Mark Wahlberg‘s “dad bod” definitely goes against the grain.
On Wednesday’s episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, the host talked to the longtime actor about his in-development projectSix Billion Dollar Man(newly slated for a 2020 release), which he’s been getting extra buff for.
He adds ofGrace Margaret, 8, andElla Rae, 14, “I get, ‘Dad, put a shirt on’ all the time, even when I have a shirt on. If I have one shirt on, they’ll say, ‘Put another shirt on.’ ”

“At first … they don’t like it when I scare the boyfriend, and then all of a sudden they’re like, ‘Dad, can you come see me at school?’ ‘Cause they want me tocome and scare the boyfriend,” he jokes.

“Wow. You are boring,” jokes DeGeneres, 60, to the father of four (he and wifeRhea Durhamare also parents to sons Brendan Joseph, 9½, and Michael, 12).
While Ella is in high school, she’s not too old to give her dad some love now and again — but the actor says there’s a limit to her patience,which he learned while takinghis girls out for some quality time.
“The other day, I got a hug,” he says. “Got a hug, then I tried to go in for a little more, like, ‘Hey, what’s going on? What are we gonna do next week?’ And [she was like], ‘Stop, Dad.’ ‘I love you.’ ‘Shut up, Dad.’ ”
” ‘Did you have a great time?’ ‘Enough, Dad, be quiet, Dad,’ ” Wahlberg recalls. “And then the voice raises and I just [give up]. I had a little chuckle, though, ’cause I still got the hug.”
