Actor Nick Mundy Talks How The Rock Is In Real Life, Upsetting Mark Wahlberg, More

I recently spoke with actor and writer Nick Mundy, who co-wrote and starred in Comedy Central's new "Nothing To Report" web series with Chris Jericho. Mundy is a huge wrestling fan, and in addition to talking about "Nothing to Report," we discussed the current wrestling scene, Daniel Bryan's future, NXT and more so much sure to check back on Monday for the full interview.

Wrestling fans may remember Mundy for his hilarious interview with The Rock and Mark Wahlberg during the Pain & Gain press junket in 2013, which you can watch above. During the three days at the premiere of the film, Mundy did nothing but ask cast members about The Rock.

"I've never done a junket interview in my life, that was part of the appeal," Mundy said. "I've never interviewed anyone in my life. I'm a big Rock fan, but a movie Rock fan. He's a great wrestler, but I was always a Stone Cold and a Mick Foley guy. I thought he was the best heel. They sent me to Miami to interview the Rock. It was part bit, part real life, but I was a total spaz for three days. People are like 'what outlet are you with' and I'm like 'I'm just here to meet the Rock.' I was standing up and cheering during the movie while reviewers were just like 'uh huh, this movie is interesting, I don't know if it's that great.' Every time I interviewed a cast member they were like he's doing the worst interviews of my life. The head of Paramount said the same thing. Then I finally kind of smiled and broke character and she was like 'have you been doing a bit and acting like a weirdo all weekend? Well that's fun, you should have told us and we could have planned it better,' but that would have ruined the whole bit. I was invited back the next year, so nobody had a problem with it. No one knew. Everyone thought I was a giant weirdo except Ken Jeong. He figured it out."

As for Mark Wahlberg, Mundy noted that he wasn't playing along in the interview, and he really was upset.

"He [Wahlberg] really wanted to punch me," Mundy noted. "I apologized. I don't ever want to be one of those guys who makes someone look stupid. I want to make me look stupid. I'm just a fan, I love all these people. He wanted to punch me in the face. Pain & Gain was one of my favorite movies. The Rock didn't know it was a bit until he saw the video a couple of weeks later. He loved it, and now he invites me to all the junkets. "

Mundy has interviewed the Rock since the interview, and noted that the Rock even sent him a birthday message last week.

"I've seen him [Rock] interact with everyone and with me. He seems to try to care to an individual basis. He wants to make everyone feel important. I think that's his personality. He even tweeted me on my birthday Saturday. I don't even know how he found out about it. He's a genuinely good dude who works his ass off, and more people should try to be like him. He's just a really good guy that kind of took a liking to me for some reason. I know that's such a benign thing to say, but he's a great person. I never hear a bad thing about him."
