Nelly Furtado met her childhood hero, but the dream turned into a nightmare! During her appearance on the Handsome Podcast, the Eat Your Man singer shared the embarrassing story of her first meeting with her childhood crush Mark Wahlberg.

“When I was 13 or 14, I had a poster of Mark Wahlberg’s Calvin Klein ad. I had Marky Mark when it was all about Calvin,” she said, laughing. “He was my first celebrity crush,” she said.

After launching her music career and earning a Grammy for her debut album Whoa, Nelly! He was asked to make a cameo in the film adaptation of the video game franchise Max Payne and had the opportunity to meet the actor.

Talking about the scene she filmed, Neely revealed that her character had to be angry at the Ted actor’s character because he was responsible for her husband’s death. She recalled, “I’m in the scene, we’re in a fantasy situation, there are a lot of extras, a lot of people, I’ve hardly acted before and I’m feeling the pressure.”

Making the scene even more relatable, Nelly revealed that Wahlberg had to come into the frame, and she had to slap him across the face. At that point in her career, the Say It Right singer had played small roles in films and TV shows, but they were always related to singing. Therefore, she was not aware of what to do and what not to do in acting.

She said, “Because I’m a newbie – I’m a singer, I’m not an actor – I really thought I could slap her across the face a few times to practice.” So when the director shouted action, he slapped the actor multiple times with full force on his face.

“Wow, wow! And his face is turning red,” she said, recalling that Wahlberg was so nice that he didn’t interrupt her or tell her not to slap him. Nelly said, “So I’m over there just slapping Mark Wahlberg. Meanwhile, my 14-year-old is like ‘Oh my God!’ As it is.” She recalled that she “barely” got through the scene but somehow managed it.
