Exclusive report of Yahoo News about Mark Wahlberg and Leonardo DiCaprio Feud, the "Titanic" actor tried his best to stop director Scott Kalvert from casting Wahlberg in "The Basketball Diaries.

According to https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/11/mark-wahlberg-leonardo-dicaprio_n_6141330.html">"Ted" actor, “Leonardo said, ‘No way, I’m not making a movie with Marky Mark.’ As did a lot of other people.” He revealed this story during Monday night premiere of "The Gambler."

Although Leo didn't like Mark, Huffington Post reported that Marky Mark continued to audition and it became more and more entertaining. Eventually, DiCaprio was convinced that Wahlberg fitted to the film.

"Of course I show up eight hours late, by accident. I was in New York and there was a huge snowstorm, so I went to Puerto Rico for the weekend with my entourage. Coming home, my flight gets canceled, I show up late, he’s sitting there, pissed." Wahlberg said.

"The Wolf Of Wallstreet" actor thought that Wahlberg wasn’t enough of an actor for "Basketball Diaries," while Mark Wahlberg was skeptical that DiCaprio is best to play the the tough-guy protagonist.

Mark continued his story, "He wasn’t a New York street guy basketball player. I was like, 'I’ve seen this dude play ball!' So we both had a bit of chip on our shoulder. But we started reading the scenes -- and I looked at him and he looked at me -- and I was like, 'Oh shit. This guy is good.'"

Then, they gave Wahlberg the part.

"The Gambler" actor also revealed that his co-star was the one who got him a role in the 1996 thriller "Fear," which really put him on the map. "The Wolf Of Wallstreet" actor met with director James Foley for the role but felt it wasn't for him. DiCaprio told Foley to hire him but he introduced him as "Marky Mark." But Foley said, "What?! Are you out of your fucking mind?"
But his co-star said "You should hire this guy."
