Overview
Wahlberg, 39, who is starring in new movie The Other Guys, has been in trouble with the law in the past and he admitted people wrongly believe he is still a tough guy now.
Speaking to Britain's Empire magazine, he said: 'Yeah, even today doing these photoshoots I was doing earlier. They want me to pull all these silly faces, but that's just not me.
'I can't do that. It's not that I think I'm too cool. Then the guy was like: 'Okay, no problem. We can do the bad-ass look, then.' And I'm like: 'Well, I'm not really a bad-ass either!'
'You know, I'm a dad. I grew up in an edgy environment and had to navigate through a pretty tough world, so I was required to appear a bad-ass, but I'm past all that now.'
The actor is married to model Rhea Durham and they have four children - Ella, seven, Michael, four, Brendan, two, and Grace, eight months.
