Actor-producer Mark Wahlberg lost USD 45,000 on a single bet as he was preparing himself to play a role in his upcoming movie 'The Gambler'.
The 43-year-old star will be playing the role of a gambling drug addict and as a part of his movie research he was in a casino in Macau, China, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I hit blackjack three times. Needless to say, I won a lot of money. And like my character in the movie, I took every chip off the table and walked right over to the roulette wheel, put it all on black... And lost everything," Wahlberg said.
'The Gambler' is directed by Rupert Wyatt and is a remake of the same 1974 movie which was written by James Toback and starred James Caa.
The movie is set to be released on December 25.
