Mark Wahlberg’s kids are not fond of his ’90s fashion sense.
Wahlberg, 51, recently sat down with his “Me Time” co-stars, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall for an interview where he shared his children are “terribly embarrassed” by his old looks.
“Oh, they’re terribly embarrassed by it,” Wahlberg said during the interview with Entertainment Tonight, speaking on his “Marky Mark” era fashion. “Marky Mark” was the stage name Wahlberg went by in the 90s.
However, Wahlberg jokingly added, “My son, the whole time we were on summer break, doesn’t have a shirt on and has his underwear hanging out. He totally stole the whole look.”

“My son has just recently turned 16,” he revealed. “And he gets embarrassed by everything I do. Even the stuff that people think is cool in 2022, like, movies and stuff. He’s like, ‘Dad, that’s so dumb. Dad, that’s terrible.'”

Even with his son’s criticism, Wahlberg shared that his entire family came together to enjoy a viewing of his newest comedy “Me Time.”
“I watched with my whole family [without them] knowing anything about the story and the script, and to see the kids being able to enjoy it as much as the adults [was great],” he said.

“There’s a lot of humor that goes a little over their heads, but it’s very enjoyable.” “Me Time,” starring Wahlberg, Hart and Hall, will release on Netflix on Aug. 26.
