Mark Ruffalo told Australia’s Sunday Herald-Sun that if he had been offered the role of The Hulk in the first film, he likely would’ve passed.

“I probably wouldn’t have done this movie in the past. But because of what Robert [Downey Jr] had done and where that genre has gone since then, I did it”.

“I have always tried to stay ahead of being stereotyped and the more I felt you could f— with people’s expectations of you, the longer a career you have. I consider myself a blue collar actor that way. What I do really enjoy is that rhythm and style and family and I like that kind of nomadic existence. I have never really been one to go for the cash. If my dad knew how much money I had turned in my lifetime he would kick me in the a—”.

He also said that when he tests for something like The Avengers it has to feel like he’s “going for more than a job”.He says he’s a bit wary at the prospect of the green screen acting and the barrage of special effects he’ll be acting alongside when The Avengers starts filming.

Michael Douglas was on the Late Show with David Letterman last night promoting his new film, Wall Street 2.

Letterman asked him about his battle with throat cancer and he was pretty candid about it. When Letterman asked about why he didn’t sound like he had throat cancer, Douglas gave a great answer: “Because I’m on stage!” You can check it out at the 3 minute mark.

And it all ends with Letterman giving him a hug.

January Jones on Betty Draper and slapping her TV daughter

Q: The scene where Betty slaps Sally is a bit of a shock. Was that difficult to shoot?

A: It was difficult. I mean, Kiernan [Shipka] and I know each other very well now so before we do anything like that I always make sure she’s comfortable. Usually she’s more comfortable than I am with the stuff that I have to do, but we kind of have to find some sort of peace with it… I haven’t seen the episode so I hope it looks as realistic and as shocking as it should be.

Q: What was your reaction when you read the script for this episode?

A: It was shocking, but I have to laugh, because as ugly as it may be on paper and on screen, those things are kind of fun to shoot. Just because it’s something I would never do. It’s going outside the box and experimenting with things you haven’t done before. It’s just the anger coming back, and Betty’s kind of gone up and down with that sort of stuff. I enjoy it.

Q: This is the second therapist Betty has seen. Who do you usually confide in when you need to talk?

A: Family. My parents and my sisters… Every once in a while if it’s something work-related, I’ll talk to my co-stars, just because sometimes my family doesn’t understand that aspect of my life.

Q: Now that Betty’s divorced, how does that change your time on the set with Jon Hamm?

A: A lot. I have a lot more scenes with Henry and the kids — well, just as much with the kids, I guess. But more Henry than with Don. And when it is with Don it’s usually pretty volatile. It’s a very different show this season.

Q: How is it working with Christopher Stanley as your husband?

A: He’s great. He’s put in a position that fans might not root for just because they like Don and Betty together, even when they weren’t happy. So I think he’s handling it really well.
