Mark Wahlberg Flexed in Patek Philippe’s Buzziest New Watch

It’s 2:30 in the morning. You’re probably asleep (or doom scrolling) which is a fairly normal thing to be doing at 2:30 in the morning. But not when you’re Mark Wahlberg, because Mark Wahlberg is built different. A stringent follower of a viral daily routine that involves waking up in the middle of the night, praying, cryo chambers, golf, lifting, praying, and being in bed by 7:30PM, Wahlberg has amassed fame, fortune, biceps the size of large organic hams and, somewhere along the way, one of the great celebrity watch collections. If you’ve spent any time browsing through Wahlberg’s Instagram, you’ll notice that plenty of those inspirational witching hour workout videos are accompanied by something just as aspirational on his wrist. Has he become the biggest, strongest, and earliest riser in Hollywood just to show off his watch rotation? Who are we to say… Axelle/Bauer-Griffin The latest in a long list of ultra-rare watch flexes, Wahlberg has recently been spotted walking the red carpet in Patek Philippe’s brand new World Time 5330G-001 (no doubt he’s …

Mark Wahlberg’s teen sons tower over him in rare family pic in Hawaii

Mark Wahlberg recently shared a glimpse of family bliss during their idyllic Hawaiian vacation, encapsulating the joy of togetherness in a rare snapshot with his wife, Rhea Durham, and their two teenage sons.  The picture, adorned with tropical emojis by Rhea, who affectionately captioned it “My boys,” showcases the close-knit family under Hawaii’s lush greenery. The 52-year-old actor couldn’t help but express his amazement at his sons’ growth, humorously noting in his own share of the photo, “What a time. Nothing like it. Except for those two boys being taller than me already.”  The family photo includes Michael, 18, who just celebrated a milestone birthday, and Brendan, 15, both standing tall beside their parents. © InstagramMark Wahlberg with his towering sons Mark’s heartfelt tribute to Michael on his 18th birthday last month—”Happy 18th b-day buddy can’t believe how fast you’ve grown up so proud of the young man you are”—echoes through his posts, reflecting his deep pride and joy in his children’s development. Mark and Rhea, who have been a formidable team since their marriage …

David Beckham is suing Mark Wahlberg: where did it all go wrong?

David Beckham is suing Mark Wahlberg: where did it all go wrong?

However the two apparently patched things up, and Wahlberg later shared that he wanted to make sure there was no animosity between him and Beckham. “He wanted me to email him about something – I don’t know if it was a film. I had said something, half joking, because his house is at the bottom of our hill and a lot of people hang around the area. So I said something like, ‘I don’t like him being here because of that,’” Wahlberg later told The Sun. “I met him and some of his sons and he seems like a nice guy … I wanted to make sure he hadn’t taken that [remark] personally.” Source link

Mark Wahlberg Was ‘Pissed’ While Filming The Departed With Scorsese

Mark Wahlberg Was ‘Pissed’ While Filming The Departed With Scorsese

Mark Wahlberg has admitted he wasn’t entirely happy while filming Martin Scorsese‘s 2006 film The Departed. Wahlberg played Sergeant Dignam, who worked in the Special Investigation Unit of the Massachusetts State Police Department, in the Boston-set film, which also starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin and Vera Farmiga, among others. “I was a little pissed about a couple things but look, it all worked out in the end, I think,” Wahlberg said on the March 14 episode of Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. “Originally I was supposed to play another part. Originally, I was supposed to get paid,” he said, without elaborating. “And then even when we kind of agreed that I would play Dignam and I saw the advantages of playing that part and how I would approach the situation with everybody else playing opposite me, I then had another movie after.” He said he had just finished filming Four Brothers and was about to start shooting Invincible.  “I was trying to grow my hair out, which is …

Box Office: ‘Kung Fu Panda 4’ and ‘Dune: Part Two’ Leading Weekend

Kung Fu Panda 4 and Dune: Part Two are still going strong at the box office, with both movies celebrating milestones this weekend.

Focus on Doing Films the “Whole Entire Family Can See”

Focus on Doing Films the “Whole Entire Family Can See”

Mark Wahlberg is all about making family-friendly movies at the moment. The veteran actor recently opened up to Yahoo Entertainment about the types of projects he looks for as he embraces getting older, similar to some of his latest roles in The Family Plan, Uncharted and Arthur the King. “You know, I do enjoy doing things that the whole entire family can see,” Wahlberg said. “Look, I’m 52 years old now. I’m a dad of four. I’ve got a kid in college. I like playing age-appropriate roles. I think a lot of people don’t embrace that and audiences are like — this doesn’t seem real.” The Ted actor shares four children with his wife, Rhea Durham. Having been in the industry for decades following his breakout role in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 movie Boogie Nights, Wahlberg said he now feels audiences want to see “the guy and the gal being in the same age bracket.” “There’s many different things that I think audiences frown upon and I want to do things that are believable and realistic,” …

On Super Bowl broadcast, ‘He Gets Us’ ads featuring Jesus stand out for change-of-pace message

On Super Bowl broadcast, ‘He Gets Us’ ads featuring Jesus stand out for change-of-pace message

For the second year in a row, a religious Super Bowl ad campaign promised viewers that Jesus “gets us.” Two commercials shown Sunday night centered Jesus’ message to love your neighbors — even across ideological divides. In one, people of different races, classes and gender expressions have their feet washed, including a woman outside a family planning clinic. “Our goal is to really show that Jesus loved and cared for anyone and everyone,” He Gets Us campaign spokesperson Greg Miller told The Associated Press on Monday. He said the campaign’s website received 715,000 views in the previous 24 hours. On social media, the ads drew criticism across ideological spectrum. Some conservatives contended they were overly “woke.” Other critics noted that the campaign’s welcoming and progressive messages seem at odds with some of its Christian funders, who have also supported anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-abortion causes. Last year’s ads were overseen by the Servant Foundation, also a donor to Alliance Defending Freedom, a prominent conservative legal organization that helped overturn Roe v. Wade — the ruling establishing a …

Why Mark Wahlberg earns USm more than any woman in Hollywood

Why Mark Wahlberg earns US$42m more than any woman in Hollywood

Why should we care that, in Hollywood, female actors earn less than male ones? The latest tally of star pay, compiled by Forbes magazine, has men far outstripping women’s earnings. The highest paid woman – Emma Stone – makes her appearance at number 15, earning US$42m (£33m) less than the highest paid man, Mark Wahlberg. It’s easy to be dazzled or disgusted by the huge numbers on the Forbes list and click onto another story about Hollywood stars, without realising the implications of the pay disparity on display. “Men earn more at work than women” has been the most familiar story across industrialised economies for generations. But the Forbes list is significant because one of the principal reasons for the worldwide gender pay gap is occupational segregation: women and men are still largely concentrated in different jobs or at different levels of the same job. For example, official UK statistics showthat women are concentrated in a smaller, lower-paid range of jobs than men, particularly the five “Cs” – caring, catering, cashiering, cleaning and clerical work. …
