When Mark Ruffalo reunited with Jennifer Garner, nostalgia hit fans hard

As we leaf through the pages of Hollywood's past, certain films jump out, capturing the essence of an era. One such gem, 13 Going on 30, last year celebrated its 18th anniversary, an age marking the journey from whimsical tales to heartfelt nostalgia. For Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner, it was a moment to look back and marvel at the serendipity of reuniting in Netflix's The Adam Project. "Can you believe it's been 18 years since 13 Going on 30?" Garner mused to Ruffalo in an Instagram clip that warmed the hearts of fans everywhere. With a playful reference to Razzles, the candy that became an emblem of their earlier film, the duo chuckled over the passage of time. "It's sorta like Jenna and Matty got together so they could become parents in The Adam Project," Ruffalo reflected, drawing a poignant parallel that extended beyond their characters to touch their own reality.

Enter Walker Scobell, the young star awestruck by his co-stars' storied past. "Didn't that movie come out, like, forever ago? Like, before I was even born, I think," Walker quipped, bridging the gap between generations with humor and a dash of disbelief at the relentless march of time.

It was at The Adam Project's premiere that Ruffalo's sentiments echoed the surreal nature of time, work, and friendship.

Their playful banter, imagining Ryan Reynolds as their cinematic offspring, adds yet another layer to the delight of fans and the actors themselves. As Garner reciprocated, noting the excitement of their collaboration, it's evident that the bond formed over eighteen years ago remains unbroken, enriched rather than eroded by the years.
