Mark Ruffalo had some stern words for the president and his current handling of world affairs.
Last night marked this year's Golden Globes, and celebrities flocked to Los Angeles to attend the star-studded ceremony at the Beverley Hills Hotel.
Waking up this morning in the UK, it's safe to say there was a lot to unpack from last night's festivities: from Jennifer Lawrence's racy dress and Snoop Dogg's censored comment, to a supposedly 'tense' exchange between lovebirds Timotheé Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.
Away from these moments, though, there's something else you may have noticed, and that was people sporting a 'BE GOOD' pin.

The pins were in support of Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis last week.
One person wearing one of the pins was Marvel star Mark Ruffalo, who was asked about the badge while on the red carpet.
Speaking to USA Today while addressing the pin, Ruffalo said: "This is for Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered."
Going on to discuss the state America's currently in, JD Vance, and President Donald Trump, the Spotlight star said: "We have a vice president who's lying about what's happening.
"We're in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. [Trump's] telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him.
"The only thing that matters to him is his own morality, but the guy is a convicted felon; a convicted rapist."
"He's a pedophile," the actor went on. "He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble."
For context, Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in May 2024 (via The Independent). That same year, he was also found liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in 1996 by a jury; however, he wasn't convicted due to it being a civil suit.
Trump has also never been charged with a sex crime, including pedophilia.
As well as the pin being for Renee Good, Ruffalo said it was for 'people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today', adding that he was 'one of them'.
"I love this country. And what I'm seeing here happening is not America," he concluded his statement.
UNILAD have approached the White House for comment on Ruffalo's remarks.
As well as Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes sported a pin too.
Addressing the small accessory, she told Variety that we need to 'shut this rogue government down'.
"It's awful what they are doing to people," Sykes added during the interview with Variety.
The badges in question have been endorsed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who helped organize the protest pins alongside Maremoto, Move On, National Domestic Workers Alliance, and Working Families Power.
They said in a joint statement: "The #BeGood campaign aims to honor Renée Macklin Good and Keith Porter while also reminding us what it means to be good to one another in the face of such horror—to be a good citizen, neighbor, friend, ally and human."
An off-duty ICE officer fatally shot Keith Porter on December 31 in Northridge, LA.
Supposedly, Porter was holding a gun at the time, but his family have denied that this was the case, The Los Angeles Times reported.
