It’s not “The Bourne Identity”, it’s a case of mistaken identity.

After two decades in Hollywood, one might assume Mark Wahlberg is easily recognizable, but he says he’s not. During the conversation, Wahlberg’s “The Departed” co-star Matt Damon was mentioned, since fans seem to think the two Boston boys are interchangeable. “[They say, ] ‘I loved you in Ted,’ or one of these other movies that I’ve done”. Last year, the We Bought A Zoo actor showed of a similar length ponytail which turned out to be for role in the upcoming film The Great Wall. “I just say we have another one coming out”. For who amongst us is strong enough to withstand the visceral allure of Matt Damon’s man bun?

Talking about his look previous year to Graham Norton, he said: ‘I did a movie in China and I was there for about five months with that thing, and then we did a press conference at the very end.

“I never correct anybody”, Wahlberg said.

“I have a whole new appreciation for my wife and daughters – it’s very hard to do”. “Watch me in ‘The Bourne Identity 4′”. Wahlberg returns to the big screen in the thriller “Deep Water Horizon”, alongside Kate Hudson, in September.

The Jason Bourne star attended a press conference in Beijing, China, on Tuesday, sporting his lengthy locks.

Lopez had asked Wahlberg which of his films fans mentioned the most, when they approached him. If Jimmy Kimmel ends up feuding with Wahlberg, too, then we’ll know he and Damon really are the same person.
