The actor playing the charming romantic lead in 13 Going on 30 had the left side of his face completely paralyzed two years before they shot it.
Mark Ruffalo was 33 when he woke up from a dream telling him he had a brain tumor. No symptoms, just an ear infection. He was on set with Gandolfini and Redford for The Last Castle. He told the cast doctor about the dream anyway. The CT scan came back: a mass behind his left ear the size of a golf ball. Acoustic neuroma. Benign, but it had to come out.
His wife was nine months pregnant with their first kid. He didn't tell her. She had the doula, the birth plan, the hot tub ordered. He carried the diagnosis alone for weeks until after she gave birth.
Going into surgery, the doctors told him there was a 20% chance the left side of his face would stay paralyzed. He told them: "Take my hearing. Let me keep the face. Just let me be the father to this kid."
He woke up completely deaf in his left ear and the entire left side of his face frozen. Couldn't close his left eye.
Two years later he showed up to play the romantic lead in a Jennifer Garner movie that required everything brain surgery had just tried to take from him. The smile. The warmth. The comic timing. A goofy Thriller dance in front of a crowd. He almost quit during the rehearsal. Garner has told that story publicly. He stayed.
The movie opened 22 years ago today. $22M in week one, $96M+ worldwide. That same year he also shot Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Collateral, and We Don't Live Here Anymore. Four films in twelve months from a guy who had just learned to use his face again.
He went on to four Oscar nominations and the Hulk.
The romantic comedy nobody takes seriously was the comeback film of an actor who had to relearn how to smile.
the fact that they dropped this during the pandemic when i already wanted to kms and i’m somehow still here is a testament to the strength of the indomitable human spirit
A Miley nunca fez um fanservice tão grande igual tá fazendo com esse especial de Hannah Montana, em que mundo a gente ia imaginar ela vestida de Hannah, cantando as músicas e até recriando as chamadas! Foram espertos demais!
