What Did Kieran Culkin Say About Getting Mark Ruffalo ‘High’?

by

As a longtime fan of both Kieran Culkin and Mark Ruffalo, I found their prank story utterly hilarious! It’s fascinating to learn about their shared history, especially since they’ve both grown into such talented actors in Hollywood.

Kieran Culkin’s life experience as a young, rebellious actor on the rise is evident in his playful antics, and it’s amusing to see how he managed to get the wise and seasoned Mark Ruffalo high during their stage production. It just goes to show that even the most experienced actors can still be pranked by a mischievous colleague!

The story reminds me of the time I tried (and failed) to pull a similar prank on my drama club friends back in high school, which ended with me getting grounded for a month. It’s always entertaining to see how our youthful misadventures compare to those of our favorite celebrities!

Lastly, let me share a little joke: I wonder if Kieran Culkin ever thought about pranking Mark Ruffalo again during their London performance of “This Is Our Youth.” If so, I hope he didn’t get punched in the face like Colin Hanks threatened! It just goes to show that some pranks are best left untried.

Kieran Culkin, known for his role in Succession, recently shared an amusing story from their past. It seems that during a play they performed together, he and Mark Ruffalo played a harmless prank that resulted in Ruffalo experiencing a heightened state, much to the delight of curious fans eager to hear more about this entertaining incident.

So, here’s what Culkin shared about pranking Ruffalo.

Kieran Culkin says he switched Mark Ruffalo’s prop joint with real one

Kieran Culkin shared that, during their stage play together in 2000 (“The Moment When”), when he was just 17, he played a trick on Mark Ruffalo. This trick involved swapping a fake joint for a real one, resulting in Ruffalo getting high unknowingly.

In a recent conversation with The Guardian, Culkin confessed about the joke he played, stating, “I was young and foolish.” Reflecting on the events of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, he remembered Ruffalo handing what he assumed to be a bogus joint to another cast member. At that time, he thought it was an amusing trick.

Apologetically, I may have come across as less intelligent just then,” Culkin admitted later on. He went on to say that Ruffalo and their other cast members enjoyed smoking real marijuana, with Ruffalo mentioning he hadn’t done so for a decade. Then, Phyllis Newman entered the conversation and said, “I haven’t smoked pot since the 1960s. Thanks for reminding me, dear,” she added.

Later on, Kieran Culkin revealed that their stage manager had a slight fit of anger over the prank and eventually confiscated the joint. Furthermore, the actor from A Real Pain recounted a joke he made with Colin Hanks, saying he would repeat the trick during their performance of This Is Our Youth in London. He also shared an incident where Hanks warned him that he might punch him in the face.

Additionally, Culkin shared an anecdote regarding his backstage encounter with Hanks where he passed him a genuine joint. He described Hanks’ exhilarated and anxious response, which led to the joint breaking apart as he attempted to ignite it.

Previously, Mark Ruffalo shared a funny incident involving a mischievous child actor during his guest spot on The Graham Norton Show in 2020. But he chose not to reveal the actor’s identity, instead calling him “a very misbehaved up-and-coming performer.
