Mark Wahlberg Brings Family to Hollywood Star Unveiling

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 30th 2010 07:55AM

Mark Wahlberg landed his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and brought his wife, model Rhea Durham, and four children with him to celebrate. Photos showed Wahlberg looking dapper and proud during the momentous occasion.

"I'm so happy my kids are sitting through this," Wahlberg said, according to the BBC. "When I heard I was getting this star, I felt like it was a practical joke." The 39-year-old actor's children, from left to right, are Ella Rae, Grace Margaret, Brendan Joseph and Michael.

"I'm the youngest of nine, so the more the merrier," the 'Boogie Nights' star said on 'Ellen' in January, speaking of his sizable brood.

Wahlberg made his big-screen debut in 1993. Before that, he was a rapper and went by Marky Mark. His biggest box office successes have been Tim Burton's 2001 'Planet of the Apes' remake and 2000's 'The Perfect Storm' -- both films raked in more than $180 million. He received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his turn in Martin Scorsese's 2006 hit 'The Departed,' which took home four trophies, including Best Director and Best Picture.

Wahlberg, who appeared at the MTV Movie Awards in June, stars in 'The Other Guys' with Will Ferrell, out August 6.

Marky Mark is Mark Walberg. From a kid who was a bratty punk to a decent man. Good on him. The guy grew up and deserves credit. Good on him.

From larger than life at Times Square,to a beautiful wife and four beautiful children dressed beautifully, with no press scandals to get hype -- It just proves, again, that real talent does not need press scandals to get attention.

Sorry you are not Gay, but, then, we still need the breeders to keep the species from dying out. Keep up the good work.

This was a nice surprise. I don't keep up with what is happening in L.A. or in the entertainment field that much. He deserves it, he is a wonderful actor. He has a very nice family. What I liked is that he said that he goes to church every day and thanks God for what he has? Wow, it takes a real man to admit to that. Way to go Mark.

By E32crew

The man's had a great career, and still continues to deliver!

By MsLaurasZoo

dont forget to his early years credit is a short live stint with the New Kids on the Block with his older brother Donnie. Mark uses his early youth experiences and projects them in his movies. He is a good actor and this was a great surprise to get the Star! Congrats Mark!

I can't believe this writer listed "Planet of the Apes" as one of two films that Wahlberg is best known for. In my mind that's rediculous. I"ve always thought that remake of "Planet of the Apes" was a flop. I would say "Fear" was probably his breakout role. Not to mention "Four brothers", "Basketball diaries", and of course "Italian Job". Anyone else suprised that they listed "Planet of the Apes" or is it just me?

By Amanda

Actually, the writer didn't list Planet of the Apes as one of the movies he is known best for. He said it was one of his best box office successes. In other words, it was one of his movies that has made the most money. That doesn't mean that it is one of the movies he is most known for. I sure as heck don't think of that movie when I hear his name. There is a difference between what you said and the writer said though, so don't twist his words around.

By Robin

Great actor, beautiful wife and family. Good job Mark!
