The actor said Mark Ruffalo “loved” the prank but another co-star was not a fan of the idea at all.
Kieran Culkin has revealed that Colin Hanks wasn’t laughing when he initially joked about pulling a prank on the actor.
The Golden Globe-nominated actor said he shared the idea — where he swaps a fake cannabis joint for a real one — with Hanks while they were working on the West End production of “This Is Our Youth.”
“And he’s like, ‘Are you fucking kidding me? If you ever do something like that, I swear to God, I’m going to punch you in the face,’” Culkin recalled in a feature for The Guardian.
Toward the end of the play’s run, Culkin said Hanks “shrugged like he was saying, ‘If you do, it might be fun.’”
Hanks’ character in the production — Dennis Ziegler — rolled a joint on stage each night.
