The Avengers star Mark Ruffalo recounted how he was accidentally pranked into smoking a joint in front of a live audience in an under-the-radar interview on the Graham Norton Show from last year that has now gone viral.<br /><br />Ruffalo revealed on the British talk show that a mischievous fellow actor had switched a prop joint for a bonafide blunt on the opening night of the unnamed play.<br /><br />"There was a play that I did where I smoked a joint in the first scene," said Ruffalo." "And of course there was a very naughty young actor that I was in the play with who, on the opening night with all of the critics, he slipped a real joint onto the prop table. And I'm out there — now, when you're acting, you overdo everything. So, when you're out at a party, you take two puffs and say that's enough, 'I'm so stoned.'"<br /><br />To make things even worse, the actress with whom he shared the spliff had never smoked pot before.<br /><br />The actor claims he only realized he was smoking a real joint when he saw the prankster laughing backstage.<br /><br />The marijuana proved to performance-enhancing for Ruffalo, who said his drug-fueled acting led to a fair bit of acclaim.<br /><br />"At the end of the play," he said, laughing, "I got the best reviews of my entire career."<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
