Mark Wahlberg, Timothée Chalamet, Tom Cruise learn new languages, fly planes and defy death for roles
Fox News
Mark Wahlberg revealed that he struggled to learn a language for his new movie. He's one of many actors, including Tom Cruise and Timothee Chalamet, who have picked up special skills for roles.
He continued, "I’ve done the stunts so many times I just kind of show up on the day and say, ‘OK, this is what we’re going to do’ and make it look real. But with that I want to make sure that I’m not completely butchering the language. And so I studied for months, I kind of write out phonetically and hopefully do a decent job."
