Mark Wahlberg’s Son Attacked By An Octopus!
Mark Wahlberg appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote his new movie, The Other Guys, co-starring Will Farrell, and recounted a scary event that is making him consider taking legal action against a public aquarium in San Diego, California.
Wahlberg and his model wife, Rhea Durham were in San Diego on a family holiday with their four children when the incident occurred.
He told Letterman: “We have a tour guide so she’s like, ‘You have a special treat today, we’ll be able to take you behind the tank and you’ll be able to see the octopus…’ So this women pulls out this gigantic octopus, the thing latches on to my son’s arm. It’s got my wife, (it’s) wrapped completely around the lady, and another guy’s just standing there. They can’t get this octopus off.”
“My son is freaking out but no sound is coming out of his mouth. So finally we rip the thing off of him. He’s got all these suction marks that look like about 30 little hickeys (bruises). The lady can’t get out, she’s yelling for help… He (the aquarium manager) said it’s never been that aggressive.”
Although the audience was laughing at Walhberg’s retelling of the story, Letterman was recommending that the actor might want to take legal action. Wahlberg went on to say that : “We haven’t filed yet but if you could recommend a good lawyer… Once the woman who handles the octopus starts freaking out I knew there was a problem. She couldn’t even get away from the thing. She had to have help come running in. Once I got my kid out of there I said, ‘Let’s go!’ I left the lady there. That’s her problem.”
I can’t imagine how scary that must have been for the family. Thankfully their little guy is OK!
