Mark Wahlberg Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ - Zábava
His performance in The Departed was incredible. Loved every second he was on screen
Yeah I watched the Departed much later in life, and I was blown away by how Mark almost loomed over Matt and Leo while being a side character. Very impressive.
Horrible Man, is that the movie where he wearing surgical gloves and bootie shoes and put a bullet in Matt Damien head?
Greatest ending ever
AwesomeBlackDude Yeah its the final scene. When we think the movie is over Matt gets shot and we see Mark in the anti-splatter suit.
the sequel has been in production some time now, he reprises his role. his character is the lead
Leornado Dicaprio should break down his scenes
Thanduxolo Tshabalala what a waste of DiCaprio’s time
Would be a 7 day video if that happened
Oh please yes!
He should break down his Oscar Speech
You can break down most of his scenes with "talking loudly, grunting and overacting".
“IM A PEACOCK YOU GOTTA LET ME FLY”
🤣🤣🤣
Peacock's are flightless, right?
@@Arun-nv8zi They do, but not for a very long time.
Don't go chasing waterfalls
@@JMPK23 is that accidental or are you quoting TLC on purpose? 🤣
I came here for “fear”
Same
Ted
Of course you came here for Fear Jayden . You a girl lol
The movie fear and the character David McCall seduces every girl that has ever watched that movie .
That movie made every girl in the 90s crazy for Mark Walhberg lol
Kiss Me Im Slytherin I wanna say you’re wrong but you’re 100% right. I watched that movie in high school and I was so confused because his character scared tf out of me and wanted him to get killed, but I couldn’t get over how fine Mark is lmao he’s still fine but now he’s DILF material
@@Feliciatanktop lol Thank you for being honest and not denying it .
Every girl that i have told to watch that movie and to tell me what they think always come back telling me how they were so drawn to David McCall and how they desired and wanted him despite being freaked out by him and some of them even told me they would love it if he stalked them 😐
I have yet to meet a girl who can watch the entire movie and not feel anything at all towards Mark Whalberg .
Kinda upset he didn't talk about his movie "Four Brothers" cause that is one of my favorite Mark Wahlberg movies
Great movie that is not very known for some reason.
Agreed it really is a good movie!
Where's Pain & Gain!?!?!?!?
Same
Great movie loved it
The Other Guys is a super underrated comedy
James Burgess Thanks for saying that man.
James Burgess “aim for the bushes”
James Burgess and now that we've tasted your flesh we have said to each other we like lion. Lion taste good. Other guys is one that I can watch every week and never get tired of
Agree brother, the silent fight always crack me up
I was JUST re-watching this the other day... There's so much in the film... on going jokes galore like the Gator thing, the TLC stuff, Will Ferrell attracting hot girls, Mark Wahlberg talking about peacocks.
Mark: “I don’t really like sci-fi movies”
A couple years later: “I’ll audition for transformers”
Hard to say no when they back that money truck into your driveway
Shia labouf misbehaved with the director that's why they casted wahlberg!
@@Q1424. I’m pretty sure he just wanted to be done with those movies, he absolutely cannot stand them, and I don’t blame him the movies are so racist and just flat out bad movies in general and they get worse and worse the more they make
Fun fact Mark Wahlberg hates boogie nights even though its his best role
Same with Burt Reynolds
@@JRok07 Yes, they were both excellent in that movie and I'd agree that it is likely Wahlbergs best.
worse 2 hrs off my life, i was let down by 12 people, i liked one scene where the gave him his name that scene was funny and good and the scence where he fights with his mom and she trashes his future and he cries like i did at 16
How did Lone survivor and four brothers not make it into this?
Shooter was left out, too --- a travesty
Because they both sucked.
Exactly the two titles I thought of and couldn't believe weren't included!
@@reddog418 four brothers is his best movies what you mean????
Lone survivor should have definitely been in this.
Four brothers, Italian job, shooter, lone survivor, pain & gain???
Rock Star
The Big Hit
Lone Survivor is definitely one of his best movies.
GetPaidWithKyle missed em all
Italian Job has some star power to it and really entrenched him as a mainstream star. Plus he coulda talked about Spacey. Such a lost opportunity
I can’t believe he originally said “no” to Martin Scorcese but said “yes” right away to The Happening 😏
My first reaction is how does anyone, ever, say no to Scorcese. Thinking about it for a second, is this integrity or shortsighted?
Yeah, The Happening...... maybe just bad decisions.
Well M.N.S was on a bit of a hot streak.
