Hollywood actor brands Trump ‘the worst human being’ in Golden Globes rant

Mark Ruffalo did not mince his words at the Golden Globes when discussing the current American political landscape.

The Hollywood star, 58, attended the 83rd annual ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, last night, where he was nominated for his performance as Tom Brandis in Task.

While Ruffalo went home empty-handed after Noah Wyle emerged victorious in the male actor category, he still found time to score a win against current president Donald Trump.

Arriving on the red carpet, he was one of several stars with a ‘Be Good’ pin badge displayed proudly on his jacket.

Natasha Lyonne and Wanda Sykes also wore the pins to honour Renee Nicole Good and protest against her death after the 37-year-old was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on Wednesday, sparking outrage across the country.

‘This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered,’ Ruffalo told reporters on the carpet.

Calling out JD Vance, he added: ‘We have a Vice President who is lying about what’s happening.’

In a press conference in the White House, the day after officer Jonathan Ross killed Good, Vance said her death was ‘a tragedy of her own making’, and Ross ‘deserves a debt of gratitude’ after doing ‘a very, very important job for the United States of America’.

Continuing his rant, Ruffalo went on: ‘We’re in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded.’

‘He’s telling the world that international law doesn’t matter to him,’ he said of Trump.

‘The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon.

‘He’s the worst human being in the world.’

‘If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble,’ he raged.

Ruffalo further said that his pin was dedicated to ‘the people in the United States who are terrorised and scared today.’

‘I know I’m one of them,’ he declared. ‘I love this country. And what I’m seeing here happening is not America.’

‘I want to be here to celebrate, and I am here to celebrate, and I’m proud to have a Golden Globe nomination,’ he then argued as he expressed gratitude for the recognition. ‘But also, this is not normal anymore.

‘So I don’t know how I could be quiet.’

Ruffalo’s comments against the Republican leader refer to the 2024 hush money trial in which Trump was unanimously convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

He also seemingly referenced the sexual assault allegations against Trump, dating back to the 80s, which he has always denied.

One allegation came from a woman claiming she was a teenager when Trump raped her, while, in 2022, E. Jean Carroll was awarded $88million (£65.4m) in damages after Trump’s persistent denial of her rape allegations and branding her a ‘liar’ impacted her reputation.

This is far from the first time that the Avengers star has got political, having previously endorsed Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

In 2017 and again in 2019, he threw his two cents into UK politics by backing Jeremy Corbyn’s run for Prime Minister, calling him ‘a beacon of hope in the struggle against emergent far-right nationalism, xenophobia, and racism in much of the democratic world.’

Ahead of Trump’s reelection, he also endorsed Kamala Harris and has long been pro-choice, anti-capitalist, and a supporter of LGBTQ+ rights.

Ruffalo’s outspoken nature on the Globes red carpet last night was met with wide praise online, with @Planter009 on X calling him ‘total class’ and @justbeingjimmy writing: ‘Mark Ruffalo will always be the celebrity who is unanimously on the right side of history.’
