Mark Wahlberg

I just wanted to bring this over from Dumb Celebrity quotes, courtesy of Shalamar

Just to calm myself down, I'm picturing Marky Mark saying that offensive garbage in an Eric Cartman voice. "I would never let a terrorist kick MY ass. If he tried, I'd be all like 'Hey! Fellah! You get your b*tch a$$ into the galley and make me a pah!'".

Ha!

I remember looking at some coffee table style book about Marky Mark in 1992 or 1993. The dedication read, "I wanna dedicate this book to my dick." That has always stuck with me.

Why, why would he even mention this? Especially now 10 yrs after the attack. It seems such a stupid thing to talk about in an interview.

I routinely read interviews where celebs shoot their mouths off or say something ridiculous and I can only imagine when that happens that the interviewer is thinking, jackpot! I don't know what's worse celebs who are so managed they can barely say their own name or celebs who insist on confirming their stupidity Everytime they open their mouths.

He just sounds like a very angry and aggressive man. And also a total dickhead.

Exactly.

For me the "wow, this guy is a dick" moment came when he threatened to beat up Andy Samberg over "Mark Wahlberg talks to animals". Sure he came and "made fun of it" the next week, but that it had to be explained to him? Really dude, it's a comedy show.

Well, in fairness, physically attacking more than one person and using racial slurs are pretty damning. That's about all I need to know about someone to judge them. I'm not saying he hasn't changed, but his comments were dick comments from a guy who has never been exactly humble.

I think he made the 9/11 comments to explain his love for his family, which is fine to express, but it is really insulting to those that were on the plane. He's implying they didn't "love" their family enough to fight back.

This also annoys me the way Jay-Z's statement that he won't use the word "b*tch" anymore annoys me. Yeah, because now that you have a vested interest in the word, it's not okay to use, but it was before that? The people on the planes all had families and it was a tragedy for them. But because in this hypothetical situation it's HIS family, so they somehow have a higher priority than anyone else's?

OT, but that report about Jay-Z is false.

From EW:

Yesterday, there was an idea flying around this series of tubes that Jay-Z, he of new fatherhood and extremely public displays of affection, had written a poem about his daughter Blue Ivy where he renounced using the word “b—-” (yeah, not “baby”) in his lyrics. [snip]

As it turns out, the whole thing was a figment of the Internet’s imagination. Jay’s representatives reached out to E! to let them know that the poem did not come from their client. They’re uncertain about the origin of the words, but they’re sure that they were not written by Jay-Z.

I know Wahlberg has a sketchy past and issues with anger. He made it seem years ago that he'd moved on. But I still get a barely-contained angerspolsion vibe from him.

Here's the quotes about his criminal past and his lack of guilt now.

Commenting in 2006 on his past crimes, Wahlberg has stated: "I did a lot of things that I regretted and I have certainly paid for my mistakes." He said the right thing to do would be to try to find the blinded man and make amends, and admitted he has not done so, but added that he was no longer burdened by guilt: "You have to go and ask for forgiveness and it wasn't until I really started doing good and doing right, by other people as well as myself, that I really started to feel that guilt go away. So I don't have a problem going to sleep at night. I feel good when I wake up in the morning."

After landing in prison following this assault he decided to change his ways. According to Wahlberg, "As soon as I began that life of crime, there was always a voice in my head telling me I was going to end up in jail. Three of my brothers had done time. My sister went to prison so many times I lost count. Finally I was there, locked up with the kind of guys I'd always wanted to be like. Now I'd earned my stripes and I was just like them and I realized it wasn't what I wanted at all. I'd ended up in the worst place I could possibly imagine and I never wanted to go back. First of all I had to learn to stay on the straight and narrow." Wahlberg first relied on the guidance of his parish priest to turn his back on crime. He told his street gang that he was leaving them and had "some serious fights" with them over it. The actor commented in 2009: "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life and I've done bad things. But I never blamed my upbringing for that. I never behaved like a victim so that I would have a convenient reason for victimizing others. Everything I did wrong was my own fault. I was taught the difference between right and wrong at an early age. I take full responsibility."

He's a real talker, but his words seem empty. He wants so badly to say the right thing and do the right thing. He has his youth foundation, his relgion and family. It's like he's playing the role of 'good guy' in his real life without truly feeling it or understanding what that means. I've always liked him and thought the way he has tried to make amends with his past was commendable, but now with reading these particular quotes in succession I get a creepy vibe about him.

I saw him on Anderson Cooper's talk show when I was on winter break; I'm a little surprised that this guy never bothered to get his GED. Really?

I give him credit for this. He's at least smart enough to realize he's too dumb to pass it.

[petitesuite]

I wouldn't get my GED either if I were him. What's the point?

Everything else recently mentioned in this thread is inexcusable, but that I can understand.
