by CBB correspondent Joyce:
Mark Wahlberg may have just scored an Oscar nomination for his supporting turn in The Departed, but the 35-year-old insists he’s more focused on being a good father than a good actor. "I want to perfect parenthood," he says.
The father of two also reveals that his children, daughter Ella Rae, 3, and son Michael, 10 months, have an affectionate and apparently very tight bond.
My daughter loves her little brother, she just doesn’t know her own strength. The hugs are big, so you’ve got to look out for them. But he’s tough.
Ella and Michael’s mother is Mark’s longtime girlfriend, model Rhea Durham, 28.