I also didn't hate the happening like everyone else. It was entertaining 🤷🏼♂️ Literally the same premise of Bird Box way before
@@NobodyUR I liked it alot
@@homefront3162 good on you for having your own opinion. Serious not being sarcastic here.
Maybe ego and paycheque?? In Scorsese’s The Departed he wasn’t the lead and had a minor role as part of an ensemble but he was the lead in The Happening

D'aw no transformers. I wanted to see what he would've said about that lmao
Thank you so much !!
Can’t believe they didn’t put lone survivor in this
How you don’t talk about 4 brothers
What about lone survivor
Two Guns with him and Denzel Washington is an underrated movie. They had great chemistry together.
rhackett25 underrated comic too
thought it got a little stupid at times, wouldn't put it in his top 10 films
Good film 2 guns.deepwater horizon was ok the happening was a poor film but the acting was great
One of my favourite movies ever!!
@@mlk7092 it's my top favorite.
Epic. Hilarious. Hard core action. Deep plots.
The balls on Wahlberg to try turning down Departed. If Scorsese calls and wants you to play the janitor in the background, you ask, “How fast do I mop?”
to turn down Scorsese but not Michael Bay does take some balls
The second Scorsese asks you to be in his movie, there is no other option but to say “yes” immediately. Even if the role is small, you can’t turn down one of the greatest directors to ever live.
Oh I am mopping baby! Marky Mark. Jesus Christ dude.
but still you were not the ones Scorsese asked so I guess your subjective opinion does not really matter, no offense just saying.
Spoiled baby.
I've watched The Other Guys so many times I can quote almost the entire movie. Mark Wahlberg was brilliant, but really the entire cast and the writing were perfect. It's a perfect 10 for me.
It's funny he didn't think the Big Hit was a comedy.
The world needs The Other Guys 2.
Fear...
I just watched it now here comes my mark wahlberg obsession 💀😌
I mean, no "Invincible", no "Rock Star", no "Shooter", no "Lone Survivor".....he left out some of his best roles.
Four Brothers too... I don't understand.
I imagine GQ picks the movies these people talk about
And no transformers either, definitely his greatest performance
I think it would be difficult to talk about lone survivor, but I get it.
Agreed!
He played his part so good in Fear
“That’s marky mark! That’s fear!”
@@codykendall2846 yeah he was still doing Music when fear came out in 96 as Marky Mark
@@adampruitt9211 I was quoting “it’s always sunny in Philadelphia”
Yes
The peephole scene traumatized me lmao
Honestly I worked with him once. The most professional actor I have ever seen by far. Very smart and kind person in real life too.
Cap
Maybe he ist as charismatic as The Rock, but you cannot help … but love is attitude towards working hard. Watch the James Cordan videi where he works out at 4 in the morning.
I loved Deepwater Horizon. Probably my favourite and most memorable film that Mark’s been in. I felt so invested throughout and it felt so realistically intense.
thats Matt Damon...
@@davidadmasu4874 I genuinely doubted myself thinking I had mixed them up again. No, it was Mark.
@Kleio Chronicles it definitely was mark
y’all should get Keanu Reeves on one of these videos!!!
YES
It probably would last 30 minutes to an hour
John wick Don't do interviews
Woooah!
Facts
The scenes with him confused about Will’s wife in The Others Guys always makes me laugh. Definitely one of the funniest scenes
No really who is she
Why would they think he went too far ? He was hilarious.
The goodbyes were hilarious kept saying bye sheila and will was getting nothing 😂
@@mattt3942 Well in the current Me Too climate it definitely wouldn't slide.
🤔🧐🤨👄🕵🏼..... WHY ARE YOU WITH ALAN!?!?!
Crazy how Boogie Nights and Ted are two of the greatest movies ever and Mark almost passed on both of them.
Oh please, Ted isn't even the best movie about a talking bear, let alone best ever
picking his movies clearly isnt his strong part lol
@bat country is there another movie about a teddies bear that comes close to ted?
@@Cr4nched comedy wise? In that era? Goated so cry.😊
I wish he talked about The Lovely Bones.
shooter was great too
same here
wow really, thought a james bond film would be your fav
Best Movie of all time
One of his best for sure.
james bond Dope movie
The Basketball Diaries, Boogie Nights, Ted, Lone Survivor,The Departed, Pain and Gain, The Other Guys, Etccc. This guy had some characters you just cant forget.
Bruno Gonzalez you forgot 4 brothers
The big hit 😂
Fear 1996 one of his best ever
Mark is a rare case where he actually gains more skill the older he gets...
