Jeremy Piven on Mark Wahlberg: 'There's Something Magical About Him'

Jeremy recently revealed that he thinks Mark Wahlberg is responsible for Entourage‘s success.

“Well, I am excited about the movie coming out, because I feel like… you have to understand, I was lucky enough to be a part of it for eight seasons, and then the movie,” Jeremy expressed (via Gothamist). “I never had a lot of luck in my career, and I think that particular project, for whatever reason, and I would not be able to tell you why, maybe it’s Mark Wahlberg… They should study Mark‘s DNA, there’s something magical about him. Maybe because he was involved we were so lucky from the jump, so, it’s a miracle when your show sees the light of day, much less has this type of success.”

FYI: Jeremy is wearing Big Star jeans.
