Between the many racially-charged crimes in his past, his feuding with one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and his dubious industry dealings, there's a lot about this rapper-turned-actor that gives us less than... good vibrations. This is the shady side of Mark Wahlberg. It didn't take long for Mark Wahlberg to start going off the rails when his parents split up. Just two years after his mother and father divorced, the youngest Wahlberg child began dabbling with hard drugs. At just 13 years old, he started using cocaine, and the drugs were only half of it as the eventual high school dropout was also stealing cars and sticking up rich kids by this point. As Wahlberg summed it up to Forbes, "We wanted what we didn't have, so we went out and hustled." Father Jim Flavin, the local parish priest where Wahlberg grew up, said Wahlberg would regularly wave at him as he drove around the neighborhood in stolen cars he was barely big enough to operate. On 60 Minutes he went on to recall one particular courtroom appearance that left him in doubt about where Wahlberg's future lay.
