Mark Ruffalo set social media on fire after a tense Golden Globes red-carpet interview turned into a full political statement — and it happened while he wore a “BE GOOD” pin that’s now become one of the most talked-about symbols from the night.
The moment unfolded at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards on January 11, 2026, where multiple celebrities were seen wearing “BE GOOD” and “ICE OUT” pins. According to reporting from major entertainment outlets, the pins were tied to a protest message focused on immigration enforcement and public outrage after the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis days earlier.
During the interview, Ruffalo delivered a hard-edged critique of Donald Trump, using strong language about character and morality and warning that the country is “in a lot of trouble” if it depends on Trump’s morality. He also emphasized a line that’s now being repeated across platforms: “I love this country and what I’m seeing here is not America.”
The clip is spreading fast because it combines three things that always go viral: a famous face, an emotionally charged statement, and a clear visual symbol (the pin) that gives viewers a “why now?” hook. That pin wasn’t a random accessory — multiple attendees wore it in what Entertainment Weekly described as a coordinated statement tied to the broader protest message happening around the Globes.
It’s also important to note that Ruffalo’s remarks included allegations and opinions about Trump; they are being widely shared because of how blunt they were, not because they are court findings. Public reporting in recent years has described Trump’s felony conviction in New York and civil verdicts connected to E. Jean Carroll’s cases, which remain a major flashpoint in political debate.
Whether people agree with Ruffalo or not, the result is the same: the red-carpet soundbite has become a headline moment — and it’s now driving heavy clicks as viewers look for the full clip and the context behind the “BE GOOD” protest.
