Mark Wahlberg has revealed he once had a feud with Leonardo DiCaprio, explaining why he never saw eye-to-eye with the actor in the 1990s.
Prior to becoming a Hollywood heavyweight, Mark was actually a rapper called Marky Mark and when he decided to make the leap into the acting world, he landed a role in ‘The Basketball Diaries’ alongside Leo.
However, the pair were hit with claims they’d been “feuding” on set, and discussing the matter a mere 23(!) years later, Mark has detailed what actually happened.
“It wasn’t a disagreement,” he told Extra TV. “I think we both had a specific opinion about each other, certainly…
“As a rapper, I was just kinda out-there and loud and crazy and all this stuff, and it was a very serious movie and this very serious part.
“The director of the film [Scott Kalvert], he had made all my music videos [and] he felt like I was more than capable to play the part, but no one had seen me act in a film, so I had to really kinda just go out there and prove myself.”
The pair managed to work through it in the end though and later reunited for ‘The Departed’ in 2006.
Mark is currently on the promotional trail for his latest movie, ‘Mile 22’, while Leo is busy filming Quentin Tarantino’s star-studded ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’, which is based on the Charles Manson murders.
