Be an Extra in a Movie

“‘Daddy’s Home 2’ was my second film with Mark Wahlberg, which was awesome because I love his films! I was picked to be an extra as a bowler. The whole process, from just checking in to wardrobe and hair and makeup, makes you feel like a star! In holding they had large breakfast buffets with everything you could imagine. There was like 12-15 different juices, and they even had a station where a cook can make you an omelet right in front of you. As I got into the bowling alley they had us put on the bowling shoes and head down to the lanes. I was beyond excited because I knew I would be next to the actors. When you first get on set you have no idea which actors are going to be there for the scene, they don’t tell you that info, it’s super secret. Next, the actors come out. It was the main cast, including Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, John Lithgow, Mel Gibson, Owen Vaccaro, Didi Costine, and Alessandra Ambrosio. I think by the end of the night I was on set for a total of 16 to 18 hours. Being on set for that long is exhausting and it makes you feel like a star, but that it’s a lot of hard work too and long days. I first went to see it in theaters with my boyfriend and then took my whole family. We were all laughing because I was in the entire bowling scene front and center. I couldn’t believe it. It was so cool to see myself on the big screen.”
