Oh this is great!
Remember my disappointment in the New Kids reunion? And how I said I wished Donnie Wahlberg had followed the wisdom of his brother Mark after establishing a respectable acting career?
Well, when Mark was asked if he would ever consider a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch reunion, the same way his brother is (tragically) reviving NKOTB, Mark’s reaction was: “Not a f***ing chance.” Ha! Thank you!
Take note, Donnie. This should have been your answer when Danny or Joey or Jordan or whoever called you with the “Old Kids on the Block” idea:
“They asked me if I would partake and I had to decline,” Mark told MTV, referring to the Funky Bunch reunion that he will not be joining. “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.”
Outstanding. See it for yourself here. Are you listening, D?
(Oh, but Mark? Feel free to revisit your career as a CK model. Any time. No problem with that. At all. None. )
I’ve always loved him. Looking at the CK ad, I think he may have just bumped Mark Ruffalo off my list.
