After years of stand-offish silence, Oscar-nominated actor Mark Wahlberg is finally ready to talk about his previous life as underwear-exposing white rapper Marky Mark. Says the Marky one:
Of course I can talk about it now. The reason why I used to mind, why it bothered me, was because I knew it was going to be the thing that I had to overcome to be respected as an actor. ... But now that I feel I’ve dealt with that I don’t mind the past. ... It’s all part of who I am and it was fun. There were some embarrassing moments - like taking my clothes off. But I did it and I just hope I don’t have to explain it to my daughter in ten years time! Because that is going to be hard!
Come on Marky - embarrassed about taking your clothes off? Why? With that bod? You should be proud of yourself. Hell, you should have those Calvin Klein ads blown up and then wallpaper your house with them. Dang - that's not a bad idea. Marky Mark underwear wallpaper. Where do I get me some?
And oh, just for old time's sake:
Marky Mark - he brought the nation together. To piss its pants laughing.