Can you think of "peak" Wahlberg in the way you can think of "peak" Pacino, Denzel, Nicholson, Brando, Dustin Hoffman or Hopkins? Mark was never ever close to their level but he gradually gains a little more ability with every movie. Pretty interesting. Shame he's been nowhere near a great part by any other actor's standards but he plays great in some of the stuff he takes on.
What he does in Ted is fantastic and extremely skillful. The issue is that he does it so real that nobody sees the subtle acting. I mean, we all believe his best buddy's a talking Teddy bear, for real.
"I'm the guy who breaks down his most iconic characters. You must be the other guy."
*I’m a peacock, ya gotta let me fly!!!*
Fear's "David" character is my favorite of all time
Cool to hear about the fighter. Was a great movie, never suspected it had troubles in development.
Gotta rewatch Ted for sure
Can't imagine being offered a part in Scorsese film and being like 'meh'
Apparently he's still salty about Scorsese not giving him Leo's part😋😆
Sorry for him but Leo's great in his roles
@aaronsdavis And I agree. The role he played was perfect for him...be that as it may, he still resented supporting Leo. Funny fact is that his agent actually threatened to quit if he wouldn't take Scorsese's offer.
my EXACT THOUGHT. like what kinda life would I have to lead to be like "gee marty, Idk about all this. Got any things else?"
@@Tusc9969 Ironic because Leo in-part really gave Whalbergs career the boost it needed at the start. He vocally advocated for him when he was barely known.
"Oh we met. Briefly, but we met"
😂😂😂
I wanted to hear the rest of that story
@@BreakfastKing did he not? was skipping through most of everything to try to find it
Makes me just want to watch Fear again
The departed Sergeant Dignam by far is my favorite.
"Say hi to your mother for me!"
Now that's funny, got me laughing in real life... haha
Anytime I see this or hear it, it's always in his voice, LOL
World Wide Wong /iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I wonder if he wanted Leo's or Damon's part...
Why does he seem like he'll talk to animals for real tho lol
Mark was phenomenal in Four Brothers. One of my favorites of all time and he absolutely killed it as Bobby.
Keannu Bain absolutely 👏🏻🙌🏻
yup
I was looking to see if anyone else mentioned that movie. I wish it was on here because I would love to hear him talk about it. In my opinion that is one of his best films.
Shooter and Lone survivor where also amazing movie!!!And omg Mile 22🔥🔥 I'm about to got watch mile 22 again rn lol.
I can’t believe 4 brothers wasn’t in this or rockstar 😭
Four brothers is the reason I clicked on this lol
I was looking forward to that.
So relieved he mentioned The Other Guys. Felt like he really wanted to talk about it too. It's criminally overlooked and underrated even though it's one of the funniest movies in modern cinema, and one could make the case for all-time.
Mark Wahlberg: "They pitch it and it's a buddy and his teddy bear and they're smoking weed.... And I'm like- no, no. I'm not doing that"
Also Mark Wahlberg: "Transformers 5! HERE WE GOOOO! OPTIMUSSS!!!!"
'Cause money...
Transformers was already an established blockbuster that raked in millions every single time they were released. Even if you hated them each one individually made more money than all the subscribers to this channel will ever see
@@painhurtssometimes2185 Exactly so if the concept of transforming robots wasn't so silly, why is a raunchy comedy about a guy & his talking teddy bear be too farfetched?
@@SkullAngel002 I just said why. He came in around the 4th movie after it thr franchise had already made over a billion dollars. Ted was a new concept and new movie. It would take a bit more convincing to make a movie about a weed smoking teddy bear than a series that is already respected and known. Be honest btw Micheal Bay transformers had some of the best cgi and fight scenes ever.
@@painhurtssometimes2185 Exactly it's public knowledge the box office successes of the first 3 Transformers movies clearly showed the concept of transforming robots wasn't silly (and Wahlberg knew this). But a comedy about a talking teddy bear is? That's the point I was making. Also it's been proven this genre works. Look at Mister Ed (6 seasons), Alvin & the Chipmunks, Garfield, Dr. Dolittle, Guardians of the Galaxy, Planet of the Apes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc
wanted to hear him talk about Pain & Gain, really like his acting in that one
"Transformer?"
Markymark: we dont talk about that
His role in TED is a masterwork. He's such a dour, sullen personality, that you can't imagine him playing such a role, but he does it effortlessly.
When you think of Mark, you don't think of him as having a particularly prolific or significant set of films behind him, probably because of the type of character he tends to play, but he's done some pretty high quality projects with great actors and excellent directors... This was fairly interesting :)

I've been watching those interviews you guys made with legendary actors and I gotta say, these videos should get waaaay more views. I'm surprised.
