There’s one thing so charming concerning the thought of vastly well-known actors being common previous roommates. Do they need to make a chore chart? Do they share groceries? Squabble over dishes? Do they ever ship one another passive aggressive texts to show down the goddamn music as a result of they’re on an vital Zoom name with Christopher Nolan or David Fincher or another stratospherically well-known Hollywood particular person?
Not so for Mark Ruffalo and Joaquin Phoenix, who shared a house whereas taking pictures 2007’s Reservation Road, apparently. “[Joaquin] was an excellent roommate,” Ruffalo mentioned throughout his current look on Hot Ones. “He was the roommate who’d be out and also you’d get a textual content: ‘Need something? Do you want me to choose up something?’”
Ruffalo additionally revealed that it was Phoenix who supplied him the room within the first place. (He was initially supposed to remain elsewhere.) We’re guessing the request was extra for the pleasure of Ruffalo’s firm than any urgent concern about splitting the lease, however—as was made abundantly clear this summer season—actors’ lives (and paychecks) aren’t all the time as glamorous as one would possibly suppose. They nonetheless need to do dishes, for instance; or, no less than, Phoenix did. “The place is clear. All the dishes had been washed,” Ruffalo continued, including that the Napoleon star has “an excellent humorousness” and was “tremendous considerate.” Phoenix can be apparently a “nice cook dinner” who turned Ruffalo onto vegan delicacies, one thing it appeared like he was actually wishing for after his fifth sizzling wing or so.
Phoenix isn’t the one one in all Ruffalo’s well-known buddies to take him on a culinary journey. Apparently, Woody Harrelson carries a vial of do-it-yourself sizzling sauce generated from a breed of pepper he grows himself “in all places he goes.” “It’s actually a matchstick quantity of that in a freaking large pot of chili, and it’s simply ‘bang.’ It’s so intense,” Ruffalo mentioned, laughing. Especially in mild of this, we’ve got to second host Sean Evans’ movement to get Harrelson on the present as shortly as attainable.
