Mark Wahlberg Attends Play Dirty World Premiere With Wife and All Four Kids in NYC

Mark Wahlberg made a rare red carpet appearance with his wife and all four children at the world premiere of his film Play Dirty on Wednesday in New York City. The event at the SVA Theater drew the actor, 54, alongside wife Rhea Durham and their children—Ella, 22; Michael, 18; Brendan, 17; and Grace, 15.

Wahlberg kept casual in a dark green crew-neck sweater, khaki pants and white sneakers, while Durham wore a strapless black gown with open-toe gold heels. The family’s style matched the moment: Ella wore a magenta silk gown, Grace chose a black dress with white sneakers, Brendan wore a grey henley shirt with dark jeans and white Converse, and Michael appeared in a pale blue button-up with navy pants and brown dress shoes. The appearance underscored a rare family moment on a red carpet, as Wahlberg noted that filming in Australia had kept him away from home for long stretches.

At the premiere, Wahlberg told People that his kids have begun to appreciate his work now that they are older. 'We saw this movie together, we were in Paris, we were all hanging out in Paris,' he said on the red carpet. '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.' He added that he was 'so excited' all his kids were able to attend.

Additional cast members in attendance included Keegan-Michael Key, Rosa Salazar, Tony Shalhoub, Nat Wolff, and Thomas Jane, along with director Shane Black. Rhea Durham also posted about the evening on Instagram, sharing images from inside the theater and a glimpse of Play Dirty tote bags. According to the film’s synopsis, Parker (Wahlberg), Grofield (Stanfield), Zen (Salazar), and their crew face off against the New York mob after stumbling upon a major score. Play Dirty is set to debut on Prime Video on October 1.
