Mark Ruffalo Admits 2024 Was 'Rough' as He Shares Shirtless Photo on New Year's Eve: 'Here's to Brighter Days'

For Mark Ruffalo, kindness is key as the world turns its calendars to 2025.

The actor, 57, shared a photo of himself lounging shirtless on Instagram Tuesday, Dec. 31, as he reflected that this past year "was rough, no way around it," in a caption to the photo, which he credited his wife Sunrise Coigney with taking.

"As we move into 2025, let’s lean on community, kindness and hope — and remember that rest is necessary for the road ahead," Ruffalo wrote. "Here’s to brighter days and taking care of each other. Happy New Year, friends."

Ruffalo is coming off a year that saw him receive his fourth Oscar nomination and land a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as he promoted 2023's Poor Things, which he starred in with Emma Stone.
