Meanwhile, Wahlberg gave an impassioned speech on the last day of filming. CBS released a video in which Wahlberg admitted that he had a hard time accepting Blue blood would not come back in the future.
“Four years ago we were in this room and neither of us knew if we would ever see each other again, for much worse reasons. Perhaps one of the worst days of my life and I’m sure in many of your lives,” he shared. “We didn’t know what was going to happen in this world and somehow we got a few more years together and God willing we’ll have even more time together to do something magical again. I would be honored to work with any of you again and I pray that can happen one way or another. I’m not going to give up. Let’s have a great night together, we damn well deserve it.”
