Mark Ruffalo‘s prop joint for real weed during a stage production in 2000.“I was 17 and stupid,” Culkin said in a new interview with The Guardian. “I’m like, ‘I thought this was a good prank.

I’m stupid. Oh my God, I’m so sorry.’ But actually, they loved it.“Mark says, ‘I haven’t smoked pot in 10 years. The second half’s going to be so much fun.’ There was this other actor who had never smoked pot in her life.

She goes, ‘Is this what being high is? This is lovely.’ And then Phyllis Newman comes in and goes, ‘I haven’t smoked pot since the 1960s.

Thank you, darling.’”At the time of the prank, Culkin, Ruffalo and their co-stars were performing in Playwright Horizons’ production of James Lapine’s play The Moment When.The Succession star continued: “The stage manager comes stomping in and goes, ‘I don’t care whose it is, or what happened, but Kieran, give me the joint.’ I sheepishly handed her the roach and she said, ‘Ruin your life on your own time’.
