Sorry to disappoint you, but Gwyneth Paltrow is very professional.

Before Mark Ruffalo was Hulking out, he was winning our hearts in a handful of romantic comedies, like View From the Top with Gwyneth Paltrow in 2003.

“Gwyneth basically okayed me,” Ruffalo told ET back then. “If that sun shines on you, then you're doing pretty well.”

Mark admitted he was a bit nervous the first day of filming, but who could blame him? Their first scene together was Gwyneth in her bikini running around after her clasp broke.

“I was pretty terrified. I was acting with Gwyneth Paltrow, and I didn't want to look because I didn't want to be a pig,” confessed Mark. “That was pretty nerve-racking. I was glad that scene was out of the way by the end of the day.”

As far as kissing scenes went, Mark insisted Gwyneth was just there to work.

“Gwyneth is on her PalmPilot and then all of a sudden they'd be like, ‘Action!’ She'd put it down and we'd kiss,” said Mark. “And then they'd say, ‘Cut!’ and she'd pick up her PalmPilot again and that was the extent of the romantic feelings.”

Don’t worry, we love you, Mark!
