Mark Wahlberg passed up the opportunity to star in one of the most iconic movies of all-time due to feeling 'creeped out' by its same-sex storyline.
Wahlberg, now 53, and best known for roles in The Departed and The Transformers franchise, could have starred in 2005 Ang Lee epic, Brokeback Mountain - which became one of the most successful LGBTQ+ films in history and netted three Oscars.
However Wahlberg confessed to feeling uncomfortable due to the 'graphic, descriptive' nature of the script - which tells the tale of two American cowboys turned gay lovers - with the roles ultimately played by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
In a 2007 interview Wahlberg said the film's first sex scene between the cowboys Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist left him convinced the film 'wasn't his deal',
He said: 'I met with Ang Lee in that movie, I read 15 pages of the script and got a little creeped out.
