“If Tom goes somewhere else, I’ll support him. He’s given us so much joy in six Super Bowls. I can root for him,” Wahlberg told Kimmel.

“I think he has an idea of what he wants to do, and I want him to do what’s best for him and his family. He’s brought us so much joy. I think hopefully the Patriots will be smart enough to pay him. I think if not, the Raiders are obviously an option,” said Wahlberg. “He’s gonna want to go somewhere where he can win.”

Wahlberg worked with Brady on his film Ted 2, where Brady made a cameo as himself during the movie.

Kimmel asks whether Brady likes him or Matt Damon more, to which Wahlberg responds, “Me. I actually put him in a movie. We immortalized him in Ted 2.”

Recent reports from ESPN’s Jeff Darlington suggest Brady is likely to leave New England: “Tom Brady is currently operating under the belief that he will enter free agency to play somewhere other than New England next season,” he said.

Post Malone makes his acting debut in the Netflix movie Spenser Confidential, and he has the film’s leading star & co-producer Mark Wahlberg to thank for fighting to make sure the “Sunflower” emcee landed a good part. So, to thank his fellow thespian, Posty decided to order hundreds of burgers from Wahlberg’s burger joint Wahlburgers for the entire premiere party to chow down on.

Malone couldn’t walk the West Hollywood black carpet premiere due to a scheduling conflict with his Runaway Tour in Washington, D.C. To make up for his absence, Posty scheduled for the burgers to arrive at the same time that Mark did, and even made sure to send a special video note to vocally show his gratitude for the movie role recommendation (seen above). “Sorry I couldn’t be at the premiere tonight,” Malone said in the video according to Variety, following up by saying, “I love you so much, but I Postmated something very special to make up for it.”

Mark was equally as gracious for the gesture, telling Variety while at the premiere, “Posty and I have been friends for a long time and I know Posty is always going to Wahlburgers when he’s not in the studio.” He also added that director Peter Berg wasn’t 100% behind casting Malone in the role being that he had no prior experience and didn’t have time to audition. Ultimately Wahlberg rode for the homie, saying “not only did I convince Pete to hire him, I also convinced him to give [Malone] two parts and combine them.”

Read what Mark had to say about coaching post Malone in his first acting role, Variety:

“When we finally got to the set — we were actually at Posty’s trailer — Posty would not rehearse the scene and he wouldn’t do his real voice. He was making some crazy voice, so Pete was even more scared,” Wahlberg recalled. “You could tell Posty was a little nervous…but then we went in and on the first take he absolutely killed it.”

Post Malone is a pretty talented individual when it comes to the world of music. Of course, this is something we have seen through his hit singles and chart-topping albums. When you reach the same level of success as Post Malone, you become recognized on a global stage. When some of the biggest artists achieve superstardom in music, they look elsewhere to ease their desire for artistic expression. As it turns out, film is something Malone is interested in. Thanks to Mark Wahlberg’s new Netflix movie Spenser Confidential, Malone will get to see what movies are like, first hand.

Yes, that’s right, Malone will have a small role as a prison inmate in the film. The trailer for the film was released today and Malone is front and center. As you can see, he has quite a few interactions with Wahlberg and it appears as though he’ll get quite a bit of screen time. 

Fans of the Hollywood Is Bleeding artist will certainly be looking forward to this cameo. For now, Spenser Confidential is slated to come out on March 6th, 2020 through Netflix.

Let us know what you thought of the trailer and whether or not you plan on catching the film when it comes out later this year.
