Mark Wahlberg Gets A Star on the Walk of Fame, Brings the Whole Fam2010-08-01
29 of July was a huge day for Mark Wahlberg and his adorable family: He got his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actor was accompanied by wife Rhea Durham and children Ella, 7, Michael, 4, Brendan, 1, and 6-month-old Grace for the unveiling, and everyone was on their best behavior.
Speaking at the ceremony in Los Angeles, he said: “I'm so happy my kids are sitting through this. When I heard I was getting this star, I felt like it was a practical joke.”
Mark’s The Other Guys co-star Will Ferrell hosted the ceremony for the 39-year-old former model-and-singer. Will joked: "I first became a fan of Mark's when I bought his workout video.”
Mark credited his success in Hollywood to rediscovering his Catholic faith. He said: “I was raised around the Church, but then I strayed off and started hanging out with guys in the neighborhood. When I got into trouble, I turned to God. Once I started to refocus my faith, really good things started happening for me. And even when bad things happened, it was a lot easier to deal with. It's become the most important part of my life.”
