As crass as he is onscreen, offscreen Mark Wahlberg can be soothing. He's thankful for compliments and looks you in the eye as he talks about why his priorities have changed: his children, Ella Rae, 3, and Michael, 6 months, with girlfriend Rhea Durham, 28, a model.
"I've been worrying about me and my career," he says. "That's going to take a backseat at some point. I want to do some great work now, some interesting movies, and then be going to school plays and soccer games – far from a camera."
Wahlberg earned as many raves for August's football flick Invincible as he has for The Departed. "But I don't want to raise my kids in Hollywood," he insists. He has a house there now, but is looking for something a little more tranquil for the future.
