Mark Wahlberg, one of the top A List Actors in Hollywood recently revealed how deeply how got into the role for his new character in “The Gambler”, a new film produced and directed by the same man who created The Departed. Many Actors have been known to delve deep into their new roles such as Matthew McConaughey or Christian Bale but Mr. Wahlberg tops them all off as he revealed that he lost $45,000 in a single roulette bet preparing for this role, noting that he got immersed into the world and became his character. The paycheck & future royalties he receives for this movie will more than make up for the $45,000 wager he lost.
Mr. Wahlberg was playing at a casino in Macau, one of the more popular gambling destinations in the world. Macau is so popular that is it beginning to beat out the likes of Las Vegas & Atlantic City. Mark revealed this information while he was promoting his new movie “The Gambler” while on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”. None the less this shocked the audience as this is a year’s wage for the majority of middle class Northern Americans, I suppose that is one of the perks of being a famous Hollywood Star.
Those wishing to see “The Gambler” can do so by attending their local movie theatre’s on Christmas Day, this film will more than likely not receive a large portion of money on its opening day but you can be ensured that it’ll become a successful film in the days coming afterwards its release.
