Mark Ruffalo narrates how he pulled Woody Harrelson out of bar fight
Mark Ruffalo recently recollected the time he pulled his Now You See Me co-star, Woody Harrelson, out of a bar fight. The actor reunited with his fellow Horsemen on the “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast to narrate the memorable incident.
Ruffalo revealed, “We were shooting Now You See Me in New Orleans, completely on the streets. Totally wild.” He continued, “Capturing stuff on a long lens, getting dragged into bars during the middle of a scene, like in the middle of Mardi Gras.”
He was describing the scene to co-host Ted Danson, who listened to Ruffalo’s narration attentively. The actors were out one night when a woman came up to Harrelson and said, “Oh my God. I love you so much.” The Task star recounted that the 64-year-old put his hand on the woman’s arm and said, “Thank you. Thank you, darling.”
Ruffalo then raised his pitch slightly to narrate the next set of events that occurred. He exclaimed, “This guy comes over, pushes her out of the way, and shoves Woody.” Harrelson chimed in, saying he remembered the incident.
Continuing his story, Ruffalo narrated, “Woody’s first response is not shoving someone back, but immediately punching them in the face.” He justified his co-star’s reaction to the scuffle, noting, “Which is the right thing to do, by the way. It’s absolutely the right thing to do.”
“But then a whole melee broke out in this bar,” Ruffalo revealed, dramatically raising both his hands. He recounted being in the middle of the scuffle, which was quickly escalating into a potentially dangerous situation.
Ruffalo stated, “And I grabbed you. I pulled you out because I was like, this could be fun, but it also could go disastrously wrong.” “Because you and I might be able to handle ourselves, but the rest of the folks we were with, I don’t think so,” he recounted with a laugh.
The trio laughed collectively, reminiscing about the past incident. Notably, Mark Ruffalo and Woody Harrelson are set to reunite for the next installment of the franchise, titled Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.
