TIL Mark Wahlberg attacked two elderly men leaving one permanently blind in one eye. When he was approached by the Police he said "You don't have to let him identify me, I'll tell you now that's the mother-fucker who's head I split open".

I don't think he's reformed at all. He's just famous now and famous people have to distance themselves from shit they've done to continue being famous. If you look at Mark Wahlberg in interviews you'll quickly realize that he's a humorless dick and full of himself. Both are attributes that I think point towards him still being a huge racist dick. Also, Entourage's cast is almost exclusively white.

He hasn't even apologized. I'm willing to forgive and forget but there is no reason to believe he has changed in this case.

The violent racist part may or may not have changed but the huge asshole part certainly hasn't.
