It seems like Mark Wahlberg has been filming The Fighter for almost a year already. Last June he was bloody and fit. Now I guess he’s filming scenes for when his character is at the twilight of his career because he’s fat and gasping for breath when he runs. I haven’t seen this dramatic of a change since Britney Spears discovered Starbucks.

Mark Wahlberg was rushed to a hospital Friday morning after breathing in too much smoke while filming The Fighter on Thursday night. A smoke machine being used for atmosphere was running while Mark “acted” and apparently he got a little overzealous with his inhaling. The director must have told him to act angry. He was released shortly thereafter and was back to work the same day.

“When he woke up Friday morning he was gasping for breath so he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was put on a breathing device that helped clear his lungs.”

It really took until Friday morning to feel the effects from Thursday night? Maybe Mark decided to wake-and-bake and took too big of a hit. That’s entirely possible. It’s also entirely possible that Mark Wahlberg is a big pussy. Take your pick.

Mark Wahlberg has one style of acting. He’s like the Will Ferrell of dramas. If you listen to his angry voice and happy voice, they’re basically the same thing with a minor fluctuation in tone. A computer analyzing the sound waves couldn’t even tell the difference. You could get more emotion out of a cardboard box. Plus, his voice is so monotone. Listening to him is like listening to a professor lecture about string theory.

Here’s Marky Mark on the set of The Fighter shirtless to take attention off of his wooden acting. Christian Bale is in this film too which could suck for Wahlberg. It’s like when I stand naked next to Brad Pitt. I almost feel embarrassed for the guy.

Here’s Christian Bale emaciated again on the set of The Fighter getting ready to play a drug addicted boxer. This is the second time he’s lost a massive amount of weight for a role. The first being The Machinist.

That can’t be good for him. His hair is thinning and he’s dressing like a homeless guy. The good news is that he’ll probably be awesome in the movie. Not like that Paris Hilton. Her idea of acting is to look at the camera, giggle and try to lick her nipples. Except she can’t even do that right because she keeps tipping over.
