Mark Wahlberg & Family Glam Up NYC Red Carpet for 'Play Dirty' Premiere
MARK WAHLBERG'S FAMILY NIGHT OUT: ACTOR BRINGS HIS ENTIRE BROTHERHOOD TO THE RED CARPET!
In a rare and highly anticipated red carpet appearance, Mark Wahlberg, 54, made headlines as he stepped out with his entire family in tow at the world premiere of his new movie Play Dirty. The A-list actor was joined by his stunning wife, Rhea Durham, 47, and their four rambunctious kids - Ella, 22, Michael, 18, Brendan, 17, and Grace, 15 - as they took over the SVA Theater in New York City.
The proud parents beamed with joy as they posed for photos alongside their mini-me's, looking every bit the happy family. Mark, who showed off his chiseled physique earlier this year, gushed about how his kids have finally come around to appreciating his line of work. "We saw this movie together in Paris," he told TheScholarlyNote.com on the red carpet. "They were hanging out with me, and I was doing Family Plan 2. Now they love seeing dad swear and kick a** - all the things they couldn't see when they were kids! And I think they enjoy those more."
Wahlberg's enthusiasm for his family's newfound appreciation for his acting career is understandable, considering he's spent years juggling his high-octane film schedule with fatherhood. However, it seems like his hard work has finally paid off - or rather, it's been a long time coming! "My daughter's been away at school," Mark confessed. "Everybody's kind of doing their own thing at this age. I really want to just spend time with them." It's clear that the actor is relishing this rare opportunity to bond with his family.
As for the kids, they looked like a million bucks in their respective outfits. Ella, the eldest daughter, stunned in a magenta floor-length silk gown, while her younger sister Grace opted for a chic black dress and white sneakers. Meanwhile, Brendan wore a grey henley shirt and dark jeans paired with white converse sneakers, and Michael donned a pale blue button-up shirt, navy pants, and brown dress shoes.
Rhea Durham turned heads in a show-stopping strapless black gown paired with open-toe gold heels, proving that she's still the epitome of style after all these years. The couple has been married since 2009, making their union one of the longest-lasting ones in Hollywood.
But what about Mark's latest film? Play Dirty, directed by Shane Black and starring Wahlberg alongside Keegan-Michael Key, Rosa Salazar, Tony Shalhoub, Nat Wolff, and Thomas Jane, follows a group of misfits who stumble upon a major score and find themselves at odds with the New York mob. According to Mark, filming in Australia was no easy feat - "It's a difficult shoot a long time away from home," he admitted to TheScholarlyNote.com. "We shot in Australia, it's very far away, missing family." However, his wife and kids did manage to visit him on set, making the experience slightly more bearable.
Rhea Durham took to Instagram to give her followers a sneak peek into the premiere, posting photos from inside the theater and even sharing an image of colorful tote bags with Play Dirty graphics. It's clear that this movie is going to be a must-see for fans of the action-packed genre!
Play Dirty will debut on Prime Video on October 1st, so mark your calendars, folks! In the meantime, we're eagerly awaiting more behind-the-scenes peeks at Wahlberg's new film - and maybe even some more adorable family moments from this Hollywood power couple.
