Mark Ruffalo's son Keen says Covid depression made him quit fashion for acting

Keen Ruffalo abandoned fashion design studies and became an actor after suffering “Covid depression,” inspired by his father Mark Ruffalo’s happiness. The 25-year-old, who appeared on NBC’s Today Show on Friday, August 7, said he dropped out during his freshman year after pandemic separation led to depression and feeling lost. Watching acting make his 58-year-old father happy prompted the change. Keen had originally enrolled for fashion design before Covid. He described feeling lost and needing change, saying many people experienced the same pandemic-era depression.
