The actor has it in for the One Direction singer who's become a hero for his daughters

One Direction is currently one of the hottest boy bands out there today and singer Harry Styles has become quite the breaker of teen hearts. This is exactly the point that is bothering Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg.

In a recent interview on the Conan O'Brian Show, Mark Wahlberg opened up about “One Direction” and Harry Styles in particular. The apple of Discord is the fact that Mark's two daughters seem to be smitten with the singer, something which didn't agree with Wahlberg.

He told Conan that his 10-year-old and his 4-year-old daughters were both keen on Harry: “Now the girls have turned to One Direction, they don't care about Dad anymore. My 4-year-old's going, ‘Daddy, I like Harry.’ And I'm like, ‘Well, I'm gonna punch Harry in the nose when I see him.’”

Mark confessed that he is used to being the hero to his children, so when someone else comes in to steal their affection, he gets jealous.

Throwing gasoline on the fire, Conan theorized what would happen if Mark came face to face with the band. To which Mark replied that he would try to “lure One Direction to help with a project, get them into a room and then beat the [expletive] out of Harry.” But then he added, “Probably all five of them.”

On a more serious note, Wahlberg admitted that he was trying to set up a meeting between his daughter and the boys from One Direction. It must be one of the perks of being a celebrity, because the boys don't show up for just anyone.
