Call it clash of the titans. In addition to presenting a pair of action heros in sundry action poses, current box-office champ 2 Guns also offers a teaming up of sartorial icons: Denzel Washington’s splendidly worn hats and Mark Wahlberg’s ever-tightening shirts. Denzel has proven he can pull off any head covering, whether a straight ball cap, bandana, military hat or—and especially—any variant of the classic fedora. Mr. Wahlberg? His repertoire may not be as wide-ranging—gray, white and black prove most popular—but still as prominent when he dons his shirts. The pairing of these two signature accessories—we’re pleased to see both making an appearance on the movie’s poster—had us looking back at their storied histories. . TriStar Denzel: A Man in Uniform Denzel has tackled a few military roles, like Courage Under Fire, but it was Glory in 1989 that showed us Washington knew how to tip a hat for prime effect. He took the Union army’s cap to new styles—even besting Morgan Freeman, we might add. . Paramount Wahlberg: Brawn Power Easily making our earlier list of Top 10 Movie Biceps, Wahlberg has shown off his chiseled bod in a variety of ways. In The Italian Job he let his mind impress, all while wearing tight black and brown t-shirts. . TriStar Denzel: Playing the Angles Washington showed off a bowler-fedora that he played in a variety of ways in Devil in a Blue Dress. He plays the hat high on his forehead, tipping it for added emphasis. . Warner Bros. Wahlberg: Office Wear Mark went for a (tight-fitting) dress shirt—and suspendera—in The Departed. That’s showing your reach. . Buena Vista Denzel: The Classic Look In 1996′s The Preacher’s Wife, Denzel wore his high-topped hat straight and level, letting the brim do all the work. . Paramount Wahlberg: Muscle Memories The rage in fashion these days, Wahlberg wore a tank top before it was cool, in the 2007 movie Shooter. Nothing quite shows off all the biceps, triceps and even lats as well as a snug tank top . Warner Bros.![]()
