of the ego. When the ego isn't in control, the truest, purest self shines. And damn, this is an amazing example.

[@rorysanderson3462]

thats bullshit. Stop romanticising peoples struggles

[@Jay9966]

Or they break, more often then not, they break. So, don't talk like a shitty life is like a good thing to have.

[@lorenzobaxter]

A shitty life is illusional. Control is also an illusion. We have the power to shape our lives and destinies, but we can't just make everything happen because we want it. That's real bullshit. Suffering doesn't exist because of "the all mighty forces of evil and darkness" it is meant to transform you into a better version of you. We live in a materialistic world where people are power hungry, and we'll do anything to get it, at the ultimate expense of everyone. That power hungry part of us is also the same part of us that shuts down when any type of bad stuff happens to us. The ego. It thinks life is perfect, it's not. Not at all. Fear is a side effect of ego. Once it's gone, all that power and money you thought you wanted are gone. You could care less. The part of you that "breaks down" is a literal battle within your own mind. The pure self part, and the fearful, fake part built up by parents and society. So if you can get through the process of suffering, like Mark has, the ego loses control, and a much more pure self shows. Just don't let the veil of the ego block you.

[@Jay9966]

+Lorenzo Baxter If you think you sound smart. you're not, you can't even present real points in your wall of text and you keep contradicting yourself. TL;DR You either suck at expressing your points, or you literally are a kid who watches too many movies and think that he is smarter than others. 1) You say "A shitty life is illusional" then you went and say " Suffering doesn't exist because of "the all mighty forces of evil and darkness" it is meant to transform you into a better version of you." So you say it is just an illusion, but then you say it actually exists? Pick one and stick with it please. 2) You say "Control is also an illusion" then right away, you say " We have the power to shape our lives and destinies" So you're implying that we have no control but we can still choose what we want to do with our lives? No, that actually contradicts the meaning of having no control. Having no control means you can't choose whether you want to eat apples or oranges, because there are only oranges. 3)We live in a materialistic world where people are power hungry, and we'll do anything to get it, at the ultimate expense of everyone. I don't think you get the meaning of power that we humans want, power over others is power, authority is power. You don't have power when there's no one left to reign over. So, your "expense of everyone" is vague and can be interpreted as "the sacrificing of every other human being", which is the only way I could interpret it and it contradicts the concept of power. 4) You say "That power hungry part of us is also the same part of us that shuts down when any type of bad stuff happens to us." This sentence literally makes no sense, so you stop being power hungry when shit happens to you? No, on the contrary, people crave power MORE when they are in a shitty situation, because shitty situations often induce feelings of helplessness and that will incite the will to acquire power which translates into being power-hungry. 5) The ego. It thinks life is perfect, it's not. Not at all. Fear is a side effect of ego. Once it's gone, all that power and money you thought you wanted are gone. You could care less. Do you even know what "ego" is? It's pretty similar to pride. Proud people or egoistic people generally lack fear because they are too proud to see it, because they think others below them and nothing can threaten them. Egoistic people do not think life is perfect, they'd more likely think that they're perfect. Why would craving for money and power be gone along with ego/fear? They are completely unrelated. 6)The part of you that "breaks down" is a literal battle within your own mind. The pure self part, and the fearful, fake part built up by parents and society. this is also near incomprehensible. so did whatever part of you you're talking about already break down or is it still in a literal battle? And do you know what literal means? A literal battle would be a sustained fight between large organized armed forces. That is what literal/literally means, it is not commonly used to stress/emphasize on scale or importance, it is just used to signify the reality of the word used after it. Are you trying to say that when faced with sufferings, our facades and our inner self will clash? that's not how shit works, that's not how humans work. 7) So if you can get through the process of suffering, like Mark has, the ego loses control, and a much more pure self shows. Just don't let the veil of the ego block you. Ego doesn't bar someone from showing his/her true self. And, ego is not a bad thing, you keep talking like ego is the poison of the human mind. It is not, ego, like any other thing in the world is beneficial in moderation, people with low ego suffers from the inability to see their own strengths, while people with too much ego suffers from the inability to see their own weaknesses. Alright, I don't really care if you read the whole thing or not, but hopefully you won't post further bullshit below.

