God bless Mark Wahlberg who has the guts to say when most of us could only whisper, that the over-rated 'Ocean' franchise were bad movies. Wahlberg turned down a role and the chance to pal around with George Clooney and his posse - and doesn't regret it.
When Zoo magazine asked the actor if he really refused to work in the “Ocean’s” films, Wahlberg said, “Yeah — and it was well worth it,” adding, “the second one sucked!”
“People tell George Clooney it's great, but we all know it sucked,” the “Boogie Nights” star said.
“I made two bad movies instead — ‘Planet of the Apes’ and ‘The Truth About Charlie’ — but doing that was better than sitting with Brad (Pitt) and George, telling the press how great everybody is! ‘We were in Europe, George was funny, then we had some wine ...’ — that's not for me.”
He tempered his diss with an olive branch though, saying of George - who he worked with in "The Perfect Storm" - and the rest of the actors, “I do love those guys, but I had to step out on my own.”
