Mark Wahlberg plans reality show

1st September 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Mark Wahlberg is considering making a "quality" reality TV show.

The actor and his brother Donnie Wahlberg have licensed the name Wahlburger and are planning to open a burger restaurant in their hometown Boston, alongside another of their siblings.

The news was announced last week, and Mark has now explained they are considering shooting a show about their efforts in the food business. He isn't sure he'll actually appear though, preferring to make other people the stars.

"Maybe I'll be the Charlie's Angels of reality TV," Mark mused. "You'll hear my voice. But obviously it's something that we'd want to control in every aspect and produce and make sure that we were doing something really quality."

Mark has other business ventures on his mind too. He is famed for showing off his sculpted abdominal muscles in adverts for Calvin Klein in the 90s and feels he's perfectly placed to teach the world about fitness.

The 40-year-old worries many people don't exercise enough, and wants to show how much regular work outs can improve people's bodies.

"We are interested at some point or another doing our own clothing line in the future," E! Online quotes him as saying. "As well as a health and wellness business that will help people first and foremost feel good, exercise, eat right and then look good... 85 per cent of the population doesn't exercise and eat right, and you want to be able to push them in the direction of extending their lifespan and living healthy lives."
