Quintana Roo, Mexico - Cancun is normally the location of some serious Spring Break partying, but last Saturday it held a much more civilized celebration. Instead of boozed up college students it was two action movie legends doing the celebrating, with Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington promoting their combined efforts in a new film.

The blockbuster hard men will star in the new crime movie "2 Guns" and to mark a no doubt profitable union, the pair posed up with what they expect to make - money. The two actors laughed their way through the photo call that was held in Cancun last weekend.

Mark and Denzel sat on the back of a car stuffed with money pretending that the large stacks were real. Making sure to show off his buff physique, Mark wore a tight blue polo shirt that strained over his biceps - with blue jeans. Denzel was content to let the younger actor put on a "gun show," wearing a loose T-shirt and lighter blue jeans. Both men seemed hesitant to take off their sunglasses, no doubt keeping with their roles as would-be bank robbers and undercover agents.

Out this August, Denzel stars as Bobby Trench and Mark as Marcus 'Stig' Stigman, who, after having been set up by the mob, find themselves shooting and fighting their way to clearing their names.

The film is an adaption of the graphic novel of the same name by Steven Grant and is directed Baltasar Kormákur, who was behind thriller "Contraband," also starring Wahlberg. The 41-year-old has been busy also promoting a second film "Pain And Gain."

The actor has to play a body builder and besides having to bulk up his already muscular body, the star also had to endure spray tans - his least favorite part of filming.

"The weirdest and the most uncomfortable thing I've done for this movie was having to get a spray tan every week," stated Wahlberg. "I don't like the sun, it's not good for me, but (the film's director) Michael Bay insisted I be as tan as possible - so he'd make me get the spray tan.

"I'd do it on the balcony of my hotel room, which was on the 17th floor. You would think you'd be free from all the cameras and paparazzi, but there I was getting photographed in my underwear getting a spray tan. Not a good look."
