He stated, “Kevin O’Leary, why don’t you STFU. It’s hilarious. You will go on any show and talk shit about any number of things and smugly expect us to listen to you, but you will dig into a real artist that dwarfs anything you dream of doing for actually saying something that resonates with 100’s of millions of people the world over. It’s astounding the fantasy double standard Kevin O’Leary lives in.”Ruffalo further sarcastically commented about how his ‘Marty Supreme’ role was accurate to his personality. O’Leary played the role of a cutthroat businessman, Milton Rockwell. The businessman had earlier commented about celebrities getting into politics.
