Mark Wahlberg Doesn’t Plan to Work Forever

I am not sure what kind of revelation it takes for someone who doesn’t have to work anymore, say that they don’t want to work forever, but that’s what Mark Wahlberg is saying. While movies were once his main priority, he has told People Magazine he hopes to be able to spend more time with his family and make less movies in the coming years.

People Magazine:

“‘I figure I got a few more years to work really hard and then, you know, if I can make a movie every year and a half or something then that would be nice,’ he told reporters at the press day for his latest film, We Own the Night. ‘I don’t want to work forever.”

The realization came to Wahlberg – whose life HBO’s ‘Entourage’ is based on and which he also executive produces – on the heels of the highly successful movie ‘The Departed,’ which brought the actor his first Oscar nomination.

‘It was at a really tough time,’ Wahlberg said of starting work on We Own the Night. ‘I was about to have my second child. I had left shortly after my first child was born to work and that was a very difficult experience.’”

Personally, I think it’s nice that one of Hollywood’s big bad boys has more important priorities other than celebrity status and work. Of course, these days it’s the girls that seem to want to screw up their lives. You rarely hear about the crazed guys anymore, unless they are dog fighting or racing in their pussy magnets.
