"Mark Ruffalo's Dream Foretold His Brain Tumor Diagnosis"
Actor Mark Ruffalo revealed that he discovered he had a brain tumor, an acoustic neuroma, after having a prophetic dream in 2001. Despite initially keeping it a secret, he sought medical attention and underwent surgery to remove the benign tumor, which left him with partial facial paralysis and hearing loss. Ruffalo's wife had a premonition about his health, and the experience did not hinder his successful acting career, including his portrayal of the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
