During a past conversation with GQ, Mark Ruffalo opened about Marvel’s Hulk and said playing it is humiliating.

Mark Ruffalo continued, “It was so humiliating, and all the actors, whenever I walked on set, would just start laughing at me because they were in their cool superhero costumes and I’m wearing these ridiculous pyjamas that made me look like a Chinese checkerboard,” Ruffalo added.
During that interaction, the Hulk actor recalled a conversation he had with Robert Downey Jr while shooting the last Avenger film – Avengers: Endgame. Revealing this interaction with the Iron Man actor, Mark Ruffalo said, “In the last movie, he came up to me and he said: ‘I have a lot of compassion for you. And I was like, ‘Why?’ He’s like, ‘Because I see how hard it is for you to stand around in that costume all day.’”