[@vickyolmos6092]

Wow God bless him...😳

[@dcheverie]

You mean the bullshit documentary that's been debunked? Ruffalo is nothing but a typical hypocrite hollywood liberal. OIL IS BAD, has several mansions and big gas guzzling cars, flies everywhere, etc.

[@megashark1013]

D Cheverie He doesn't have multiple mansions and I don't think he has a driving license. You're speaking bilge.

[@elp1246]

I ALWAYS thought that Mark Ruffalo was gorgeous!!!! I am so very happy that his career is flourishing.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

Mark was one of my favorite actors already, but damn. I’m glad he was able to turn his life’s tragedies into motivators to live his best life.

[@BreakfastSnack]

There's so many nice celebrities with terrible backstories but they push through

[@SalveRegina8]

B S yes it’s very inspiring, especially in comparison to people who do terrible things to others, blaming their actions on their parents/upbringing or other challenging life circumstances.

[@tedmosbee7787]

Read Pom Klementieff's Wikipedia (she played Mantis in infinity war). It's filled with tragedy and deaths. I'm so happy for her now.

How can this man be so gorgeous? The hair, eyes, smile, voice, and that personality. Humble, sweet, smart, amazing...

[@justinrozario2003]

Here After Endgame & looking back, this guy is a True Hero!

[@purijohnston]

I have been a big fan of Mark eversince l saw him in that movie with Reese Witherspoon years ago. Aside from having a very pleasant & likeable personality, he's very good looking & a great actor. I hope that he'd win an Oscar Award one of these days coz he deserves the honor. It's heartbreaking to learn that he's been thru some tribulations in his life but Good Guys ALWAYS persevere. More power to you & lots of luck in everything you do. We, your faithful fans love you!!!

[@valerieworld]

he is the kindest most thoughtful celebrity i've ever met

[@garyenwards1608]

he supports hillary clinton and we all know hillary is also a thoughtful loving down to earth person so i know they are both thoughtful and wonderful. i just wish all those conspiracy tinfoil wearing kooks would stop saying hillary is corrupt. she is so not corrupt she is a supporter of many charities and a leading feminist activist. fighting for whats right in the homeland of america

[@Jack-rk7jc]

Edward LaFlamme She is corrupt. He supported her because he probably thought she was atleast better than Trump, which I also happen to believe would've been true. The lesser evil lol

[@thehandyman2180]

valerie e No one's perfect.

[@garyenwards1608]

i guess you've never heard of "the boys on the tracks" , "the clinton body count" , "The Clinton chronicles" or "clinton cash" or scratched past the thin veneer that is hillary clinton's mask. ever heard of spirit cooking? Hillary has plenty. I studied political science in college and i know a bit about history and political history and i can tell you i dont know of another pair of politicians in history with as much blood on their hands and moral vacancy as the clintons. maybe Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu?? i dont like trump i didn't vote for trump but i think you have it backwards on the lesser of two evils lahoool kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHSqiGNpaJJraMU

[@dee-nice0624]

Ruffalo is so so so soooooo underrated and it hurts my heart because he's so amazing, kind, caring, loving, he's an amazing actor, he rose from the bottom, he escaped death, he went through so much pain, so much loss, he supports so many good causes..... he's so fucking amazing!! Not to mention, he's absolutely adorable. I'd love to meet this man and just give him a well deserved hug and tell him that I aspire to be as positive and strong as him.

[@dee-nice0624]

[@davidomas3876]

Hello dear, how are you and your family doing with the pandemic issues?

[@markruffalo7543]

GREETINGS from the humble house how you are doing am mark Ruffalo I will like to exchange something with you if you don't mind!!

