Speaking about his children’s misunderstanding when they first watched his dad perform, he said, “The first time he ever saw me on TV, I was away and he was there with the nanny.
“He saw me on TV and he ran to the TV and started banging on the side of it, like: ‘How is he? Papa! Papa! Come out, come out!’”
Ruffalo, who gained international recognition for his role as the Hulk/Doctor Bruce Banner in the Marvel Comic The Avengers, found his kids’ naive reaction endearing.
“It was really sweet. It was so literal for him. He literally thought I was in the TV!”
