Mark's son meets Dwayne Johnson

Here is a short article from Star Pulse in which he talks about what happened when his son met The Rock.

On the set of his new movie "Pain and Gain," Mark Wahlberg's 3-year-old son punched his father's co-star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the genitals.

During filming, Wahlberg asked Johnson to stop by his trailer so his children could meet the former wrestler. He didn't realize his son's painful penchant for greeting men would apply to the three year old's hero.

Wahlberg recalls, "They're in the trailer, he gives my one son a high five and then the next one he goes to give him a high five and my son... (punched him) right in the nuts. I'm like, 'What are you doing, dude?' And he (Johnson) looks at me like I made him do it or something. I thought he was gonna try to, like, pick me up and slam me."

The film centers on a group of bodybuilding criminals and is directed by Michael Bay.

Mark Wahlberg talks about the New England Patriots losing the Super Bowl

Contact Music reports that Mark was so upset over the New England Patriots losing the Super Bowl that it even started a fight with his wife. Here is the article:

Mark Wahlberg has been banned from watching the Super Bowl at home with friends following a row with his wife after his beloved New England Patriots lost to rivals the New York Giants in February (12). 

The passionate Boston, Massachusetts sports fan was so upset when the Giants won he kicked all his pals out of his house and then yelled at his wife Rhea Durham when she told him to calm down. 

The movie star admits he has regretted the confrontation ever since and now he accepts he may never be able to watch his Patriots in the American football final if his wife is at home. 

He says, "She was so upset I wasn't able to make it up to her until Valentine's Day... She said, 'You know, you're never watching the game again (at home),' but now she just hopes that the Patriots make it back to the Super Bowl so she can go on, like, a week vacation." 

Wahlberg admits he's still coming to terms with the Giants' come-from-behind victory: "It was bad. I always tell myself I'm not gonna get upset, but you just can't help it." 

In fact, he's more cut up about the defeat that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. 

Wahlberg adds, "He's doing good. He handled it better than I did. He came to visit me... and Tom feels, like, they're gonna win this year."
