Getty ImagesHolywood actor Mark Wahlberg has instructed 3 Scottish brothers their Pacific Ocean rowing file try must be made into a movie.
Wahlberg spoke to Edinburgh’s Ewan, Jamie and Lachlan Maclean in a video name, 54 days into their project.
The brothers are aiming to finish the quickest ever continuous and unsupported row from Peru to Sydney in Australia – a complete distance of 9,000 miles (14,484km).
Wahlberg was once made acutely aware of the file try by the use of a chum of his private assistant who had met Jamie when he performed bagpipes at a marriage they had been each attending.
The brothers, who’re seeking to elevate £1m for blank water tasks in Madagascar, are greater than 5,000 miles (8,047km) from their end line.
In the decision closing Thursday, Wahlberg instructed them: “This could be a movie.
“The absolute best movies I’ve executed are in line with true tales – odd folks doing bizarre issues.
“No way I’d row an ocean, but I’d play one of you guys in a movie.”
The actor shared tales from capturing 2000’s crisis drama The Perfect Storm with George Clooney.
Wahlberg, whose different movies come with Ted and Transformers, instructed the brothers: “What you guys are doing is next level.
“You’re dwelling out a way of function – combining hobby with affect. That’s uncommon, and it is humbling to look at.”
Lachlan, 27, said later he had wondered if he had imagined the conversation.
He said: “We’re all running in such little sleep that we idea all of it can have been a hallucination.”
Maclean brothersThe brothers’ 280kg boat was built to be one of the lightest and strongest ocean rowing boats ever made.
It is named Rose Emily in memory of their unborn sister, with her name hand-painted on the hull by their mother.
On board are 500kg of freeze-dried food, including 75kg of oats and a menu of high-calorie comfort meals prepared by Jamie.
Meals include beef chilli, Thai red curry, and haggis, neeps and tatties – with the hope of adding fresh fish caught at sea.
Ewan, 33, said the journey had been much tougher than expected – but they had been delighted by the call with the Hollywood star.
He said: “Today we had dolphins browsing close to the boat, and that lifted our spirits — after which we listen we get to talk to Mark Wahlberg, so spirits are completely in the course of the roof.
“We are such big fans, and speaking to him is like a dream come true for us. It’s so cool… but it’s bloody surreal.”
