Actor Mark Ruffalo, best known for his portrayal of the Hulk, has joined the likes of Russell Brand, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jim Carrey, and several other prominent celebrity figures in using their status to shed light on global issues about which they care deeply.
Before filming a promotional segment at CBS for his upcoming movie Spotlight — which is based on the true story of how The Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation in the Catholic church — Ruffalo happened to run into Hugh Grant, the CEO of Monsanto. Knowing how unexpected and unlikely this rendezvous was, Ruffalo stepped up to the plate and used this opportunity to share his opinion on the work being done by Grant’s organization:
“You are wrong. You are engaged in monopolizing food. You are poisoning people. You are killing small farms. You are killing bees. What you are doing is dead wrong.”
