Mark Wahlberg (Classic Edition)


I remember running into Mark Wahlberg on the bench in a gym in downtown Vancouver.  It was a distraction to my own workout, to say the least.  Mark Wahlberg was once upon a time known around the world as Marky Mark.  He was not the awesome actor/director/producer we know today.  He was once a famous musician that churned out hits with his posse "The Funky Bunch".


Marky Mark was also known as the member of "New Kids on the Block" that backed out and as the younger brother of "NKOTB" member, Donnie Wahlberg.


Marky Mark was so famous in the 90s that he scored a Calvin Klein underwear campaign and multiple covers of magazines.  Annie Leibovitz also shot a famous session of Mark Wahlberg in underwear for "Vanity Fair"s annual Hall of Fame issue (seen below).


What set Marky Mark or Mark Wahlberg apart from everyone else was not his musical talent.  It was his pants dropping and crotch grabbing performances that skyrocketted the former "New Kids on the Block" to fame.  And a quote from another 90s phenomenon, Clueless, describes how Marky Mark was viewed by popular culture.

Josh: We might get Marky Mark to plant a celebrity tree. 
Cher: Oh how fabulous. Getting Marky Mark to take time from his busy pants dropping schedule to plant trees. Why dont you just hire a gardener?
