e's the most successful of his seven siblings, but he's not the favorite.
Mark Wahlberg made that admission when he stopped by Live With Kelly & Michael on Wednesday to promote his new film Lone Survivor.

The hosts assumed there had been some tiff, but the Two Guns star said, 'It's been like that since day one.'

He didn't follow up with an explanation but did appear hurt.
In addition to New Kids On The Block singer Donnie (who's dating Jenny McCarthy), Mark has four other brothers: Robert, Arthur, Paul and Jim. He also has two sisters Michelle and Tracey. Then there are his three half siblings: Scott, Buddy and Donna.

Family matter: The actor - seen here with mother Alma Elaine in 1999 - said he's not talking to his mom

Kelly, clearly feeling bad for the star, then offered an explanation. 'It's because you're doing well,' she began.
'The mother always likes the one whose doing least well the most.'
Mark genuinely looked interested in the advice and meekly said, 'Oh that's it, I gotta do that.'
Though Mark lives in LA, thousands of miles from his family in Boston, he has been traveling back to his native city to work on his new reality show Wahlburgers - centered on a burger joint - with some of his brothers.

Disbelief: Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan were surprised by the 42-year-old's admission

The superstar - who has four children with model wife Rhea Durham - discussed how his November 23 outing to Disneyland in LA with was not that relaxing.
'I hurt my neck in Hong Kong, it's about six weeks that I've been nursing this neck,' he started.
'The first ride we went on was Pirates Of The Caribbean and I'm on it and then we smashed into the boat ahead of us.'
The jostle was painful for his neck so he didn't go on another ride.
'The guide was like, go on the Tea Cups, and I was like it's not going to happen,' he added.

As far as the Entourage movie, the Boston native said, 'It's happening... we finally got everybody on the same page, it's exiting.
'People have been dying to see this as a movie,' he added. 'We start shooting in January and resume in April. We will probably be out Thanksgiving next year.'
As for his new film, Lone Survivor, Mark said it was one of his most important movies to date.
'You certainly feel a huge amount of responsibility and pressure,' he said about bringing a Navy Seal's story to life.
'Every time you talk about a movie it is as about your experience as an actor, but this was about those guys,' he added.
'When people want to talk about how hard we trained, it's nothing compared to what they do. We got to go back to a nice hotel room and sleep, they don't.'
