Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart have teamed up for a buddy comedy on Netflix called ‘Me Time’, but Mark didn’t expect to be doing his first nude scene ever when he signed up for the movie. Now the actor formerly known as Marky Mark reveals how it happened.
In an interview Big Boy’s Neighborhood posted on Thursday, August 25, Mark Wahlberg stopped by to talk about everything from his time as the leader of the Funky Bunch to his gym F45. To kick off the conversation, Big Boy and Wahlberg spoke about his new film with Hart, Me Time. That’s when he revealed how Hart added his first nude scene into the script.
“He [Hart] came to me with [the movie] and John Hamberg and I said, ‘Absolutely,’” Wahlberg recalled. “But then, of course, they rewrote the part a little bit because, before my entrance, I had clothes on. Now I’m naked.”
“They had me out there in Long Beach for 12 hours, a– -out,” Wahlberg said. “I just got a pair of Travis Scott Jordans on. Got me a– naked, then he put me in Daisy Dukes.”
“I mean, he did me dirty,” added Hollywood favorite Wahlberg.
The scene in question is where Huck (Mark Wahlberg) meets his long-time buddy Sonny (Kevin Hart), but Huck is in nothing but his sneakers. The scene took around 12 hours to completely shoot, leaving Wahlberg to suffer in the elements.
In the end, Wahlberg was so OK with the nude scenes that he even sat his wife and daughter down — without context — to watch it.
“The first time I first come out a— naked, my daughter — her face was purple but laughing hysterically,” Wahlberg recalled. “I mean, she was a little embarrassed but she couldn’t stop, man.”
Earlier this month, he also revealed that his kids are “terribly embarrassed” by his fashion choices during the 1990s and his “Good Vibrations” days.
