Mark Wahlberg admits he took a particular prop from Boogie Nights…
Wahlberg played porn star Dirk Diggler in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 1997 classic. It earned him his first Screen Actors Guild nomination as well as a LOT of attention, for one scene in particular.
Out promoting his new film, Father Stu, Wahlberg appeared on Ellen and answered a series of of rapid-fire questions. Ellen asked him if he still had the famous prosthetic,
Yes, yes. It’s in a safe locked away
It’s not something I could leave out. All of a sudden my kids are looking for a spare phone charger and pull that thing out and go, ‘
What the heck is this?!’
It wouldn’t be a good look.”
Though his kids have not seen “it”, Wahlberg said his daughter has watched the movie.
She has not had the conversation with me. Thank god, she’s sparing me.”
Years ago I posted the #NSFW The Inside Story of Mark Wahlberg’s Gigantic Boogie Nights Penis on my personal blog and it still brings in 25-40,000 hits per years. (People must Googlethat phrase a LOT.)
