00:00I went to bed a leading man and woke up a character actor.
00:03So, my wife's like, your genre is sad dad.
00:10Hi, I'm Mark Ruffalo.
00:11Hi, I'm Tom Pelfrey.
00:13And this is Inquiring Minds.
00:14With Esquire.
00:17Let's do it.
00:18Let's do it.
00:19What's one thing about me that caught you off guard?
00:22How silly you are.
00:23I remember when we were on set and Mark is so lovely and engaging
00:29and like silly and having fun.
00:32And then we do these scenes and you just snap in.
00:36That's my ADHD going from extreme just ADHD to hyper focused.
00:42Yes, I can relate to that.
00:43You know what I'm saying?
00:45Yeah.
00:45Do we all have it?
00:47I think every actor has ADHD.
00:48You've never been diagnosed?
00:50No.
00:51Oh, buddy, you are so ADHD.
00:54You knew it?
00:55From a mile away.
00:59Wait, really?
01:00As I walk out of your trailer and you're like, one sock is tucked in.
01:08Oh, I feel so loved by you in that moment.
01:11I love you.
01:11That you saw me.
01:13100%.
01:13You knew that.
01:14You knew that.
01:15Genuinely.
01:15I thought you were just messing with me right now.
01:18What's one thing that Los Angeles has that New York City doesn't?
01:22Boots.
01:23Car boots.
01:25The ones they put on your car.
01:27You never got booted in New York?
01:30No.
01:31Bro.
01:31There's no cars.
01:32I don't have a car in New York.
01:34Trust me.
01:35Have you been booted in New York?
01:36Oh, they'll boot your ass so fast here.
01:39Your head will spin.
01:40Okay, never mind.
01:41I got booted once for like, I remember years ago.
01:43I put it somewhere it shouldn't have been, but it was like a voiceover thing.
01:47I ran inside for 15 minutes.
01:50I came out in the car.
01:50And there's a boot?
01:51Booty.
01:52In LA, my car was always getting booted because I didn't pay my parking tickets.
01:57That I can also relate to.
01:59Which was also an ADHD thing.
02:02Oh, yeah.
02:03I'll get to that.
02:04Oh, yeah.
02:05Here, let me just put it in the, put it in the footlock.
02:08And then let's lock it.
02:10And then out of sight, out of mind.
02:13What's one piece of clothing you've owned the longest?
02:16Adidas track pants.
02:17Nice.
02:17I have like a true, baggy, deep pocket pair of Adidas track pants.
02:23Zips on the sides?
02:24No.
02:25The floppy old school.
02:26The floppy old school.
02:27The 90s.
02:28Totally.
02:28Isn't it?
02:29Yeah, I think so.
02:30Mark, what's the most dad thing about you?
02:33What isn't?
02:34I guess my sense of humor.
02:37It's pretty dad-ish.
02:38My kids are always rolling their eyes at me.
02:41Fair.
02:41They'll like laugh at me begrudgingly.
02:43I'll like, hey, you gonna have some cereal and milk?
02:47Smilk?
02:53Your character and task is a criminal.
02:55If you had to commit a crime, who would be the first person you're calling?
02:59I want you to be my partner.
03:01You do?
03:01Yeah.
03:03I'll fucking do any crime with you.
03:07Okay, Mark.
03:08Name one thing that you never travel without.
03:11A toothbrush?
03:12You've learned to remember.
03:14I learned my lesson.
03:14I've been traveling for a long time.
03:16You've been going non-stop lately.
03:18I'm like getting it while they're still hiring me.
03:22Bro, they're always gonna hire me.
03:23I don't know.
03:24Trust me.
03:25I went to bed a leading man and woke up a character actor.
03:28So my wife's like, your genre is sad dad.
03:36That's a good one though.
03:37Yeah.
03:38It's very lovable.
03:39Yeah.
03:40What's the most random place you've been recognized?
03:43Maybe the scary answer is I don't know.
03:46Who knows?
03:48Maybe you've been recognizing.
03:49Oh, and you didn't know.
03:51Like a sauna.
03:52Yeah.
03:53Oh, for sure.
03:54Right?
03:54That would be a random.
03:55You've never had anyone in the sauna be like, yo, bro.
03:59In the steam room.
04:02Bro.
04:03Bro.
04:04Bro.
04:04Bro.
04:04Yo, bro.
04:06Bro.
04:06You that dude from Ozark?
04:08When we get out, can I get a selfie?
04:12Or right now.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Let me get my camera in my locker, bro.
04:16Mark, what's the best wrap gift that you've ever received?
04:20Okay.
04:21I got a roll of flex, a three quarter film roll of flex from Mark Roival after we wrapped
04:30Task.
04:31Wow.
04:32That was the best wrap gift.
04:33Mark, you're out there.
04:35That's the best wrap gift I've ever gotten.
04:37Mark, you may need to have words.
04:40No, I just realized.
04:41No, it's all right.
04:43This isn't anything you did wrong.
04:45This is something you did wrong, Mr. Roival.
04:48All right, yeah.
04:48Mr. Roival.
04:50Well, I didn't get a camera from Mark Roival.
04:52What is my best?
04:53He's sending you a new Peloton.
04:55Yeah.
04:58What's the most New Jersey thing about you, Tom?
05:01Oh, boy.
05:02Water.
05:03You know?
05:03Water.
05:04Say water.
05:04But I'm so Jersey through and through.
05:07There's some more stuff.
05:08Bruce Springsteen.
05:09Bruce Springsteen.
05:09Bruce.
05:10Love Bruce.
05:11Love Bon Jovi.
05:12Love Jack Nicholson.
05:13Jack Nicholson's Jersey.
05:14He grew up about 10 minutes from my group.
05:16But it doesn't get any better than that.
05:18Jersey is strange because you have no idea that it's strange until you, like, leave.
05:24And then, you know, in New Jersey, you can't pump your own gas.
05:26It's like, I remember the first time I drove, like, to, like, upstate New York or something.
05:30Yes, on the Palisades.
05:31And I was like, where's the guy?
05:33Oh, where's the guy?
05:34And then I was like, people pump their own gas.
05:38It's the ghost town.
05:40Is it closed?
05:41Who do you think is a tougher cop?
05:43Tom from TASC or Mare from Mare of Easttown?
05:47Tougher cop.
05:47Oh, Mare from Easttown.
05:50She's tough.
05:51She is tough.
05:52Tom's got a little soft side.
05:53He's a little old.
05:57One film that you think is perfect from start to finish.
06:00The Matrix.
06:02Oh, yeah.
06:02I think is perfect.
06:04I mean, like, frame by frame, I think that movie is perfect.
06:07I mean, Zodiac is pretty fucking tight.
06:10We were saying, I just rewatched it, like, a month ago.
06:13I'm in that one.
06:14Yeah.
06:15Mark is in that one.
06:16He's excellent in that one.
06:17Mark, what is your strangest fan interaction to date?
06:21I was in Moscow for the premiere of Avengers.
06:25I was going to my car and this fan came running out of nowhere.
06:30I don't know how, because the KGB was literally, I had double time on top of me because I think
06:36I was a liberal activist.
06:37This woman comes running, breaks the barricade, comes running out of the crowd, pushes my publicist out of the way,
06:44jumps in the car.
06:45And she's like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
06:49She has an envelope.
06:50And she's like, I have this.
06:52Could you get Tom Hiddleston to sign this one?
07:00She risked it all for you to get Tom Hiddleston to sign this.
07:05And it was a portrait that she had drawn of Tom.
