Wahlberg disgusted by bombings

Boston native speaks out in aftermath of attack that killed three

NEW YORK — Mark Wahlberg was in a sombre mood at the New York premiere of his new film, Pain and Gain — still grappling with the tragedy that had struck his hometown of Boston.

On Monday afternoon, two bombs had gone off near the finish line at the Boston Marathon. Three people were killed and more than 170 were injured.

“I really didn’t even want to come tonight. I hadn’t really heard much — I spoke to my mom, and most of my family seems to be OK,” Wahlberg said Monday night. “It’s such a big event, there’s so many people there. It’s horrible, man. It’s ( expletive) disgusting, man. I just — I’m very upset.”

BOSTON- BORN ACTOR

“You try to put everything in God’s hands and whatever happens here is out of our control and there’s a bigger picture. But it’s still obviously upsetting,” the 41- year old actor added on the red carpet before going into the premiere hosted by The Cinema Society.

New York rapper 50 Cent was a guest at the premiere and before going inside, he expressed his dismay.

“Why is it even happening? But there’s no explanation. We don’t even know what happened ( yet),” he said.

“When you see kids involved in it, I can’t write it off. I can’t say maybe ( it was) karma — that is why the kid was where he was.”

An eight- year- old boy was among those killed in Boston.

But the rapper said the tragedy doesn’t make him feel less safe than usual.

“If anyone is feeling that way, they have to allow themselves to accept the reality that we don’t have control of our fate,” 50 Cent said.

Authorities still don’t know who is responsible for the attack.

Some 23,000 runners took part in the race.