[@jjlovecraft3257]

I’m so in love with Mark Ruffalo

[@renatacantoregross6283]

Thank you for telling us this powerful story. This partially explains why he is such an amazing actor. Go bless him 🌹🕊

[@xenophonicus]

I didn’t think it was possible to actually like a celebrity, but I liked Mark Ruffalo and didn’t know 90% of this stuff. Usually the more you find out about a celebrity the less you like them, then you see something like this. I feel like he should get a lifetime achievement award or something. He’s like Keanu Reeves but he’s also a great actor.

[@porus3064]

You're saying Keanu Reeves isn't a good actor?

[@LairikPamminasi]

Keanu Reeves is a great actor dude

[@xenophonicus]

I see your "Point Break" and go all in with all his other movies. He's almost completely unemotional, he has the range of Derek Jeter (which is to say that of a cooking range). He's stone faced. But he's also pretty much the nicest most generous guy in Hollywood, and while Ruffalo may have surpassed him in niceness, I haven't heard of him buying an entire film crew motorcycles. Even people who work with him say he's the shyest person ever and they can tell he's very uncomfortable in a lot of scenes. These are actors who have actually acted with him. Not fans who like his movies (of which I like A LOT) who use that as a funnel for calling him a great actor.

[@ladysith7757]

I had the same tumor he had. I was diagnosed when I was 13 and had the surgery one month after diagnosis. I’m deaf in my right ear as a result of the tumor. The recuperation from acoustic neuroma surgery was not easy but I got thru it. Can completely sympathize with poor Mark.

[@ladysith7757]

Rigoberto Avila Thank you. I'm doing well actually other than being deaf in one ear but I function v well. Most people can't tell I'm deaf in one ear. :-)

[@kenjaku_]

Lady Sith77 did the brain tumor made you more angry?

[@gamesgames354]

Micah wtf

[@ladysith7757]

Byakuya Kυcнιкι No, not at all. It made me depressed because I was in pain and I had complications from the surgery which resulted in another hospitalization.

[@TbYolo]

This video changed my perception of Mark Ruffalo he seems like a kind and nice guy but to hear what he’s been through opens my eyes i have so much respect for Mark

[@mdxx12]

I love this guy so much. Such a humble, kind and likeable person. And he seems so sweet too. 💕

Lil Sandwich Those who live away from toxic Hollywood tend to have the most integrity...

[@XtremeKaiba]

I still Love him in 13 Going On 30, that is my feel good movie, not sure why but whenever I feel bad, I watch that. I do feel bad for the girl he doesn't marry in the movie, because she wasn't bad, but he just has to marry Jenny's character. I just like him though, because he is humble and kind, he doesn't let the fame get to him, maybe that is why I like the movie so much, his character in that is how I kind of see as his character in real life. Not many people are like that any more, humble and kind despite the bad things in life, like he acts in movies, but it is more like it is something that he just does well, all the people in his life mean more.

[@gavinbrown353]

his story isn't tragic it's triumphant and inspirational

[@Ilovecheese01]

It might be for you, but it was a nightmare for him dealing with all these problems

[@gavinbrown353]

ilovecheese yeah I know it was but a tragedy means that the story ends badly. This story doesn’t end badly it ends triumphantly. I’m not saying it wasn’t a horrible experience for him because it was I just don’t like how they named it tragic because it wasn’t.

[@Real_gandalf]

Its triumphant and inspirational....and tragic

[@adeliag5303]

He totally made ZODIAC.A brilliant and underrated movie. lncredible acting and depth to his performance.

Magnificent film, absolutely blinding. Also the crime drama with Ethan Hawke.

[@ellenmcintyre1247]

I love him so much. To go through all this, and never give up, all the while entertaining us with his awesome movies and performances. Underrated. If I ever meet him, I'm gonna give him a hug. 🤗

Wow this is very moving!! My heart goes out to him, so happy his face healed within a year. Keep going Mr. Ruffalo you're an amazing person :)

[@ajthefujoshi]

I may have not watched a lot of his films but for me, I can see and feel he is a great actor. Glad you made it back with all that.

