Q DID you know the computer game the film is based on?

A NO, but I checked it out and realised they’ve changed quite a bit since my days of going to the arcade playing Pacman.

But I can’t get caught up playing video games. I have an addictive personality and three children so it would be very irresponsible for me to pick up another habit. I have golf which is my one vice.

Q YOU have a five year old daughter, two year old son and a newborn son at four weeks - how’s your sleep?

A I’M getting a little bit more than mommy is. After being on the road I can pretty much sleep through everything. She’s taking care of the newborn because I am terrified of babies until they’re like six months old because they’re fragile looking, but I’m keeping the other kids busy.

Q HOW is it being a father of three?

A IT’S awesome. It’s a little more complicated but I’m the youngest of nine kids so I’ll have as many as mommy can handle.

Q SO another six to go? (Read full story …)

“The Happening” may have been a critical flop, but nobody can say Mark Wahlberg holds any grudges against his erstwhile director M. Night Shyamalan. “He’s a sweet guy,” Wahlberg told us. “For whatever mistakes he’s made, I think he’s learned from them and he’s a true artist.”

But that doesn’t mean he’s fishing for career advice from the guy. Because as Wahlberg related, when he saw his ucpoming weapons-toting hero Max Payne in the editing room, “I was like, ‘Yes! This is the sh-t I need to be doing! This is the stuff that makes people say, ‘You know what, you’re the man!’ This is it!’”

Will Mark Wahlberg miss the Emmys this year? If he does, it’s because he might have a more pressing engagement — the upcoming birth of his second son!

ET asked the “Entourage” executive producer if he’s going to the Emmys on September 21, and he revealed, “That’s our due date so we’ll see — it would be nice to go there, get the Emmy, and then from the Emmys go to the hospital and bring our little boy into the world!”

Mark and his longtime love Rhea Durham’s new baby boy will join their 2-year-old son, Michael, and their 4-year-old daughter, Ella.

Well, now we know what makes Marky Mark “all warm in the pants.”

Try a crowd of thousands of young fans at Comic-Con rapt with attention over his upcoming action thriller “Max Payne.”

Surprising too, considering that outside of the “Tomb Raider” movies, video game adaptations typically yield limited success.

Your new film, The Happening, has some grisly scenes. Did any of them freak you out?
Oh yeah! The scene with builders walking off the scaffolding and hitting the pavement; the one with the lions eating a guy’s arms and the truck scene, where the camera cuts outside the jeep and they floor it into a tree. I wasn’t expecting that! I read the script 100 times, but as I’m not in any of those scenes, I didn’t see the footage until I saw the movie. I had to look away every time! My girlfriend freaked out. But that’s M Night Shyamalan (the director) for you. He loves to scare people!

You were given two years for assault when you were a kid. What would the old Mark think of the new one?
He’d beat the shit out of him! He’d knock him down, take his wallet and tell him to go back to wherever he came from!

I kind of thought Mark Wahlberg might hit me if I brought up A) New Kids on the Block or B) the Funky Bunch in my interview with him to ostensibly promote “The Happening.” Lo and behold 15 minutes into our chat I found him to be a charming, self-effacing guy who was more than happy to laugh at his past a little.

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.

Recientemente nosotros entrevistamos al popular actor Mark Wahlberg sobre sus experiencias rodando su nuevo filme ‘Max Payne’ (se fracturó su dedo pulgar derecho golpeando una pared), la mezcla de comedia y horror en ‘The Happening’ y sobre su regreso a los escenarios musicales. ¿Veremos a Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch nuevamente para el 2009? Averigüe en el vídeo arriba.

Though The Happening–in its eerie examination of the nature of belief and fear–is reminiscent of director M. Night Shyamalan’s previous films, it also forges new ground for the filmmaker. For starters, it’s his first R-rated film, which Shyamalan claims is entirely appropriate, seeing as how it presents the tragic results of an apocalpyptic scenario hitting the northeastern United States. Tossing aside pretense, however, Shyamalan readily admits he’s made a B movie, in the tradition of the paranoia-soaked atomic-age sci-fi thrillers of the ’50s. But this B movie boasts one of the director’s strongest casts in recent memory, with Mark Wahlberg in the lead role of Elliot, a high school science teacher trying to make sense of some decidedly unsensible circumstances. The charmingly quirky Zooey Deschanel plays Alma, Elliot’s wife, who’s wrestling throughout this crisis with a secret she’s kept from her husband. And the multi-talented John Leguizamo is on-hand as the couple’s friend–and Elliot’s colleague–math teacher Julian, who seeks only to protect his own wife and child.

We spoke with Shyamalan and his cast at the film’s New York press junket yesterday, where they shared with us how they prepped for their roles, their experiences with the unexplainable, and of course their greatest fears…
