Mark Wahlberg needed a lot of solo time on his latest movie set.
Whalberg portrays a hit man pretending to be a pilot whose targets are a U.S. Marshal (Michelle Dockery) and fugitive Winston (Topher Grace) in the new thriller “Flight Risk.”, directed by Mel Gibson.
Wahlberg revealed he took a new approach to getting into character. “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,” “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.”
The last time Wahlberg took on the on the villain role was in 1996’s Fear opposite Reese Witherspoon.
Is it just me or do you also like to see one of the nicest humans and actors on the planet get to play the “bad boy”. Whalberg does it so well on screen.
