Mark Wahlberg would have taken on 9/11 terrorists

If Mark Wahlberg had been on one of those planes headed for the World Trade Center, things would apparently have gone down differently. Unlike the doomed passengers on those flights, Wahlberg would have fought the hijackers and taken over. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” Wahlberg said in an interview with Men’s Journal. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.’”

The Oscar-nominated actor and producer, once known for his reckless behavior and whirlwind partying, has transformed himself into not only one of Hollywood’s elite, but also a model husband and father — the only wild partying he does now is at “a big, wild Halloween party or Easter egg party.”  “I don’t go out at night anymore. I don’t hang around with the guys. I don’t really play golf. I stopped smoking cigarettes. I stopped smoking pot a lot of years ago, too. I’m focused on my family, my faith, and my work.” Wahlberg can most recently be seen starring alongside Ben Foster and Kate Beckinsale in the thriller Contraband. He’s also been busy serving as executive producer on the hit television shows Entourage, Boardwalk Empire, and How to Make it in America.
