I didn't pay much attention to Mark Wahlberg when he was mediocre rapper Marky Mark with The Funky Bunch...
but then, I saw his ads for Calvin Klein underwear...
Who wouldn't be boy crazy about a guy so audacious as to grab himself in public while wearing a pair tighty whities (which is not the sexiest type of underwear).
Here's one of his Calvin Klein ads: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLaERHBypKg&feature=related
Over the years, Mark's image has changed from bad boy...
...to cool big brother...
...to a protective body-guard-type of lover.
What I'm most attracted to is his voice. It has that carefully-restrained quality typical of men who've done time for some kind of violent display. The rager is still in there, but he's trying really hard not to scare you.
You hear the voice at the end of Boogie Nights, when--as porn star Dirk Diggler--he tries to reassure himself.
Mark even uses the voice when he talks to plants:
I don't know what the plant thinks, but it works for me.