Boogie Nights his most iconic role IMO, he was perfect for that role. And what an insanely great movie.
boogie nights was amazing. what a soundtrack too
“Shooter” is one of my personal favorite movies of all time. Mark did an exceptional job in that movie.
His stare in the fire cracker scene in boogie nights is amazing
It was kind of epic, with how Mark perfectly hit those flat/sour notes, in the Boogie Nights music recording studio scene.
Mark Wahlberg's role in "The Happening" was pretty iconic IMO. Granted it's iconic for all the wrong reasons but still iconic nonetheless.
doesn't seem like he wanted to make any of these movies lol
He obviously did or why would he do it and I know your gonna just say for money but still he could do something else if he didn’t like it
Come on, guys. He does start several of the presentations by stating that he - initially - didn't want to do the movie.
And then he changed his mind, obviously.
Maybe he just didn’t want to do this thing lol
He just want the paycheck eventhough he was pretty good in many of his movies
LMAO!!!!
That naming the white trash names scene in Ted is legendary. In some ways I think comedy is even harder than drama. When you think about method actors Mark isn't the first name to come to mind, but he always brings it big time. I'm glad he didn't mention the Transformers...that was just a paycheck.
GQ is the tonight show of interviews. I like how they show the movie name instead of asking. The actor gets to talk as long as they want not censored, not interrupted
Boogie nights was far and away the best mark wahlberg movie. His performance was outstanding
For me he kind of ruins it. I believe DiCaprio had to turn it down due to titanic but he would have been a lot better in my opinion.
He’s always amazing on screen. Seems like an awesome dude, as well. Love this guy.
Four brothers is a classic and probably my favorite movie ever, I kinda wish he woulda mentioned Contraband because I felt like his character in that movie was extremely genuine and authentic. Nevertheless he is easily one of my favorite actors and his versatility in film in amazing.
No mention of Invincible either 😢
He’s made so many good movies lol
Pain and Gain and Fear is the pinnacle of Mark Wahlberg's career.
He sounds like such a chill and down-to-Earth guy.
Yes he is but a no nonsense guy and a very strict parent as well
I don’t get that impression at all. I think that’s the vibe he consciously tries to put out but he’s really wound tight as a snare drum and everything in his life has to be done a certain way or it’s the highway.
What about 4 brothers that's my favorite mark Walberg film
I like that one a lot too. Its based off the John wayne western the sons of Katie elder i believe
Would have liked to have heard about Deepwater Horizon and Patriots Day.
MikeMJPMUNCH facts!
MikeMJPMUNCH i know! Two Amazing movies. Is great in thosw
way to recent of movies to be considered iconic, but yes great movies
Niko Fonseca true
The reason he's doing this is to promote mile 22 so that has to be included. so I presume they felt those movies might be too similar
The firecracker scene in Boogie Nights was so epic! Mark’s stare and Thomas Jane describing the safe under the bed. Just awesome!!
The Departed was incredible. Every single character was memorable. He was a fool to ever say no.
Boogie Nights is the one
Re: 'The Departed' - "I wanted a different part"...makes me wonder if he was gunning for Leo's role (Billy Costigan) or Damon's character (Colin Sullivan).
I think so
Riiighteous
Exceptionally talented actor, and when you consider how much he's actually done between acting and music and directing and producing. He's easily a legend.
Ted still one of my favs to the day😎
Sam Smith oh yea yea
Noel Rivera oh meow meow oh yeah yeah oh max max
are you okay sir?
Zack A. Google up maxamillionmus and you’ll see what we are doing
ok so this is epic
The Departed is such an incredible movie. For some reason it's easy to over look Mark when thinking of great actors but he really has done some incredible performances. And I love his comedic roles.
FEAR will always be Mark Wahlberg Greatest movie 👌
Couldn’t agree more
Nah bro boogie nights is his best
Truly an Icon.
Forgot about Four Brothers and Lone Survivor? Someone dropped the ball.
Even being _considered_ for a role in a Martin Scorsese movie is something most actors can only dream of. I've got nothing against Wahlberg but the guy isn't exactly Daniel Day Lewis.
Nobody is, what’s your point?
@@DignanWith28Felonies. That's not true... Daniel Day Lewis is... ;-)
Daniel Michael Blake Day Lewis is my favorite actor.
Seems like he was sour grapes about something
@Andres Urrutia and even still he gets to be in the end of the movie
Shooter, Lone Survivor and Rockstar are 3 I would of loved to hear about
Nick yeah I think GQ picks the movies he talks about
I literally love Mark's historical/action movie like Mile 22 and lone survivor ect.
