Mark Ruffalo Used To Starve Himself!

Mark Ruffalo is gearing up to play the Hulk in The Avengers, which requires a lot of physical changes on his part.

Fortunately, Mark has been down this road before as he confessed to sources that he used to be a wrestler in high school. But the process then and now apparently is fairly grueling, as Mark reveals that he used to starve himself to get to his ideal weight. He explains:

“They (film bosses) want me mean and lean, but they don’t want me big and buff. I gotta keep building and building and building. You have to eat to build muscle…I was a wrestler. I’m used to starving myself. It’s easy for me. The last two weeks you just walk around spitting into a cup.”

Poor thing! There has to be a better way!

Maybe he was just exaggerating?
