Mark Wahlberg Reveals What Actually Happened With Kevin Hart
During an interview on the BigBoyTV YouTube channel, Mark Wahlberg was asked about his relationship with Kevin Hart and how they honestly talk to each other about films and other things. Mark Wahlberg responded by saying,
“I went to him with three or four things; it’s funny because he’s very smart and like he’ll give me so much crap he keeps going on and on about how I denied him an opportunity to be on Entourage… Before my entrance, I had clothes on, now I’m naked… he got me **s naked then he put me in daisy dukes.”
Mark Wahlberg also explained how the TV show got popular and how everyone wanted to be a part of the show. Kevin Hart saw the cast of the popular HBO series Entourage from the 2000s as an opportunity to kickstart his career. Considering the show’s immense comedic success during that era, it was a logical choice for him to pursue a role that was up for grabs.
Regrettably, luck was not on his side, as he was unable to secure a part, despite eventually collaborating with executive producer Mark Wahlberg years later on Netflix’s Me Time. In response to this, the comedian humorously decided to playfully call out Wahlberg for not casting him in the comedy and amusingly reveal who ended up snagging the role instead.
