Jennifer Garner Says Mark Ruffalo Almost QUIT 13 Going on 30 Over This Scene

Mark Ruffalo was close to not appearing in '13 Going on 30!' While reminiscing about their 2004 rom-com film, Jennifer Garner tells 'Allure' magazine that the actor 'hated' filming the iconic 'Thriller' dance sequence and almost quit because of it.

I watched it when I was 22 years old and watched it again at 41, it hits differently. Especially the part where she went home to her parents and slept in her old room. 😢

The film would have not been the same without him.

And that’s when we all fell in love with Mark Ruffalo 😂

I would love to see Garner and Ruffalo reunite for another film. They have a nice chemistry together. It wouldn't necessarily need to be another romcom; they would be an interesting pair in an action movie.

The way he lights up when he talks about her 😊 they really enjoyed working together!

This is still to this day my favorite movie and definitely would not have been the same without him. And the Thriller dance scene is my favorite part of the movie.

13 GOING ON 30 and JUST LIKE HEAVEN are the best romcom movies of all time. Mark Ruffalo was great in both movies.

Why has he never been voted the sexiest man alive!???? Honestly he has this.... smile! warmth! Glint in his eye! .and he stays under the radar ...no hollywood pretences!! Not to mention he outshines everyone in all his movies! Hollywood in all your wokeness you still have not woken up!!! But probably a blessing in discuise for him...all the perks but retains his peace and quiet!

This movie has a special place in my heart I hope I can watch it with my daughter when she gets older.

Most underrated movie. They don't make like this anymore.

[ejohnson]

13 Going On 30 and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past are two of my favorite Jennifer Gardner’s movies!

[emramirez]

Literally one of my favorite movies ever!

Mark Ruffalo giving Nick Miller / Jake Johnson "please don't make me dance" vibes (also petition to make a movie with these two) 👏👏👏

[ashmarie]

I was 12 when it came out so this movie was everything to me. I had a crush on mark.😊

I swear Jennifer Garner gets more beautiful with age 💜

[rainbowstar]

Jen and MArk are very charismatic celebs that's why they are even more popular by now.
