‘HOW F***ING DARE YOU’: ‘LONE SURVIVOR’ STAR MARK WAHLBERG RANTS AGAINST HOLLYWOOD PRIVILEGE, GIVES EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS’ SACRIFICE

It appears Tom Cruise’s controversial assertion that being away from his daughter while shooting a movie on location is as “brutal” as what soldiers go through while deployed in Afghanistan isn’t going away just yet.
Fellow actor Mark Wahlberg seemed to make sure of that Tuesday night.

While not invoking Cruise by name, Wahlberg seemed to come pretty close during a highly emotional Q&A session for the premiere of “Lone Survivor,” sitting with Marcus Luttrell, the celebrated former SEAL who the highly anticipated film is based upon.
“For actors to sit there and talk about, ‘Oh I went to SEAL training,’ and I slept on the — I don’t give a f*** what you did. You don’t do what these guys did,” Wahlberg said after the “Lone Survivor” screening, according to The Wrap.

“For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as somebody in the military’s. How f***ing dare you. While you sit in a makeup chair for two hours,” he said.

Wahlberg made no bones about the fact that the effort behind filmmaking isn’t in the same universe as what soldiers have to endure.

“I don’t give a s*** if you get your a** busted. You get to go home at the end of the day. You get to go to your hotel room. You get to order f***ing chicken. Or your steak. Whatever the f*** it is.”
Wahlberg then mentioned Luttrell by name, honoring his and all soldiers’ service to America, while placing what he himself does for a living in stark contrast.

“I trained for four-and-a-half years, and I was ‘The Fighter’ and … f*** all that. It really means nothing,” Walberg said. “I love Marcus for what he’s done, and I’m a very lucky guy to do what I do, and I’m proud to have been part of it, but it’s just so much bigger than what I do.”

If there was any endorsement of the job he and other actors did as part of “Lone Survivor,” Wahlberg indicated it was all about the details and making sure it was authentic.

Director Peter Berg “would never let any one of us forget about what was important in the course of making the movie and whether it was Marcus or the other SEAL guys,” Wahlberg said.

“If they saw something that didn’t ring true, I don’t care if it was going to be the biggest stunt sequence in the movie, they would cut, call bulls***, and grab all of us by the f***ing back of the neck and say, ‘No, do it this way, and do it right and make it real,’ and if you don’t, it’s a problem. I was really proud to be a part of that.”
