Mark Wahlberg says he left LA when he realized his kids needed a different environment to grow up in
"But my kids were getting exposed to a lot and getting in a lot of trouble," Mark Wahlberg said of living in LA.
Mark Wahlberg, the 55-year-old actor and businessman, has revealed that he moved his family from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 2022 after realizing his children were getting into trouble and exposed to negative influences. While he still misses the summertime weather, variety of restaurants, and his friends in Los Angeles, Wahlberg believes that living in Hollywood is no longer a necessity for success in the entertainment industry.
With advancements in technology allowing actors to self-tape and audition from anywhere, and movies being increasingly filmed in locations with more competitive tax credits, Wahlberg argues that one can live "anywhere" in today's industry. Despite moving to Las Vegas, Wahlberg plans to return to Los Angeles regularly for important events, emphasizing that "summertime in California, man, there's nothing better."
