Mark Wahlberg thinks quite highly of himself, to put it lightly. He’s one of today’s biggest earning action stars, and The Fighter actor seems to think that his quick moves and choreographed fighting scenes holds weight in the real world.

In an interview with Men’s Journal , actor and on screen bad ass Mark Wahlberg talked in length about 9/11 and the heroism he could have achieved if given the chance. Recalling that if he didn’t take a flight to Toronto a week before the attacks he would have been on the plane from Boston that hit the towers.

“If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” Mark Wahlberg tells the magazine. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.”

This isn’t the only time Wahlberg has brought up the alternate reality that could have been had he boarded that Boston flight.

“We certainly would have tried to do something to fight,” he said in 2006. “I’ve had probably over 50 dreams about it.”

So on a scale from 1-10 how insensitive do you think his comments are?
