Viral of the Day: Mark Wahlberg the Weatherman

Doing weather reports seems to be the latest finding for promotional purposes in celebrity world. Mark Wahlberg is now promoting his brand new film “Broken City” and, in the process, showing off his hidden talents.

Check out the video above to see him doing the weather and traffic reports for Good Day Philadelphia.

Mark and director Allen Hughes were invited on the show to talk about the film, which also stars Russell Crowe, but my guess is that this bit was the funniest, and most fun for them as well.

Though he seems to have some problems with the map at first, Mark really gets his game on when he turns to reporting on the traffic, even ditching his Boston accent for a Philadelphia one.

“Broken City” hits theaters on January 18.
