They are rowing a world-record-breaking 9000 miles across the Pacific Ocean from Lima, Peru, to Sydney, Australi,a with no stops, no support crew, no engine, and no sail, all to raise money and awareness for clean water projects in Madagascar.
"I'm so inspired by you guys. You're badasses doing something no one else would even think of," said Wahlberg on the call. "This could be a movie. The best films I've done are based on true stories — ordinary people doing extraordinary things. No way I'd row an ocean, but I'd play one of you guys in a movie."
During the video call, Wahlberg remembered spending many days and nights at sea when he filmed The Perfect Storm with George Clooney in 2000.
"When I was preparing to do The Perfect Storm, I went out on a sword boat — in Ocean City, Maryland, a longliner, and we were actually fishing. We caught some pretty big tuna — 500, 600-pounder. I don't know how you guys are gonna wrestle that thing onto that boat, man. Oh my gosh," said Wahlberg, upon learning that the brothers had a tuna on their fishing line.
"I couldn't be more inspired by the grit, the determination, the resiliency. What you guys are doing for such an amazing cause, and how hard you're willing to sacrifice yourself and your own well-being for the good of others, is so inspiring. For you guys to do this under your own free will – it's pretty crazy."
The actor promised the brothers that they would at least get a hearty meal on him at the finish line, though he hopes to maybe be there to greet them.
The Maclean brothers are on a 28-foot carbon fiber boat called the Rose Emily, named in honor of their late sister. They row in two-hour shifts and have been living on freeze-dried meals and desalinated water. They expect the journey to take more than 100 days.
Lachlan added: "We're all operating on such little sleep that we thought it all could have been a hallucination."
This current trip is triple the distance.
