Mark Wahlberg opens up about an old feud with Leonardo DiCaprio in The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor reveals that DiCaprio was furious about the possibility of Wahlberg appearing with him in the 1995 movie The Basketball Diaries.
“Leonardo was like, ‘Over my dead f—ing body. Marky Mark’s not going to be in this f—ing movie,’” recalls Wahlberg. “Because we’d had a thing — I didn’t even realize it, [but] I was a bit of a d*ck to him at a charity basketball game. So he was like, ‘This f—ing a**hole is not going to be in this movie.’”
But the pair found peace after DiCaprio agreed to do a reading with him.
Wahlberg tells the magazine, “So I come in and I do the audition and I kind of look at him and he kind of looks at me, and then we do a scene, and they’re like, ‘Hmm, this f—ing dude’s pretty good, right?’”
“The next thing you know, boom, we’re hanging out,” he says.
A true Hollywood ending.
