Wahlberg 'embarrassed' about music career

The 39-year-old star Mark Wahlberg - who was an original member of New Kids on the Block before quitting because he didn't like their musical style and going on to find fame as rapper Marky Mark - admits he realises now he wasn't as cool as he once thought.

Asked how he feels about his singing career, he said: "Ah man, embarrassed. I thought I was so cool back then, but when I see the footage, I was such an a*s."
