Danielle Turchiano Senior Features Editor, TVAs a director, Derek Cianfrance is usually given a major say in determining who will be cast in a project. But in the case of HBO’s adaptation of Wally Lamb’s “I Know This Much Is True,” Mark Ruffalo was already in place to star as Dominick Birdsey and his twin brother, Thomas, when Cianfrance signed on.

The actor is playing identical twins in HBO’s ‘I Know This Much Is True’ and it sounds like he’s had to take some extreme measures for the double role. Apparently, Mark Ruffalo went on a really strict diet that had him eating no more than 1000 calories worth of food every day! And that’s not all! He even challenged himself to do about 500 pushups daily, not to help with the weightloss but with something partaining to the character’s profile! This was needed in order to portray each twin characters on the HBO series since, while they are identical, their weights differ quite a bit.

Mark Ruffalo, 52, may play both identical twin brothers in the HBO series I Know This Much Is True, but the characters can’t exactly be described as doppelgängers. This is because Mark underwent extreme weight changes to film as each brother. The most radical transformation, however, was apparent in his role as Dominick Birdsey.

Mark Ruffalo will do anything to play a role to the best of his abilities — including losing 20 pounds by eating only 1,000 calories a day.The actor, 52, manipulated his own weight in order to portray the Birdsey twins in HBO’s limited series, I Know This Much Is True, which is based on the Wally Lamb novel of the same name. According to writer and director Derek Cianfrance, the strict diet of 1,000 calories daily was coupled with Ruffalo’s desire to do “probably 500 pushups a day” while shooting the scenes as Dominic Birdsey, the neurotypical yet “aggressive” sibling.“I guess you could say he was always a little bit hangry,” Cianfrance, 46, recently told The Wrap of the Oscar-nominated actor.

Every time Mark Ruffalo hits the screens, the actor is a treat to watch. All his performances have a lasting effect on his audience because the Hollywood star works hard to justify all its roles.
