WAHLBERG IMPRESSED WITH SCORSESE’S GANGSTER MOVIE KNOWLEDGE
Movie star MARK WAHLBERG has developed an unlikely friendship with his THE DEPARTED director MARTIN SCORSESE because they share a passion for gangster movies and mobster fashion.
The odd couple is working on a new TV series, Boardwalk Empire, set in the 1920s, and Wahlberg reveals his pal knows everything there is to know about gangster culture - and he’s very impressed with his "encyclopaedic knowledge".
He says, "Every time you talk to the guy it’s like a history lesson. I mean he’s talking about movies that were made in the 1930s. He knows what year they were made based on how the hairstyles are.
"Even if they’re supposed to take place in, like, 1830, he’s like, ‘Oh, they shot that in 1932 because they have such-and-such a haircut’."
