Mark Wahlberg reflected on clashing with legendary director Martin Scorsese during filming of their 2006 movie 'The Departed.'
Mark Wahlberg revealed that he was 'a little pissed' while filming his Academy Award-winning movie 'The Departed' due to disagreements with the crime thriller's director, Martin Scorsese. The 52-year-old actor starred alongside stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson and Alec Baldwin in the 2006 film helmed by the 82-year-old legendary filmmaker.
Originally, I was supposed to play another part,' he told podcast host Josh Horowitz. 'We agreed that I would play Dignam,' Wahlberg said of his conversations with Scorsese. 'And I saw the advantages of playing that part and how I would approach the situation with everybody playing opposite me.' However, a scheduling conflict and a hair dispute arose as Wahlberg had signed on to star in the biographical sports drama 'Invincible' after shooting 'The Departed.
The role required him to grow out his hair so that he would more closely resemble Vitale at the time period in which the movie was set. 'I was going into ‘Invincible’ after I was trying to grow my hair out, which is why I had that weird hair,' he explained. 'Everybody's like, ‘What was that wig about? I was like, ’It was not a wig. I was just trying to grow my hair for the next film.
