Mark Wahlberg has admitted that The Happening was a “bad movie” and that Amy Adams “dodged a bullet” by not starring in it.
The 2008 eco-thriller from filmmaker M Night Shyamalan, which was slammed by critics, depicted plant life turning against mankind.
Despite promoting The Happening during its release and having only positive things to say about the film and director Shyamalan, Wahlberg has now admitted it sucked.
Speaking at a media conference for his latest film The Fighter, Wahlberg stated the following:
“I was such a huge fan of [Amy Adams]. We’d actually had the luxury of having lunch before to talk about another movie, and it was a bad movie that I did. She dodged the bullet. I don’t want to tell you what movie… All right, The Happening with M Night Shyamalan. It is was it is. F**king trees, man, the plants. F**k it. You can’t blame me for wanting to try to play a science teacher. You know? I wasn’t playing a cop or a crook.”
Online reports recall the room erupting into laughter as Wahlberg made the comments.
