Mark Wahlberg Makes Rare Red Carpet Outing With Wife and Four Kids at 'Play Dirty' NYC Premiere

He says he is prioritizing balance between work and fatherhood after a long Australia shoot away from home.

Overview

  • Wahlberg was joined by Rhea Durham and their children Ella, Michael, Brendan and Grace on Sept. 24 at the SVA Theater in New York in a comparatively rare full-family carpet appearance.
  • He told People his kids now enjoy watching his action roles and can finally see him "swearing, kicking ass" now that they are older.
  • Wahlberg confirmed the film was shot in Australia and said his wife and children visited him during the lengthy overseas production.
  • He told Us Weekly he is focused on balancing creative work with parenting and that much of what he does now is for his children's future.
  • He said he will not encourage a son to pursue acting unless he is serious about it, and Play Dirty is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video on Oct. 1.
