Actor Mark Wahlberg, who had recently spoken about his feud with Leonardo DiCaprio, is open to working with the Oscar winner in another film.

The 47-year-old actor and DiCaprio had disliked each other during the making of The Basketball Diaries (1995).

In an interview with Extra, Wahlberg elaborated on his spat, saying they became “fast friends” afterwards.

“It wasn’t a disagreement. It was just, like, I think we both had a specific opinion about each other, certainly. I was just, ya know, as a rapper, I was just kinda out-there and loud and crazy and all this stuff, and it was a very serious movie and this very serious part, and so the director of the film, he had made all my music videos, he felt like I was more than capable to play the part,” he said. “But no one had seen me act in a film, so I had to really kinda just go out there and prove myself. Once I finally got to the point where I was able to audition and read with him, then we just both kinda looked at each other, we were like, ‘Wow!’ We were literally out that night and we became fast friends.”

Wahlberg replied in the affirmative when asked whether he would act with DiCaprio in another film. He said: “We’ve talked about it.”

He had revealed during his address at the 2018 LEAP Foundation Conference that DiCaprio was not keen on having Wahlberg in the 1995 film, which led to a brief dispute between the two. “He didn’t want me for the part, and I didn’t think he was right for the part,” Wahlberg had said.

It was the second feature for Wahlberg, who had played Mickey in The Basketball Diaries, after he had switched from music to acting. He went on to star in Boogie Nights, Planet Of The Apes and The Departed, where he once again acted alongside DiCaprio.
