Mark Wahlberg Vs. Tom Cruise
Ummm this should be a huge showdown… Mark Wahlberg has never been afraid to state his opinion. But when he was asked about his training for his upcoming movie where he plays a Navy Seal, Marky Mark had alot to say:
“For actors to sit there and talk about, ‘Oh I went to SEAL training’? I don’t give a f–– what you did,” Wahlberg said Tuesday. “You don’t do what these guys did. For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as being in the military? How f––ing dare you, while you sit in a makeup chair for two hours.”
Some are saying that this is a shot at Tom Cruise because he was asked during his deposition for his libel suit against Bauer Publishing if he was aware his lawyers had likened his absences from his family for movie-making to those in the military serving overseas.
Later Wahlberg cleared up his statement with TMZ, saying:
“I didn’t know that it was Tom Cruise who had said that. … Somebody had just mentioned that people were comparing [acting and being in the military]. I love Tom Cruise. He’s a great actor.”
One of my favorite Mark Wahlberg movies ;)
