At 21 he was THE face of a Calvin Klein panties ad campaign and modeled alongside Kate Moss – today he’s 51 and still a hottie with washboard abs, bulging muscles and a charming smile.
Mark Wahlberg (51) is not only an acting sex symbol, but also a loving father and husband. For over 21 years the former rapper, who called himself Marky Mark, married the American model Rhea Durham (44). The couple have four children together.
And Mark cannot deny that they are HIS children. Look here!
His long mane didn’t grow overnight, but dates from the time he was shooting his film “Rock Star” (2001). Why did Wahlberg post the photo again now? Because he looks incredibly like his daughter Grace – even though she wasn’t even born at the time.
The “Throwback” story is well received by his more than 20 million followers. Mark’s wife Rhea and some of his fellow actors also commented on the juxtaposition with heart and flame emojis.
The long hair look was for the role of Chris “Izzy” Cole in the movie “Rock Star” – now Mark goes back to the hairdresser regularly
On his social media accounts, Wahlberg regularly shares pictures of his sons and daughters, who range in age from 12 to 19.
In a 2020 interview with People, Wahlberg said what he teaches his children: the “essentials of becoming a good person.” He explained: “I want to give them all the things I never had. But they should also learn that you only get what you want if you work hard for it.”
By the way, Wahlberg doesn’t see the whole Hollywood circus as a particularly good environment for children. The family recently relocated from Los Angeles to rural Nevada. The 51-year-old justifies this step by saying that he wants to enable his children to follow their dreams.
