Mark Wahlberg was rushed to the hospital on Friday morning after suffering smoke
inhalation on the set of his new film "The Fighter".
"Mark was working on a scene [Thursday night] where a smoke machine was being
used for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much smoke," a source tells
RadarOnline.com.
"When he woke up Friday morning he was gasping for breath so he was taken to
Massachusetts General Hospital where he was put on a breathing device that helped
clear his lungs."
Like a real, errr, Fighter, Wahlberg was released and back at work the same day.
Wahlberg was back on set late on Friday, Aug. 14 during an overnight shoot near
Olympia Restaurant located at 453 Market St. featuring a slew of old-school cars
pre-1993.
As previously reported, crews filmed scenes last week at the Lowell Superior Court
located at 360 Gorham Street. Production followed co-star Christian Bale as Ward's
drug-addicted brother, Dickie Eklund, as he faces charges in criminal court and then
heads to lock up.
Bale was spotted in character, heading for lunch break at the Rogers School located at
43 Highland St., dressed in sweats and covered in blood. Wahlberg, back in town after
wedding model Rhea Durham in Los Angeles, was also on set.
On Thursday, Aug. 20, crews plan to film a date scene with Wahlberg and Amy Adams
between 4 p.m. and 4 a.m. at the Lexington Flick movie theater located at 1794 Mass.
