It’s been a long time”: $400M Rich Mark Wahlberg Said He Misses Old ‘Marky Mark’ Rapper Days
Many famous actors have had surprising jobs before they became famous in Hollywood.

Jim Carrey worked as a factory janitor before starting his career as a comedian, and Angelina Jolie began as a model before transitioning to acting.

It is also not uncommon for celebrities to have a background in music before their acting careers take off, and Mark Wahlberg is no exception.

Wahlberg’s first introduction to fame was through his older brother Donnie Wahlberg, who was part of the successful boy band “New Kids on the Block.”

At just 13 years old, Wahlberg joined the group as one of its original members before eventually leaving.

Later, he formed his own hip-hop group, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

While their record sales didn’t reach the millions, their debut single “Good Vibrations” topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

They even released a video game called “Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch: Make My Video,” but it was a commercial failure.

Nonetheless, Wahlberg’s days as a rapper in the 90s were successful enough.

Today, Wahlberg is known for his roles in blockbuster films such as “Uncharted” and “Transformers,” but he still misses his days as a rapper.

In a 2012 interview with Collider, he admitted that he hadn’t picked up a microphone or sung karaoke in a long time.

However, he does rap in the car with his kids from time to time.

Despite the decades that have passed since Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch’s first single, Wahlberg hasn’t completely let go of his rapper persona.

He said on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” last year that he would be happy to get back to his roots under the right circumstances.

“Give me two days to rehearse,” he said.

“I can just get back into the swing of things.

I need to just hear it and feel it.”

Wahlberg’s nostalgia for his rap days is understandable, as it was a time when he first experienced success in the entertainment industry.

Along with Will Smith and Ice Cube, he belongs to a group of actors who have successfully made the transition from music to acting.

Other celebrities like Jim Carrey and Angelina Jolie also had unexpected early careers before they found success in Hollywood.

For Carrey, it was working as a janitor in a factory, while Jolie started as a model.

It’s clear that Wahlberg’s past as a rapper has played an important role in his life, even as he’s become a successful actor.

His willingness to revisit his musical roots shows that he hasn’t forgotten where he came from, and that he still has a passion for performing.

In the end, it’s not surprising that Mark Wahlberg misses his days as a rapper.

After all, it was a time when he first gained recognition in the entertainment industry, and it helped pave the way for his future success as an actor.

While he’s moved on from his musical career, it’s clear that his experiences as a rapper continue to shape his life today.
