In a recent discussion with Andy Cohen<\/strong>, Boston Blue<\/strong> star Donnie Wahlberg<\/strong> revealed he was willing to forgo half his salary from the series to ensure it was shot in Boston rather than Toronto. That ultimately did not happen because of how expensive shooting in Boston was. But Wahlberg revealed that some parts of the series were indeed shot in Boston.<\/p>\n Donnie Wahlberg recently discussed his series, Boston Blue<\/span>, with Andy Cohen on the latter\u2019s Radio Andy<\/a>. During the discussion, Wahlberg revealed how he was very interested in getting the series shot in Boston. He wanted it to happen so badly that he offered to give back half his paycheck to cover the expenses. But shooting in Boston proved difficult, and Wahlberg\u2019s paycheck was not enough to cover the costs.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I got offered the show, oh yeah, well I got offered the job, I\u2019m like this is a dream come true cause I thought I\u2019ll do a spin-off in LA or Vegas or Texas, somewhere hot,\u201d Wahlberg told Cohen, \u201cAnd they were like, how about Boston? I was like, uh, it was like they hooked me and I was like, all right, let\u2019s do it in Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n But physically shooting in Boston was a difficult task, primarily because of the expenses. \u201cThey were like, but we can\u2019t afford to shoot it in Boston, we\u2019re going to shoot it in Toronto. And I was like, no, no,\u201d Wahlberg recalled. \u201cSo I said, listen, I\u2019ll give back 50% of my paycheck if we can go to Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n In response to this offer, Wahlberg got an unexpected response. \u201cI did, and they said, \u2018You can give back 100%, and so can the rest of the cast. We cannot film this show in Boston. It was just so expensive,’\u201d he said to Andy.<\/p>\n So, while some scenes were shot in Boston, Wahlberg\u2019s hometown, most of the series was shot in Toronto to curb costs.<\/p>\n Boston Blue is available for streaming<\/a> on Paramount+.<\/span><\/p>\n Originally reported by Sourav Chakraborty on ComingSoon<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Boston Blue Star Almost Gave up 50% of His Salary for This Reason<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a recent discussion with Andy Cohen, Boston Blue star Donnie Wahlberg revealed he was willing to forgo half his salary from the series to ensure it was shot in Boston rather than Toronto.
