Now that they’re older, Mark Wahlberg connects his films with his children through his films.
The actor (54) was joined by his family (22, Michael, Michael, 19, Brendan, 17), 15, Durham, 47, 15, Grace, Grace, Grace, 15, Grace, and his family at the red carpet premiere, held at the SVA Theatre on Wednesday, September 24th at the SVA Theatre.
“We saw this film together. We were in Paris. We were all wandering around in Paris,” he told people only. “I’m doing Family Planning 2 and they love this movie. So now they love watching Dad make a vow, kick his ass and see everything he couldn’t see when they were kids.
For a red carpet outing, Wahlberg wore the necks of the charcoal crew and khaki pants. Durham wore a black floor length strapless gown paired with a double necklace.
Ella wore a magenta floor-length silk gown, while her sister Grace opted for a black knee-length dress and white sneakers. Brendan was kept casual in a gray Henry shirt and dark-washed denim, while his brother Michael wore navy pants, a pale blue shirt, a brown belt and dress shoes.
“I’m very excited about all the kids (here) and my daughter isn’t in school so it’s like everyone is doing their own thing at this age,” Wahlberg added. “I just really want to spend time with them, so it’s great that we all came together, even if it’s for the night.”
The actor detailed a long time on set in Australia. “You know, it was a difficult shoot far from home and filmed in Australia. It was so far away and my family is missing,” Wahlberg added.
“I think that’s the biggest sacrifice, but for me, the action stuff is easy,” he continued. “I’m like I did it all. I’m not worried about doing my own stunts. I’m even more worried about bringing this character to life.”
The actors have appeared on the other side, including Lakes Stanfield, Rosa Salazar, Tony Shallowve and Keegan Michael Key. The crime drama continues with “a ruthless thief and his professional crew stumble upon a lifelong robbery.”
The film is based on a novel from the Parker series by Donald E. Westlake.
