"Ted" star Mark Wahlberg dishes on the mischievous antics of Ted, his teddy bear co-star
- 12 years ago
The "Ted" premiere was met with screaming fans on Thursday (June 21) in Los Angeles, with actors lining up to talk about the film's star, a degenerate teddy bear.
Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane were seen on the red carpet laughing, presumably about the potty-mouthed stuffed animal. Wahlberg explained why his furry friend was still lovable despite his wild lifestyle.
SOUNDBITE Mark Wahlberg saying (English):
"Despite the fact that he's got the most foul mouth you've ever seen and he's a bad influence, he's also got a heart that's very sweet and very kind and very funny."
The R-rated comedy centers on a boy whose Christmas wish is fulfilled after his teddy bear comes to life. But that dream turns into a nightmare as they grow up. Wahlberg's character faces problems when his girlfriend, played by Mila Kunis, has issues with Ted's nefarious ways.
The stuffed bear is played by MacFarlane in a motion-capture suit.
"Ted" hits theaters June 29.
