Similar to Matt's recent family outing, Mark Wahlberg made headlines last year when he brought his entire family to a film premiere in New York.

As previously reported, Mark brought his wife, Rhea Durham, and their four children to the red carpet premiere of his new action thriller "Play Dirty" in New York City on September 25, 2025. The family turned heads and sparked a flurry of emotional and, at times, brutally honest fan reactions.

Mark Opens Up About Work and Family Dynamics

Mark gave a brief but revealing interview on the red carpet, noting that it had been a while since all of his children were together in the same place. "I'm so excited that all of my kids [are here], because my daughter's been away at school, everybody's kind of doing their own thing at this age," he gushed.

The actor also described the demanding nature of filming in Australia, pointing out the long hours and the challenge of being far from home. During the shoot, however, Rhea Durham and their four children joined him on location, which made the experience more meaningful.

"I think that's the biggest sacrifice, but you know, for me, the action stuff is easy. I've kind of, I've done it all. I'm not worried about doing my own stunts. I'm more worried about bringing this character to life," said Mark.

When asked if his kids were aware of his long-running Hollywood career, the movie star admitted, "Yeah, they think it's all pretty silly."
