Mark Ruffalo Accidentally Declares Himself ‘Emotional Support Avenger’ After New Group Chat Leak Goes Viral
In a bizarre twist that has the internet howling, a leaked audio snippet from a secret Marvel group chat appears to show Mark Ruffalo offering to "Hulk out emotionally" for a confused fan who mistook him for his Instagram therapy account. The actor, known for playing Bruce Banner, reportedly responded to a desperate DM asking for relationship advice with, "I don't know what you're talking about, but yes, I can be your emotional support Avenger." The exchange was screenshotted, memeified, and turned into a template for "Ruffalo-ing" your way through awkward conversations. Critics are calling it the most honest PR move of the decade—mostly because Ruffalo has yet to confirm or deny it, leaving the internet to assume he's simply method-acting as "a man who has officially given up."