[@gageohrn]

this couldn't have come at a better time. after finding out i have epilepsy and fracturing and dislocating both shoulders during a seizure, i was feeling pretty blue. after seeing what Mark as been through I'm feeling pretty blessed. what a champ :)

[@lorenzobaxter]

Gage Hanson ay epilepsy homie me too! I'm 17, nearly died from a rarely extended seizure... when I was fucking 12. So yeah, I'm a survivor, but damn it sucks I have it. My mom has epilepsy, so I guess the universe fucked me. #survivorstogether

[@gageohrn]

i;m really lucky, not getting this until 46 was both a nightmare and a blessing. its just frustrating that here in AUSTRALIA you are ban from driving for 6 months from you last fit. cant imagine what its like for you being so young with this. i hope it improves over time for you buddy :)

[@Adino1]

He really is the perfect guy to play Bruce Banner.

[@jonclarkson5911]

Adino1 The first guy was best for that.

[@Adino1]

Bill Bixby or Eric Bana ?

[@jonclarkson5911]

Adino1 Eric Bana. He was was like acting really close to a scientist/doctor. Bana was good. Bill Bixby is classic for the TV show. I've watched it every Friday nite after the Dukes of Hazzard. LOL

[@Adino1]

Yeah Bixby was my favorite and I actually agree with Bana. I also thought the first Hulk movie was superior to the MCU one, though that seems to be a minority opinion.

[@kenb2671]

Adino1 I actually liked Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in The Incredible Hulk. Also I liked Hulk with Bana and the one with Norton. Ruffalo is my least favorite Hulk and is just another Hollywood lib.

[@MrMarkstyles]

He is a real hero. He faces, and deals with the what life throughs at him. There are also a lot of people who do this and aren't famous. But I greatly admire him.

[@dirtburger8605]

Me too.

[@jeffreyelya9996]

Mark Ruffalo is one of those actors you never really notice until you watch him as the Hulk. It's kind of like, yeah, I know who he is, and then you start re-watching some of the more memorable movies that came out within the last fifteen years, and you spot him in the same way you're looking for Waldo in Martin Handford's drawings. He does bring a sweet-mannered persona that makes him great for chick flicks like, View From The Top, which he happens to play the boyfriend of Gwyneth Palthrow! No, I can relate to someone like him because I've battled several stages of severe depression, and I haven't really been able to pick myself up from it until the last year or so. That's what we call ironic that he has had anger issues for the actor who plays the Hulk. You see in the movies characters who are angry lash out, but you don't see very many actors play the character who's boiling w anger and hardly ever show it. I don't think what's helped him is completely bogus, but what helps me is to pick up my Bible and read passages like Romans 8, Psalms 91, Psalms 23, and all those places where we're reminded that God actually cares about us, and I know for a fact that reading the Bible does work. More power to ya, right???

[@MaeNotEast]

Jeffrey Elya, Oh, I noticed him before he played the Hulk. Boy,. did I ever notice him. ;-)

[@blackngoldcuttlefish3390]

I mean. I've never watched the Avengers, any of them. And I've liked Mark Ruffalo for a while now lol

[@karaa7595]

Jeffrey Elya I've seen most of his movies. Never the Hulk though.

[@controversialchristian2378]

Amen, through Jesus we can find the Promised Land, brother. God bless. I'm intimate with severe depression, suffering and long term ill health, too. In Jesus alone I find peace, even in the hurricane of my life.

[@Daelyah]

Meanwhile, I'm the Agnostic-borderline-LeVeyan Satanist whom is just glad that Ruffalo was able to pull through so much to become the legend he is today. He's an inspiration for many with similar struggles. And for Mark to become the sweet person that he is? He deserves all the love and compassion us humans can give...
