Mark Wahlberg was rushed to the hospital on Friday morning after suffering smoke inhalation on the set of his new film The Fighter, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

"Mark was working on a scene [Thursday night] where a smoke  machine was being used for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much  smoke," a source tells us.



"When he woke up Friday morning he was gasping for breath so he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was put on a breathing device that helped clear his lungs."

Like a real, er, Fighter, Wahlberg was released and back at work the same day.
