How Mark Ruffalo Saved Woody Harrelson From a Bar "Melee"

Mark Ruffalo intervened to prevent escalation after a man shoved Woody Harrelson following a fan encounter, with Ruffalo and Harrelson using their wrestling skills to control the fight.

  • On Tuesday, October 14, Mark Ruffalo recounted saving Woody Harrelson from a bar brawl in New Orleans while filming Now You See Me on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast.
  • A woman fan approached Woody Harrelson at a packed bar in New Orleans, telling him she loved him, before an aggressive man pushed the fan and shoved Harrelson, triggering a melee.
  • In the crowded bar, Ruffalo noted `It was a packed place` and said his wrestling experience let Harrelson handle the head while he took the legs, calling them `We’re like a perfect combination`.
  • Ruffalo said he pulled Harrelson out because `I grabbed you and I pulled you out` fearing it could go disastrously wrong, and Ted Danson praised the deescalation as the "right thing to do."
  • They soon will begin filming the third installment, reuniting Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, and the original Four Horsemen cast members for Now You See Me: Now You Don't, which hits theaters Nov. 14.
