Wahlberg Thrilled About Jeter Shooting Scene

Die-hard Boston Red Sox fan Wahlberg's character is a New York cop who accidentally shoots Yankees baseball star Derek Jeter - and he admits he secretly relished the plotline, but couldn't show it.

Wahlberg says, "It was a lot of fun. It was probably one of the most difficult acting scenes, to be upset about the fact that I had to shoot Derek Jeter... My character shoots him in the leg."

But the movie star knows the scene will make him a hero in his native Boston: "We're actually screening the movie August 3rd for my youth foundation in Boston, and the Boston audience are gonna see this scene and go nuts."
