Wahlberg: 'I had problems with Scorcese'

Mark Wahlberg found it difficult working alongside Martin Scorcese on The Departed as the pair were "constantly struggling" with one another.

The actor admits it was a harrowing experience behind the scenes of the Oscar-winning movie, because he had different creative ideas from the director.

He says: "Marty and I were constantly in this struggle. I had problems with Marty. He was: 'I'm Martin Scorsese… da-dee-da.' He was pushing me in different ways."

The star admits playing the role of foul-mouthed cop Sergeant Dignam - which earned him a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination - caused him to take his frustration out on the rest of the cast.

Wahlberg adds: "But it wasn't just Marty. The whole time I was in the character so I was mad at everybody. It was Leo (DiCaprio), Matt (Damon) and Jack (Nicholson).

"We were able to laugh about it afterwards and we have a great relationship now and we're going to do other stuff in the future."
