Mark Wahlberg recently revealed his excitement about portraying an on-screen romance with Halle Berry in their upcoming Netflix action-comedy, "The Union." In an interview with Fox News Digital, the 53-year-old actor described the opportunity as "every guy's fantasy," given Berry's undeniable appeal and their long-standing friendship.

The film, set to premiere on August 16th, follows a New Jersey construction worker reunited with his high school sweetheart, who turns out to be a secret agent. Wahlberg emphasized his character's unwavering devotion to Berry's, highlighting the motivation behind his actions.

However, Wahlberg also admitted to the slight awkwardness of acting in a romantic relationship on-screen, especially considering his 15-year marriage to Rhea Durham. He reassured that his wife understands the nature of his profession and remains the "most special woman in the world" to him.

Recently, Wahlberg celebrated Durham's 46th birthday with their four children, sharing sweet photos on social media. Meanwhile, Berry has been dating musician Van Hunt since 2020, referring to him as the "love of her life."

"The Union" promises to be an exciting action-comedy with a touch of romance, leaving audiences eager to witness the on-screen chemistry between Wahlberg and Berry.
