California - Bringing his own blue collar upbringing to his role as famous Boston-based boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward, actor Mark Wahlberg struts around the film set on July 13, 2009. Stepping out of the makeup trailer with some artificial boxing injuries, Wahlberg was dressed in an outfit indicative of the film’s early 1980’s theme. Later, he walked out in costume in a smart vest, reminiscent of his early days as Marky Mark.

Wahlberg once told the press that he's a huge fan of the Philippine boxer. To show his overwhelming support, Wahlberg attended Pacquiao's fights and trainings, and what a coincidence that Wahlberg now plays the role of a boxer.
