  1. *”I was locked into the part the whole time. So if we weren’t shooting, I was like either off in the corner by myself or I just would kind of go back to my little dressing room and just sit there,” Wahlberg tells PEOPLE of staying in character on set. He last portrayed a villain in 1996’s Fear, opposite Reese Witherspoon.*

    *”I was like the guy who was like constantly picking at them, poking them and prodding them, you know, from the back of the plane the whole entire time,” he adds. “I apologized at the end because I wasn’t very engaging off camera or outside of shooting, but I was just in [that] head space. We only had 22 days of shooting. So it wasn’t four months, five months of this. We shot it very quickly.”*

  2. Dam bro thats wild. Anyway if you want more people to see a movie, dont cast mark wahlberg lmao

  3. Does he have something coming out soon? A new movie or allegation? Every time you see a “he’s a good guy!” piece, it’s to counterbalance or amplify something.

  4. I believe it was the great and late Robert Pattinson who said actors only use method acting when they’re an asshole. You never see an actor method act a happy role.

  5. Thought he locked in to a villain’s role very early on, even before this movie

  7. Mark Wahlberg isn’t a good enough actor to justify method acting.

  8. These kinds of people are the biggest Dbags. You’re a god damn actor, learn to fucking act. I’m shocked this hasn’t been used before “I play a rapist on TV so I figured I should go around raping people to get into character, but that’s not me”.

  10. I bet he locked into it through his history of beating to blindness non white people

  11. Didn’t he say he was only doing religious movies when he launched his stupid Catholic prayer app? Fuck off Marky Mark. Your best days are long behind you. You were great in Fear, Boogie Nights, The Departed and The Other Guys. Please fade into the oblivion now.

  13. I can’t stand this man. He’s soo contrived and calculated, his brother is actually a very decent actor – Mark is still mediocre. I just find him so fraudulent, like his “commitment to Catholicism” in order to get a pardon for the vicious assault. Or him & the pray app …. 

  14. Ohhh, so he was being *method* back in 1988 when he seemed like a violent teenage turd who viciously beat people up? How farsighted of him.

  15. What’d he do, beat up another elderly Asian person?

  16. he must have channeled his inner self and pulled out the violent racist he’s been suppressing all this time

  19. He wasn’t a villain in Pain & Gain? What did I watch?

  21. Oh so he was an asshole, and doing a little PR spin now; cool, cool, cool!

  22. Wahlbergs people: hey let’s leak a story to the press talking how Mark had to apologize to the crew for being so method. The reverse psychology will make people curious about how intense he is and they’ll see the movie in droves.

    Nice try, still not seeing it.

  29. He should apologise to the audience that paid good money to watch that trash film

  30. No one is ever locked into nice guy roles it’s always villains

  31. Isn’t Mark Wahlberg just playing as himself on his movies? So is he apologizing because he’s acting like himself?

  32. His personality disorder comes from having a third nipple.

  33. A Mel Gibson directed movie starring mark wahlberg failed in 2025? I wonder why! /s
