Mark Wahlberg says people confuse him for Matt Damon all the time
The best part? He never bothers to correct anyone.
Mark Wahlberg has been starring in movies for more than 20 years and is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. Despite that, he often gets mistaken for another famous Boston actor: Matt Damon.Wahlberg told Extra host Mario Lopez Monday that along with people recognizing him for his roles in Shooter, Four Brothers, Ted, and Boogie Nights, people will tell them they’re huge fans of his work in the Bourne films.“They always say they love me in the Bourne Identity,” Wahlberg said. “I just say, ‘Thank you.’”Wahlberg said that Damon is often the subject of mistaken identity as well.“Matt always gets it all the time too,” Wahlberg said. “[They say,] ‘I loved you in Ted,’ or one of these other movies that I’ve done. We just kind of laugh it off. I never correct anybody. I just say, ‘Thank you very much, I’ve got another one coming out. Watch me in The Bourne Identity 4 this summer.’”Watch the full clip below. (They begin talking about the mistaken identities at the 1:45 mark.)
