Pics/Santa Banta &quot;Leonardo was like, &#39;Over my dead f***ing body. Marky Mark&#39;s not going to be in this f***ing movie&#39;&quot; hollywoodreporter.com quoted Wahlberg as saying. &quot;We&#39;d had a thing - I didn&#39;t even realise it, (but) I was a bit of a d*** to him at a charity basketball game. So he was like, &#39;This f***ing a**hole is not going to be in this movie.&#39;&quot; he added. But casting director Avy Kaufman urged the &ldquo;Titanic&rdquo; star to change his mind and at least meet him. &quot;I come in and I do the audition and I kind of look at him and he kind of looks at me, and then we do a scene, and they&#39;re like, &#39;Hmm, this f***ing dude&#39;s pretty good, right?&#39; The next thing you know, boom, we&#39;re hanging out,&quot; Wahlberg said.u00a0
