In 2013, TMZ obtained court documents from the deposition of a lawsuit Tom Cruise filed against Life & Style and InTouch for $50 million. Cruise compared shooting movies on location to fighting a war in Afghanistan, stating, "That's what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal."
When word got out of Cruise's remark, Mark Wahlberg took serious issue with it. Wahlberg, who played a Navy SEAL in "Lone Survivor," was able to understand what it was like for the real troops who served in Afghanistan and went off about Cruise's comment. "For actors to sit there and talk about 'Oh I went to SEAL training' and I slept on the — I don't give a f*** what you did. You don't do what these guys did. For somebody to sit there and say my job was as difficult as somebody in the military's. How f***ing dare you. While you sit in a makeup chair for two hours" (via The Wrap).
Wahlberg later claimed he wasn't pointing fingers at Cruise and wasn't aware that he had made that statement. "I love Tom Cruise ... I have nothing but the utmost respect for Tom Cruise. But I also have the utmost respect for military guys. It's just unfair for anybody to comment on that," he stated, per TMZ. Unfortunately for Cruise, another A-list actor didn't give him the same respect.
