In conversation with People Magazine, the actor shared that he didn’t engage with the team members off camera and would stay alone in a corner, trapped in thoughts of his own to completely indulge himself in the character.
Wahlberg said, "I was locked into the part the whole time. So if we weren't shooting, I was like either off in the corner by myself or I just would kind of go back to my little dressing room and just sit there.”
The Shooter star further added, "I was like the guy who was like constantly picking at them, poking them, and prodding them, you know, from the back of the plane the whole entire time.”
