Mark Wahlberg, formerly Marky Mark, was interviewed by MTV while doing promotion for his new movie, “The Happening.” Eventually the interviewer got around to the topic of Mark’s brother, Donnie Wahlberg member of New Kid on the Block and the band’s reunion. Mark is refreshingly candid.
His reaction to brother Donnie hooking up with NKOTB once again? “Whatever floats your boat. If the Rolling Stones can be wheeled out on wheelchairs then why can’t the New Kids go out there?”
What about a reunion with the Funky Bunch who are also reportedly getting back together? “Not a f—ing chance,” he told me.
“They asked me if I would partake and I had to decline,” he continued. “Part of me would love to run around and act like a freaking a–hole again but I can’t do that. I’ve got two kids. I saw something on VH1 or something about me in the 90s and I thought, oh my God, how am I going to explain this to my kids? I have a few years to think about how to finesse it but I do think about it on a daily basis.”
And, in case you forgot, here’s the video to “Good Vibrations.” You know you want to dance….

Nice response! Seems like he is more down-to-earth than a lot of people in entertainment. I couldn’t stomach the whole video…ugh…
