MARK WAHLBERG - WAHLBERG GUNS DOWN INTERN ON TV SHOW

MARK WAHLBERG brought the pain when he agreed to show off his shooting skills on a Canadian TV show - and left an intern in agony. THE ITALIAN JOB star was promoting new movie SHOOTER, in which he plays a sniper, when TV hosts challenged his marksmanship - and turned a lowly crewmember into a moving target. Wahlberg says, "They said, `You can't really shoot and they gave me a paintball gun and they put this poor intern, like, 30 feet away from me with very flimsy padding, and they were like, `OK, you can shoot him anywhere you want.' "I shot him in the chin, the paint went right through the mask. This poor kid was lit up like a Christmas tree." Sharp-shooting Wahlberg actually trained with real-life snipers as part of his preparation for the film.
