Mark Wahlberg nailed Tom Cruise

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. --Mark Wahlberg went on a rant against actors who’ve compared training for a role to soldiers at war, and though the expletive-laced speech came on the heels of a story claiming Tom Cruise had done just that, Mark said his remarks were not directed at Tom.

“I was not talking about Tom Cruise,” Mark told Access Hollywood at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday night, of his highly-publicized rant at a Q and A for his new Navy SEALs movie, “Lone Survivor.” “Somebody had mentioned to me as we were going up to talk that an actor had compared what we do to being in Afghanistan.

“I’ve been to Afghanistan and I’ve been acting for quite some time and that is a very unfair comparison, especially considering what happened to those guys up on that mountain, and what continues to happen to our men and women in the armed forces,” he continued, referencing his movie, the true story of Marcus Luttrell and SEAL Team 10.

Mark Wahlberg to Tom Cruise: ‘How F*cking Dare You’ Compare Acting to Afghanistan

Matt Wilstein posted the story today, November 13th, 2013, along with this video.


Really great but I still think it was even worse when they tried to explain what Cruise said and then compared his life to deployed parents fighting to keep their kids.
"Moss took issue with a magazine headline referring to Cruise having broken a promise to attend his daughter's first day of school. "But the truth, as you know, is that Mr. Cruise is a devoted father, who simply happens to be working in London on film. By your reasoning, any actor who is shooting on location in a foreign country could be charged with child abandonment, as could all of the mothers and fathers serving overseas in the military."

Yep. That made it worse. But have to love Mark Wahlberg!
