Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo Gush on Reuniting 18 Years Later

Mark, for his part, was just happy to be reunited with his longtime buddy, telling E! News at the premiere, “It was great.”

“We’ve remained friends all these years,” he added, “and we sort of came back and it was like a homecoming.”

Since Ryan’s technically Mark and Jennifer’s on-screen son, they both offered up some loving advice for the real-life actor.  

Well, sort of. The way Jennifer sees things, he’s “got it pretty handled” when it comes to not just his career, but his “beautiful” family too, as she put it. Ryan is married to Blake Lively and they share three children together, James, 7, Inez, 5 and Betty, 2. 

And, as Jennifer revealed, “They’re incredible.”
