Mark Ruffalo is no stranger to politics, and he recently revealed that he would be open to running for office in the future.
In an interview with Us Weekly, he says he has no plans to trade in acting for being a politician in the near future.However, the Crime 101 actor is not ruling out the possibility, as he remains very active in political commentary. Ruffalo also stated that he believes being an actor is similar to being a politician in that both professions work to serve the public.He added that if he were to switch lanes, he would be doing so to help people.
It isn’t on my game card right now, but who knows. I mean, you never say never. I mean, I spent a lot of time in that world, and acting — it’s for the people. So, I love the people and politicians could be doing something good for the people.
Ruffalo pointed to recent political developments as a source of inspiration for him. He used the election of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as an example. The Democratic Socialist made history by taking his oath of office on a Quran. The Hulk star explained that these milestones give him hope that the country can still change for the better. «Seeing Mamdani’s win in New York has really excited me about what’s possible in the United States right now,» he told the publication.
He also expressed concern over the influence of corporations in politics. He stressed that he believed both Democrats and Republicans are caving in when it comes to these matters, so he’s not just attacking the other side. He also mentioned that both parties are so caught up in their own drama that they forgot about helping the people whom they vowed to protect, the American people. And that’s why the actor believes so many citizens are currently suffering.
It’s bulls***. And the people in America are suffering. If the people in America weren’t suffering, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. You know, it’s a failure on both parties. They become completely captured by corporations, both parties. And it’s time for a new America that is for the working people who were the plurality of this country.
Ruffalo voicing his opinions about politics is not new. He has consistently used his platform to discuss the problems with the US government and speak out against Donald Trump. When the president was elected for his first term in 2017, the actor protested in front of the Trump International Hotel in New York City alongside his colleagues in the entertainment industry, such as Alec Baldwin and Michael Moore.
