"Ted 2" directed by Seth MacFarlane has Mark Wahlberg reprising his role as John Bennett and the actor thinks it would be tough for the movie to outdo the success of the prequel.
"I think is going to be a lot better than the first one and that isn't an easy thing to do. The first one was such a leap of faith, because when I was pitched the idea it sounded so ridiculous: a guy and a talking teddy bear, but the bear's cool, he smokes pot and he has a potty mouth," he said.
"30 pages in, wow - you forget it's a bear, it's just one of the great buddy movies of all-time. Then everybody I pitched the idea to, was like, 'That's the most ridiculous thing ever'. And I am like, 'No, but it's really funny!'," Wahlberg said.
