Mark Wahlberg 'treated for smoke inhalation'

Actor said to have been gasping for breath

Mark Wahlberg is co-starring in The Fighter with Christian Bale and Amy Adams

Mark Wahlberg was apparently rushed to a Massachusetts hospital on Friday morning.

The actor – who is shooting new film The Fighter - was reportedly treated for smoke inhalation.

‘Mark was working on a scene [Thursday night] where a smoke machine was being used for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much smoke,’ a source tells Radar Online.

‘When he woke up Friday morning he was gasping for breath so he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was put on a breathing device that helped clear his lungs.’

Mark, 38, was released the same day and immediately returned to work, says the insider.
