better movie instant family tells the
story of a couple who stumble into the
world of foster care and ultimately
adoption that's right it's pita Nellie
they want to start a family but when
they decide to take in a 15 year old
girl they discover she also comes with
two younger siblings Mark Wahlberg stars
as Pete doing what he does best which is
navigate his new role without repeatedly
putting his foot in his mouth
take a look can I be the Clippers Oh
more of a Lakers fan oh sorry no no you
don't have to say sorry that's okay we
can be the Clippers all right okay I'm
gonna shoot you crash the boards okay
kidding me they were smart for trading
Blake Griffin your best player Oh
Mark Wahlberg welcome thanks for having
me you're so happy before we get to the
movie and we will we have to come in and
what Carson was talking about that
before you get started on your day
you're in the gym at the crack of dawn
yes and by crack of dawn what time is
that I usually get up about 2:30 in the
morning yes see this is funny because
usually we have actors come on in their
late-night people and we do a little
guilty that they had to get up so early
I've done that this is like now yeah
yeah I'm already four meals into the
dish yeah why not just you know I've
been working out for this particular
movie so I got on a really clean regimen
I get up early I do my prayer time and
reading writing working out all that
stuff before the kids even wake up and
you rubbed off on one of your co-stars
in the film Octavia Spencer it plays a
role and she said that you kind of got
her hooked too I have invited so many
people are so many people who invited
themselves to come and work out with me
at that time of the day nobody showed up
except for Octavia I sent her a bunch of
performances fine nutrition products and
she is she's more inspiring than I could
ever be always changing her life and
it's remarkable to see she's incredible
this movie does something so unusual
because it's a heavy topic on the one
hand you're you're a couple along with
Rose Byrne you guys are adopting three
older kids your had been in foster care
so it's a serious subject but it's done
with such humor and
such love is that what attracted you to
it that you kind of hit that sweet spot
well I just committed to making the
movie because I love the story um the
director Sean Anders it's based on his
real life he had done daddy's home with
me 1 & 2 and so anything he wants to
make I'm willing to make but yeah I mean
there are a lot of children out there in
foster care and when families are being
torn apart people you know who are in a
position to to open their hearts in
their home it's a remarkable thing but
you know being a parent in general
there's a lot of funny things that go on
and there's a lot of difficult well you
got to you got to rely and draw from
your own personal experiences how will
do your kids again 15 12 10 and 8 ok so
Sean took a lot of things that were
happening to me on daddy's home to when
I would get a phone call from my wife
she'd want me to referee a fight that
her and my daughter having I'd be
supposed to be saying something but they
wouldn't nobody would listen to me and
as I understand it the young actress who
plays your daughter she actually was
someone who had been through foster care
so she was able to give a lot of kind of
real life you know real life advice yeah
you know it's it's it's amazing
um you know I actually went to a foster
care event where they they kind of set
up these events especially older kids in
the system and you know they kind of try
to pair them with parents and I went to
and I met three children there were all
siblings and one of them the older boy
he was he inspired me he was like you
know what I'm getting an education I'm
gonna turn my life around I'm not
worried I mean it not that I'm gonna
take care of my brothers and I left
there thinking wow I mean so having that
experience and then having talked to
Sean I was like I had to be a part of
this a cool castro's Burton pleasure
plays your wife have you guys acted
together before we did never no we had
never acted before it was she's
fantastic she's so funny she's so sweet
she's a mom of two she loves to give me
a hard time I don't know anything about
me being involved in other businesses
all having all these other interests
yeah 30 a.m. work I must give it to all
everything but you know and I don't know
if she likes me or not but I be
Carnevale a couple of times and she's
fantastic
so we for fun we started googling you
and we wanted to see what are the most
common questions that people ask about
you okay and we thought we would do a
public service by
asking that Russia alright so do you
want to know the first was so we type
des mark wahlberg and what popped up was
have a tattoo oh I have had all of my
tattoos removed really and then I got
one tattoo I have it on my ring finger
so when I'm working I had my wife's my
wife's name there and she thought that
was the best gift I had ever given her
by the way it's ten times worse having
the removed so I reckon I've got this
one okay when will you type in how is
Mark Wahlberg the rest the question
fills in itself related to Celine Dion
are you related to Syd what di I've
never even met her I hope so okay that's
so weird
is Mark watch Canadian my mother mom
friend maybe maybe that's the connection
yeah and this is if you type in is Mark
Wahlberg the question that pops up is a
Lakers fan no I'm not are you sure you'd
be a Celtics I am a Celtics game I'm a
LeBron fan I live in LA one of the great
stories ever was the Sailfish were
playing the Lakers in the finals and I
was sitting beside Matt Damon and we
were cheering for the Celtics and Phil
Jackson turned around and told Matt
Damon to shut that I said hey he's
talking to you man but no obviously
living in LA you know to go to a Laker
game I heard you're shooting a boston
right now so like to all the kids from
the old neighborhood come and see you
and yes so it depends on who it is but
you know it's amazing to be able to
bring jobs back to Boston yeah and and
being there in the community you know
and if I can inspire kids growing up
especially in the bad parts like I did
to really kind of work hard and you know
do whatever they want whatever their
dream they can make happen I'm gonna
kill like most of our crew here but
