Mark Wahlberg’s Rare Red Carpet Appearance with Family at Play Dirty Premiere

Mark Wahlberg made a rare red carpet appearance with his entire family on Wednesday.

The actor, 54, was joined by model wife Rhea Durham, 47, and their four kids – Ella, 22, Michael, 18, Brendan, 17, and Grace, 15 – at the world premiere of his new movie Play Dirty, at SVA Theater in New York City.

The proud parents happily posed with their brood at the event, with Mark — who showed off his hunky shirtless physique earlier this year — revealing how his kids have started to appreciate his work.

‘We saw this movie together, we were in Paris, we were all hanging out in Paris,’ he told People on the red carpet.

‘I was doing Family Plan 2, and they love this movie. So now, they love seeing dad swearing, kicking a** — all the things that they couldn’t see when they were kids, they’re now allowed to see. And I think they enjoy those more,’ he shared.

Wahlberg added he was ‘so excited’ all his kids were at the event.

‘My daughter’s been away at school, everybody’s kind of doing their own thing at this age. I really want to just spend time with them.’

‘So it’s great that we all got to get together, even if it’s just for the night.’

The actor kept it casual for the premiere, sporting a dark green crew neck, khaki pants and white sneakers. 

Meanwhile Rhea stunned in a strapless black gown paired with open-toe gold heels.

‘You know, it’s a difficult shoot a long time away from home, we shot in Australia. It’s very far away, missing family,’ he told People.
