NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The Other Guys, Lone Survivor, The Departed and The Italian Job actor Mark Wahlberg says he thinks parents and young adults will relate "1000 percent" to his new action-comedy, The Family Plan 2.
"That's why people loved the first one so much. There was something in it for everybody," Wahlberg, 54, told UPI in a Zoom interview Thursday.
Premiering Friday on Apple TV, the sequel to 2023's The Family Plan follows Wahlberg's Dan Morgan, an assassin who keeps trying to retire, and his wife Jessica (Michelle Monaghan), as they travel to London to surprise their daughter Nina (Zoe Colletti) and her new secret beau Omar (Reda Elazzouar) for Christmas.
"People are enjoying it so much that now this kid's calling me 'Daddy,'" Wahlberg said about the charming Omar.
"They remember me being 'the boyfriend,' especially early on [in my career]. And now it's kind of come full circle."
