Behind the scenes, Wahlberg added that Berry is "so funny" and "very approachable," which he admitted surprised him.
"I would say I think the thing people would appreciate most is that she’s very much who she appears to be," he said. "She can do anything, she’s done anything as a force of nature and talent, an actor, director, producer."
"But the person that you see, whether on social media or in interviews, she’s sweet, she’s funny, she’s feisty, but she is who she appears to be and very approachable, which I wouldn’t expect, because she’s stunning but sweet as they come. It’s amazing."