Mark can't break down every one of his iconic characters in one CZcams video, it would need a 2 hour documentary.
biggest platform in the world why cant he..............
He stole all the scenes he was in, in "The Basketball Diaries", that's what got me hooked on him. Even when he's in bad films, he's always interesting to watch. He's great in "Fear" and "Boogie Nights". Also really heartbreaking in the torture scene in "Three Kings"
I know he doesn't like to speak about his past but I think it would inspire some people to change going through the same thing. His past probably helped with his character in Basketball Diaries
Honestly watching all these and hearing about where they go around the world and how they have so much fun. I might go into acting.. maybe
"Pain & Gain". That's all.
Support Film Art thats not his only good movie KaChow
Exactly!
That movie would be universally beloved if it wasn't a Michael Bay movie.
One of the worst performances and films I’ve ever seen. A complete waste of time and money.
Chris cox Said no one except you. P.S. You really need to watch more movies.
4 brothers was my favorite 🙏💯
Can't tell if his acting is better than his directing or vice versa💯 He's so real.
You are going to have to get this man back. He didn’t talk about the corruptor, lovely bones, Renaissance man, shooter, 2. Guns, four brothers, lone survivor, broken city….
Little disappointed that he didn’t talk about Rockstar or Shooter.
Arguably his two best roles after "Boogie Nights"
Max disappointment, no four brothers. Wtf are they doing?
rockstar has got to be my favorite mark wahlberg movie
oh man I freaking didn't even think about Rockstar. Wow that was such a great movie
I don’t know about any of you guys but I’ve loved ‘Pain and Gain’
#Fuckmichealbay
He is very handsome. Great actor also.
It would've been priceless if Robin Williams would still be around to recap his movie rolls.
It would be
What about his role as Chris “Izzy” Coles in Rock Star?? Loved him in that one. Soundtrack was awesome.
Man no love for Steel Dragon. Still my favorite Mark Wahlberg movie. STAND UP AND SHOOOOOOUUUTTTT!!!!!!!! 💀🤘🎸🔥
@J Wil weirdo
@@bhump6216 schizo
i had a instructor at a trucking school to get my CDL, he used to drive trucks for movies, for example he drove optimus prims in transformers.
He was doing a movie and mark was in it as well, well basically he said the guy who was taking care of mark (brings drinks etc) caught the football him and his freinds were throwing around and mark flipped on him and treated him like trash, well my instructor told mark that he better run fast (he was in charge of the explosives in the movie as well) and mark got scared and wanted him off the movie, never happened though and i dont know if the story is true or not, ive heard mark is a good person and i hope that it didnt happen or if it did he apologized to the guy.
either way his movies are great i decided to share this because i remembered my instructor telling us this
The other guys. Best comedy ever! I’m surprised they didn’t ask about Pain & Gain?
0:24 Basketball Diaries 3:14 Boogie Nights, 4:45 3 Kings, 5:52 Perfect Storm, 7:26 Planet of The Apes, 8:30 I heart Huckabees, 9:25 Departed, 10:25 The Fighter, 12:30 Ted, 13:50 The Other Guys, 15:58 Mile 22. God how were they this lazy not to include this?
You forgot Fear.
@@thegodfather1907 what about Deepwater Horizon???? That was great movie 🎥.
Him and Will Farrel make an awesome duo
It's amazing to me how much this guy has done despite how badly he seems so reluctant to do literally anything. Every project, "Didn't want to do this movie, didn't want to talk to this guy, didn't want to try this, not really into this" Some people are just born stupidly lucky.
It’s probably his nonchalant attitude and resistance that makes him more desirable. Not luck it’s an art
Four brothers? Sniper? Contraband? This guy is amazing!
Everyone is mad about shooter and lone survivor but what about the lovely bones
Rockstar, Four brothers D:
the LADS and the BOYS dont want to hear about some chick flick he was in
(this is sarcasm that movie was brilliant)
They skipped his best movie The Happening
Yeah maybe if that movie didn't suck royally...
You want a lovely bone? Haha
UMM EXCUSE ME THE ITALIAN JOB WTF??
WTF, NO MARKY MARK TRAINING VIDEO
No "Shooter" either. WTF that's one of my favs of his.
I'm disappointed that Four Brothers wasn't there either :(
Or lone survivor
Pain and gain
I love how each actor interprets the character breakdown differently
Ok dat Intro Was The Best lol🤣🤣🤣
I’m Butt hurt he didn’t break down lone survivor
IMGx Whiskey
Dude, yes!!
That's one of his best movies!
IMGx Whiskey facts
Or Italian job
the big hit
Only reason why I clicked
