Who does not know Mark Wahlberg and Justin Bieber in this entertainment industry? Mark Wahlberg is popularly known for his 90s poster boy image. During this time he was a 90s heartthrob, from being a Calvin Klein model in his 90s to a versatile actor, and producer.
Justin Beiber on the other hand is known as a sensational performer and singer who has a massive loyal fan base. He gained his stardom after the release of his song Baby.
First glimpse of Justin Bieber in Calvin Klein ad
When we first saw Bieber in Calvin Klein, we could see the resemblance between him and Mark Wahlberg. Bieber looked like a young Wahlberg from his Calvin Klein days, standing upright and tall in those Calvin Klein boxers.
On Canon’s Wednesday night, Mark Wahlberg shared a very funny incident that happened with him when Justin Beiber became a part of the Calvin Klein brand. Wahlberg shared how Justin Beiber sent him a pic in his CK underwear.
Mark Wahlberg’s reaction to the pic
When 22-year-old Justin Beiber sent 45-year-old Mark Wahlberg his picture in the Calvin Klein boxers (Calvin Klein Campaign 2016), Wahlberg shared,
“He is a very nice young man. He is a friend of mine. I’ve spent time with him. He did send me the pictures. I was like, ‘You don’t send a guy pictures like this.”
According to Mirror, Mark Wahlberg said,
“He was proud, you know, it was a big deal for him to do. And I was like, I am at 45, a dad and a husband, a father of four, I’m trying to move away from that image.”
He hinted that it made him feel a little uncomfortable as he is twice his age. Wahlberg further said that there would be many people in this world who would want to see him in underwear but not him.
Mark Wahlberg: Accepting Fatherhood and Setting Priorities
Mark Wahlberg said,
“[Justin] was proud. It was a big deal for him to do it. I was like, I’m at 45, a dad, a husband, and a father of four, I’m trying to move away from that image.”
He also shared with E,
“I don’t need to see a picture of you in your underwear,” “I’ll probably see it when I’m driving down the street, and I’ll still try to avoid it.”
The actor is a father to four children and wants to move away from that image that once defined him as a person. Wahlberg admitted that he wanted to distance himself from the image of Marky Mark and wanted to be known for his acting skills.
While Mark Wahlberg wanted to get away from the image, he has the utmost respect for Justin Beiber for reaching this stage.
Wahlberg wants to be dedicated to his projects and work towards achieving recognition as an actor. He maintains that he has no regrets about his underwear modeling past. But these days, his priorities lie with family and acting rather than sensual photo shoots. As a devoted husband and dad, he aims to set a positive example for his children. Wahlberg respects younger stars like Bieber pursuing modeling fame, but he’s happy to have left those ad days behind.
