Movie star MARK WAHLBERG has developed an unlikely friendship with
his THE DEPARTED director MARTIN SCORSESE because they share a passion
for gangster movies and mobster fashion.

The odd couple is working on a new TV series, Boardwalk Empire, set
in the 1920s, and Wahlberg reveals his pal knows everything there is to
know about gangster culture - and he's very impressed with his
"encyclopaedic knowledge".

He says, "Every time you talk to the guy it's like a history lesson. I
mean he's talking about movies that were made in the 1930s. He knows
what year they were made based on how the hairstyles are.

"Even if they're supposed to take place in, like, 1830, he's like, 'Oh,
they shot that in 1932 because they have such-and-such a haircut'."
