Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg Shine at 'The Union' Premiere

Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg graced the red carpet for the premiere of their new Netflix film, "The Union," which debuts on Friday. The film follows Roxanne, played by Berry, as she returns to New Jersey to reconnect with Mike, her high school boyfriend portrayed by Wahlberg, after 25 years apart. Despite Mike's lack of spy experience, Roxanne believes his physical fitness and fearlessness make him the perfect candidate to help recover a stolen drive before it reaches the black market. Wahlberg expressed his excitement about the project, noting its relatability and the positive response they received during the pitching process. He highlighted the collaborative spirit of the film, emphasizing their gratitude for the opportunity to work on a project they are passionate about. The film features a significant amount of hand-to-hand combat, a genre Wahlberg is familiar with from his previous roles. In a light-hearted moment, Wahlberg shared that Berry, who had to train to adopt a New Jersey accent, surprised him during their fight scenes. He recounted an incident where she landed a body shot that caught him off guard, stating, “She taught me not to leave my guard down.” This candid admission reflects the camaraderie and mutual respect between the two actors as they navigate the challenges of their roles in "The Union."
