Not his finest moments. While Mark Wahlberg has gained success throughout his career, he has faced his fair share of controversies.
The Boston native had his first run-in with the law as a teenager. In June 1986, Wahlberg and a group of friends were charged for chasing and throwing rocks at a group of Black children while yelling racial slurs at them. Two months later, a civil action suit was brought against the Ted star for the incident, but the case was settled in September of the same year.
Two years later, Wahlberg committed another hate crime when he assaulted two Vietnamese men and made derogatory comments about them. The Departed actor was charged with attempted murder and pleaded guilty to felony assault for the 1988 attack. At the time, Wahlberg claimed that he was intoxicated and that the attacks were not race related. Since he was previously charged with the civil rights offense, the Uncharted star was found to be in contempt of court and was sentenced to a two-year prison sentence. He served 45 days.
More than two decades later, Wahlberg sought out a pardon from the State of Massachusetts to have his teenage crime removed from his record.
