Mark Wahlberg is a Boston native, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that he’s a Brady fan. Brady gets to reap the benefits of the fandom by landing roles in Ted 2 and Entourage, both Wahlberg films. In a recent interview with ESPN’s Bill Simmons, Wahlberg talks about Brady’s role in Ted 2.
“Tom’s in the movie. He plays himself, but he does an amazing job. Funny, funny moment.”
Mark says he plays a Boston repair man guy who gets a call to service Tom’s house — and hilarity ensues when he tries to play it off like he doesn’t recognize the QB.
“I’m playing an air conditioning guy, so I’m asking [Tom] to sign the paper … and then I say, ‘Can you sign that to me and Ted’ … and, you know, ‘Put #12 there’ … and ‘Can you put Eli Manning Sucks?’ and ‘Can you put Wes Welker’s a traitor?’
