Mark Wahlberg Surprised Some Unsuspecting Fans By Literally Jumping On Their Hollywood Tour Bus
Through the course of his career, Mark Wahlberg has jumped on and off of his fair share of moving vehicles, but rarely have they been filled with a group of delighted fans.
On Friday, February 8, Wahlberg surprised a group of tourists cruising through Hollywood by jumping up onto their bus and shouting:
"Happy Friday everyone!!!! Let's all have a blessed weekend!"
Wahlberg posted a photo of the surprise run-in on his Instagram account. Just before the tour bus arrived, Wahlberg posted another video of himself hanging around with fans asking them about where they were from. As the other group makes its way down the street, Wahlberg warns his new friends:
"They're going to get me!"
Twitter couldn't stop chuckling at the tourist's chance encounter:

Wahlberg's support for the New England NFL team should come as no surprise to any fan of either the actor or star.
Quarterback Tom Brady, who went so far as to tell People he'd like Wahlberg to play him in a movie if the occasion every arose:
"A Boston legend, [from] Dorchester, you know, one of the just 'grind it out' kind of guys. He'd be my choice."
