Mark Wahlberg has recently admitted that he did not behave very nicely with Leonardo DiCaprio at the MTV Rock and Jock basketball game past in the days, when the duo were apparently not too fond of one another.

The 43-year-old actor said that in his earlier years, when he was known as Marky Mark and was a popular rapper, he had a weird run-in with the 'Titanic' actor and he blocked a shot of his, ABC News reported.

For one audition in particular, Wahlberg only fueled the fire that made DiCaprio hate him even more, where he came eight hours late.

In fact, when it came time to audition people for the role of Mickey, opposite DiCaprio, the 'Wolf of Wall Street' star refused to work with Marky Mark, as did a lot of other people.

Wahlberg further mentioned that later he realised DiCaprio was "good" when they started reading lines together.
