Mark Wahlberg Hopes Never to Explain "Boogie Nights" to His Daughter

Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg, 34, has banned his baby daughter from ever watching his raunchy performance in the famous 1997 "Boogie Nights", directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Massachusetts-born actor plays Eddie, an aspiring actor who gets discovered by Jack Horner, a porn director. Eddie then changes his name to Dirk Diggler and gets sucked in the lifestyle and relationships of the porn industry of the late-seventies.

Wahlberg does not want Ella Rae, his 23-month-old daughter to ever see the movie.

"I hope she never sees Boogie Nights. And if she does, there's gonna be a lot of explaining to do", the actor says.


Meanwhile, the "Boogie Nights" man is filming for "The Departed", waiting for another part as Charlie Croker in "The Brazilian Job".
