Mark Ruffalo & Singer Role Model Join Natalie Portman’s Netflix Rom-Com Movie

Netflix has officially unveiled two male lead actors, who will be joining Academy Award winner Natalie Portman in the upcoming romantic comedy movie titled, Good Sex. The project hails from Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham (Girls, Tiny Furniture).

“After spending a decade in a failed relationship, successful couples’ therapist Ally is turning 40 and is pushed, kicking and screaming, by her best friend back into the hopeless New York dating scene,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “But Ally finds her life pulled in opposing directions as she falls into a steamy fling with a 20-something Brooklyn hipster just as she begins a promising, more conventional relationship with Alan, a successful 50-something in Manhattan. As a romantic crossroads blossoms into a full-blown identity crisis, Ally juggles to keep these two very different men separate and to make sense of her own conflicting desires before she risks losing them both.”

Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo (The Kids are All Right, Avengers: Endgame), and singer Tucker Pillsbury aka Role Model have been tapped to star opposite Portman. Just like the Thor: Love and Thunder star, this would mark Ruffalo’s first romantic comedy in a long while. He is no stranger to the genre, as he previously starred in a few iconic movies such as 13 Going on 30, Just Like Heaven, Rumor Has It, and Date Night. As for Pillsbury, this would mark the singer-songwriter’s feature acting debut.

The movie will be written and directed by Dunham. In addition to leading the cast, Portman will also be serving as a producer alongside Sophie Mas through their MountainA banner. Dunham and Michael Cohen are also producing through their production company Good Thing Going
