Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner recreate Suddenly 30's Thriller dance
As actor Mark Ruffalo received his Hollywood Walk of Fame star, his Suddenly 30 costar Jennifer Garner celebrated in a very special way.
As she came up to the podium to deliver her speech, Ruffalo initiated an off-the cuff Thriller dance, recreating the iconic scene from Suddenly 30, which Garner amusingly joined.
His initiation raised eyebrows, as Garner described his absolute reluctance to do it in the actual film, even wanting to "drop out" from the project because of it.

She began listing all of his other leading ladies such as Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth [Paltrow], Keira Knightley before asking, "I wonder if these esteemed ladies enjoyed Mark's anxiety as much as I did?
"I wonder if he tried to drop out of their films like he did out of ours after the first rehearsal of the Thriller dance, where Mark went from kind of shocked that we actually had to do this to antsy to deathly quiet to 'Bro, this is not for me.' "

The actresses credited herself with the creation of "rom-com Ruffalo", wondering if her fellow actresses "would agree that Mark owes this rom-com success to the scruffy hair, the untucked, cute button-down, both of which became the norm for cute guys everywhere for the next 20 years."
Her speech later turned more heartfelt as she told him his "real success is in how thrilled and delighted your colleagues are to have the opportunity to lift you up and celebrate you. Every time your name is called, Hollywood takes a deep collective breath and says, 'OK, the good and right thing has happened.'
Ruffalo shared in the celebration with his family. Getty
"To work with you, Mark, is to love you, I don't care what anyone says."
They later posed in front of the star, placed in front of the Stella Adler Acting Academy where Ruffalo trained in acting, even continuing their Thriller dance there.
He also posed with his family, wife Sunrise Coigney and two of their three children - Keen, 22, and Bella, 18.
