Actor
Mark
Wahlberg,
who
thinks
that
he
is
still
young,
was
shocked
when
he
was
asked
to
portray
the
character
of
an
older
person.
The
Fighter
star
assumed
he
was
playing
the
younger
role
when
he
first
got
the
offer.
The
40-year-old
actor
even
went
on
looking
for
co-stars
to
play
the
role
of
the
'older'
guy
in
the
upcoming
Paramount
Pictures
movie.
Mark
Wahlberg
was
told
by
the
filmmakers
that
they
wanted
him
to
portray
the
'older'
guy.
Initially
Troy
actor,
Garrett
Hedlund
was
considered
for
the
younger
role
but
later
Justin
Bieber
was
signed.
“I
get
this
call
from
Paramount
(where
they
tell
me
about
the
story
about)
an
old
guy
and
a
young
guy.
I'm
like,
'Cool,
let's
get
Jack
(Nicholson).
Let's
get
Robert
De
Niro.
Let's
get
Robert
Duvall.'
And
they
go,
'What
about
Garrett
Hedlund?'
I'm
like,
'For
what?'
They're
like,
'For
the
young
guy," MTV
news
quoted
Wahlberg
as
saying.
