Mark Wahlberg's kids love seeing him 'swearing' on screen now they're old enough to watch
Mark Wahlberg has revealed how much his children love watching him in sweary action roles now they're old enough to watch.
Mark Wahlberg admits his children love seeing him "swearing" and "kicking a**" on screen.
The 54-year-old actor - who has kids Ella, 22, Michael, 19, Brendan, 17, and Grace, 15, with wife Rhea Durham, 47 - was joined by his family at the premiere of new movie Play Dirty this week, and now his children have grown up they've started to appreciate his work on the big screen.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "We saw this movie together, we were in Paris, we were all hanging out in Paris.
"I was doing Family Plan 2, and they love this movie. So now, they love seeing dad swearing, kicking a** — all the things that they couldn't see when they were kids, they're now allowed to see.
"And I think they enjoy those more."
Mark was delighted to have the whole family together on the red carpet for the event.
He added: "I'm so excited that all of my kids [are here], because my daughter's been away at school, everybody's kind of doing their own thing at this age.
"I really want to just spend time with them. So it's great that we all got to get together, even if it's just for the night."
He shot Play Dirty in Australia, and it was tough being "away from home" on the other side of the world for such a long stretch.
He said: "You know, it's a difficult shoot a long time away from home, we shot in Australia. It's very far away, missing family."
His wife and kids did visit him during the shoot, and he insisted the "biggest sacrifice" is being away from his loved ones, while he can handle the physical demands of action movies at this stage in his career.
He explained: "I think that's the biggest sacrifice, but you know, for me the action stuff is easy.
"I've kind of I've done it all. I'm not worried about doing my own stunts. I'm more worried about bringing this character to life."
