Mark Wahlberg has MTV Awards audience in hystericsMark Wahlberg joked he had been given the "You're-too-f***ing-old-to-come-back award" at last night's MTV Movie Awards in an expletive-filled acceptance speech.

Mark Wahlberg joked he was given the "You're-too-f***ing-old-to-come-back award" at the MTV Movie Awards.

The Ted actor had the audience at Los Angeles' Nokia theatre in hysterics as he delivered a curse-driven acceptance speech for the honorary MTV Generation Award from Entourage stars Adrien Grenier, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara.

He said: "I know what this really means...this is the 'You're-too-f***ing-old-to-come-back' award.

"This is not the Channing-Tatum-you're-dancing-around-chicks-want-you award. This is the you're-f***ing-done award. But look, it was a great run."

The 42-year-old actor, who was jailed for assault as a teenager following a string of arrests, went on to thank people he had worked with in the past and said he had gone from "literally being incarcerated to having a one-hit rap career to having an underwear model career."


The Lone Survivor star, who has children Ella, 10, Michael, seven, Brendan, five and Grace, four, with model wife Rhea Durham, then jokingly confronted an audience member.

He said: "Hey, shut the f**k up, I've gotta make 'Ted 2' and get my money right."

Wahlberg said he felt "lucky" in both his personal and professional life, with the Entourage film scheduled for release next year, a role in Transformers: Age Of Distinction and to be "married to this former supermodel, Victoria's Secret model..."

He added: "I don't know how the f**k that happened."
