Mark Wahlberg on the importance of films doing well

Mark Wahlberg has admitted he felt the pressure for his latest film, 2 Guns, to do well at the box office.

The 42-year-old said: "Your name's above the title so if the movie isn't a success it's going to be a little bit of a blow to your career."

The actor also talked about how getting Denzel Washington as the co-star in the comedy was a "special feat".

He adds that having "down to earth" Washington work on 2 Guns helped make it a more character based film which didn't have to rely on special effects.
