Marky Mark takes a "Max Payne" on the carpet

Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis take control of the red carpet for the World Premiere of "Max Payne" at the Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood this past October 13, 2008.


Mark Wahlberg

Wow how the young have grown. From Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch to a Hollywood career, Mark Wahlberg has shown that he has what it takes to stay afloat in the dog eat dog world of Hollywood. Mark joins Mila Kunis in "Max Payne."

According to Yahoo, Max Payne is a maverick cop--a mythic anti-hero--determined to track down those responsible for the brutal murders of his family and partner. Hell-bent on revenge, his obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmare journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.

Mila Kunis has grown up from the days of "That 70's Show." I was blown away with the strikingly beautiful look she had going on this night. Definitely a woman is born. Hopefully, the film shows her acting chops.

Along with Mila Kunis was singer Nelly Furtado. Everyone definitely were saying "Whoa Nelly!" as they noticed her bum. One photographer blurted out, "My Gawd! It's probably bigger than J-Lo." I'm sure Nelly was loving the attention.

For the ladies, Rodrigo Santoro showed up to the premiere. If all can remember, he was in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and also played the androgynous looking Xerxes in "300." However, for some reason his publicist was wisking him away from spot to spot that she made him skip a whole section in which i was one of at least 15 photographers who did not capture the essence of Mr. Santoro.

Ladies not to worry as rough and romantic Amaury Nolasco was able to stop for the cameras. For the hip-hop lovers, I was able to take a quick shot of Chris "Ludacris" Bridges on the carpet. Of course, the same publicist who walked Rodrigo down the carpet, commandeered Ludacris from posing long enough for us to get a good shot of him.

Overall the premiere would've been an exciting "payne" to enjoy sans that one publicist.

"Max Payne" opens in theaters in Oct 17, 2008
