AceShowbiz - Mark Wahlberg wants to go on an adventure with Bear Grylls, but he needs his wife's permission. The 49-year-old outdoor adventurer makes a cameo appearance in "Arthur the King", Mark's new action-adventure film, and the Hollywood star is now keen to test himself in the wild alongside Bear.
Asked if he'd ever be interested in going on a survivalist adventure with Bear, Mark told Entertainment Tonight, "If I get permission from my wife, yes."
Mark has been married to Rhea Durham since 2009, and she's reluctant for him to do "extreme" adventures. The movie star said, "She doesn't think I need to be doing things that are too extreme. I mean, I'm not doing any Tom Cruise-type of stuff. But I do enough where it's like, 'Yeah, you don't want to put yourself in harm's way.' "
Mark plays an adventure racer who befriends a stray dog in "Arthur the King", and the actor admitted that the shoot was a big challenge. He explained, "You want to pay attention to the small stuff and you want to look the part. Unfortunately, I tore my meniscus the first day, so all my training went out the window."
At one point, Mark felt like the movie's future was hanging in the balance. The actor, who is well-known for his dedication to his health and wellbeing, said, "I just felt like, you know, it took a long time to get the movie off the ground and we were in the middle of COVID, and if I had shut it down, I don't know if we would've got it up and running again. So I just kind of toughed it out and I found different ways of getting through."
