Mark Wahlberg Says He Wants to Play Bill Belichick, Floats Double Date With Coach

The comments signal enthusiasm, not a film in progress.

Overview

  • In a TMZ Sports interview in New York, Wahlberg said he is eager to portray Belichick and called him the greatest coach of all time.
  • He added he would be open to a double date with Belichick and Jordon Hudson alongside his wife, Rhea Durham.
  • Coverage noted there is no indication that a Belichick biopic is currently in development.
  • Wahlberg said "of course" when asked if he welcomed Cardi B potentially appearing on the Patriots sidelines.
  • Reports contextualized Wahlberg’s interest with his football role in 2006’s Invincible and pointed out Belichick remains an active college head coach, suggesting any biopic would likely be far off.
