Mark Wahlberg, the man once known as Marky Mark, is 54 years old today.  That’s the type of news that really makes you realize how quickly time passes.

Good Vibrations was Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg’s first MTV-promoted music video.  The woman in the video is model Traci Bingham, who later went on to appear on Baywatch.  Boxer Mickey Ward was brought in to show the 18 year-old Marky Mark how to convincingly throw a punch in the ring.  Years later, Wahlberg would play Mickey Ward in The Fighter.

I would love to be able to go back to 1991 and tell everyone that Marky Mark was destined to be an Oscar nominee.  They would be so shocked that they probably wouldn’t even flinch when I told them that, when Marky Mark turned 54, Donald Trump was serving his second nonconsecutive term as President.

Enjoy!
