Mark Wahlberg Addressed The Me Time Naked Scene Revealing Kevin Hart’s Playful Pranks
Mark Wahlberg, the renowned Hollywood actor, opened up about the famous naked scene in his film, Me Time and shed light on the naughty pranks played by his co-star.
In an interview on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Wahlberg recalled the moment when Hart tricked him into doing his first-ever n*de scene.
The artist revealed that he had initially agreed to star in Hart’s Netflix buddy comedy, Me Time, under the direction of John Hamburg.
However, the script underwent revisions, resulting in Wahlberg’s character unexpectedly being stripped down for the scene.
He humorously described the experience of filming the n*de scene in long beach. Wahlberg explained,
“He [Hart] came to me with [the movie] and John Hamberg and I said, Absolutely. But then, of course, they rewrote the part a little bit because, before my entrance, I had clothes on. Now I’m naked. They had me out there in Long Beach for 12 hours, a– -out.”
Wahlberg had playfully acknowledged that the Jumanji star had done him dirty with the prank but appreciated the comedic value of the scenes. He embraced the opportunity to be fearless as an actor and pushed his boundaries in the movie.
His candid remarks not only highlighted the connection between the two actors but also offered a captivating glimpse into the comedic brilliance of Me Time.

Me Time, directed and written by John Hamburg, paired Hollywood powerhouses Kevin Hart and Wahlberg in a chemistry-free friendship filled with funny comedy.
The filmmaker is known for his comedic work, as are the two actors, but the combination fell flat, resulting in a movie full of hot air.
The film, which made its debut on Netflix in 2022, opened with Sonny Fisher (Hart) and Huck Dembo (Wahlberg) celebrating the latter’s 29th birthday in Moab, Utah.
As expected, something wacky happened to Sonny, setting the tone for their friendship. Quick forward 15 years, and Sonny is now a househusband responsible for cooking, cleaning, and serving as the PTA president. Maya (Regina Hall), his wife, works as an architect and is the family’s breadwinner.
Further, Huck is still having birthday gatherings, even as he turns 44, and continues to hang out with people in their 20s. Sonny, being a family man now, initially refuses to attend. However, those around him recognize that he needs a break, as he lacks a life outside his family.
Me Time is one of those coming-of-age stories for middle-aged men. Whether you’re a fan of Wahlberg or Hart, or simply in need of a good laugh, this Netflix comedy is a must-watch.
