Mark Wahlberg Reflects on Mother's Clooney Crush

Mark Wahlberg shared a humorous recollection during a recent interview about how his mother, Alma Wahlberg, became enamored with George Clooney while visiting the set of 'The Perfect Storm' in 1999. Wahlberg humorously recounted that his mother believed Clooney was flirting with her, saying, 'Oh, he likes me a lot. He loves me.' Despite his skepticism, he jokingly encouraged her to pursue a relationship with Clooney, saying, 'Well, f—k it, have a baby with him! I want a little brother!' Clooney, however, went on to marry Amal Clooney in 2014, and Wahlberg reminisced about the amazing experience of filming the movie, which is based on a tragic real-life event involving a lost fishing vessel. Wahlberg's memories reflect fondly on his mother's admiration, stating she cherished a picture with Clooney more than those with her own children.
