Buff ‘n’ tough actors like Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson aren’t afraid of movie stunts—but they’re not afraid to let the professionals step in sometimes, either.

The Pain & Gain costars told E! News at the film’s press junket that they did a lot of their own action scenes in the film, but there were some doubles around for the extra intense stuff.

“I had a double for when I jumped off of the thing and getting hit by a car the second time,” Wahlberg, who was icing a hornet sting on his pinky finger (of all ailments!), told us. “They kinda ratcheted me up from the car, but I’m not afraid to use a double.”

Johnson added, “We both have great stunt doubles, but with a movie like this, the authenticity was important, so we were down to do our own stunts and it’s not a stunt-heavy movie to begin with, it’s more character-driven.”

“But when it required me to jump three, four stories off the building—bring in the stunt man.”

Wahlberg and Johnson also dished on whether or not they enjoyed the nightlife while shooting in Miami and if they’ve ever had to do the walk of shame (dun, dun, dunnn).

Mark Wahlberg — a Boston native — admitted that he was having a tough time doing his job on the New York red carpet Monday night.

Following Monday afternoon’s deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon, which left at least three dead and more than 175 injured, the “Pain and Gain” star got candid in an interview with CBSNews.com about trying to put on a good face at a movie premiere in the immediate aftermath of a tragedy in his hometown.

“None of this sh** is important,” Wahlberg said at the premiere. “We’re dealing with real life and innocent people getting hurt. It’s disgusting, man.”

He added, “It’s horrible, man. I’m trying to be a pro and be out here doing my job. This stuff doesn’t mean anything compared to what’s happening in the real world.”

At the time of our interview, Wahlberg still didn’t know if all of his friends and family members in Boston were OK.

“I spoke to my Mom. I really haven’t spoken to anybody else. We obviously don’t know what exactly happened….Our thoughts and our prayers go out to everybody…And that’s all we can do right now,” he said.

2013 MTV Movie Awards Celebrity Catfish Revealed as Mark Wahlberg

“Catfish: The TV Show” went one step farther than it’s ever gone this year at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards: to Hollywood. MTV’s Josh Horowitz led off a hilarious sketch that aired during the Movie Awards pre-show that introduced the world to the fact that Mark Wahlberg is apparently the ultimate Catfish.

The sketch started with Ariel and Nev Schulman learning that Horowitz had recently been corresponding with MTV Movie Awards host Rebel Wilson. When they turned up to her alleged house, however, Joe Manganiello and Anna Kendrick also showed up looking for their alleged soulmates. Unfortunately for the trio, Wahlberg was actually the man behind all of their online correspondences.

“I’m the Catfish f**king king, that doesn’t mean you show up to someone’s f**king house,” Wahlberg said, angered by the fact he had been called out on his antics. “Catfish makes me happy.”

The foursome ended up resolving their differences and hugged it out, but we’re not sure we’ll ever look at Wahlberg quite the same way again. Based on the way this clip ended, though, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be friendless for that much longer.
