Mark's Got Beef With Beckham
Mark Wahlberg lives on a quiet street in Beverly Hills - at least, he did until the Beckhams moved in!
And David Beckham is not an easy neighbor. His presence attracts a slew of paparazzi 24/7 and Wahlberg is pissed!
The actor says:
"Man, the Beckhams. It used to be so quiet on my road. Then David moves in with his family. Suddenly we've got paparazzi hanging out day and night. Now they'll follow any car that drives down the road…I'm not telling Beckham to take his family home. I'm just not sure why he came to America in the first place. Man, we don't want your soccer. There's no way Americans are going to buy the idea of 90 minutes of running around without much happening. Thanks for trying guys, but we'll stick to baseball and basketball."
He's not gonna leave in the name of America's disdain for soccer, but better luck next time!

God, he seemed cool for a while… now he seems like the same turd he was when he first appeared as Marky-Mark.
hahahahaha!!! what could be more boring than baseball????? Even curling is more exciting than baseball! And basketball? Run, dribble shoot, run dribble, foul, free throw, stop, run, stop, shoot….blah blah….BOOOORING!!!! Americans LOVE soccer, Mr. Wahlberg, it's the TRUE "football" worldwide, and people who play it are true ATHLETES, not like baseball players, LOLOL!!!! Yeah, Babe Ruth, there was a real athlete, cut abs and all!
I think he was joking. He had to be. Soccer rocks.
Agree
I kind of agree with Mark on this one. David's presence in America is completely overrated and unnecessary. But I have a feeling that Victoria is the one calling the shots and they're only staying in LA because she loves the attention.
now i love mark wahlberg even MORE. he's absolutely right.
mark is only half-way serious,he does this all the time in interviews.he makes a point but in a joking manner.and soccer is lame!
Again I say….why is this foreign soccer player a celebrity on an American gossip site????
Totally agree with Mark on this one. Beckham can go the hell home and take his "poser" wife with him. I'm tired of all these foreign fuckers coming over here trying to seek fame and fortune. Stay the hell across the water!!!
Mark should get lost… I remember not so long ago when the press would hang around his mothers house in Dorchester night and day and no one said a word… He ought to remember where he came from and how he interupted peoples lives…
What an idiot! Soccer has much more going on than the BORING baseball. I can't even watch this game because NOTHING happens. The whole world enjoy playing and watching soccer, so is this stupid ass talking about? Yes, Americans want to catch up with the rest of the world and enjoy the game as well. You go away, Mark, piece of shit! And leave The Beckhams alone, and here in their Beverly Hills home.
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR UGLY ASS FAMILY MARK!
Marky Mark is a fucking douchebag who can't act for toffee.
I think I can decide for myself if I want to enjoy soccer. And, I do. I also like cricket and rugby. And, I grew up in NC and am a second generation American. Perhaps if Mark has a beef, he could have taken it up with Beckham personally or through an association vs. in the media?
Dear David Beckham, et all, you're welcome to bring your family to Chicago. We like soccer here. Unfortunately, we also like snow. And paparazzi aren't a problem. Maybe they hate the snow?
Life is change. You either handle it gracefully, or you don't.
Not sure why you had to get all personal about a complaint about the paparazzi?
You come off sounding like the ignorant kid out of Boston's projects you are, with your xenophobia and rejection of the attempts to bring soccer/football, the most popular sport in the world, to America.
Could it be jealousy the paps are not out there for you? Or are you cranky you have been ignored this awards season for your role in the Lovely Bones? Frankly the Departed, Three Kings, and Boggie Nights were the only films of consequence you were in.
sorry but in latin america FUTBOL is a religion and they have the most crazy fans unlike basketball or baseball…..so shut the fuck up marky mark.
His comments about soccer show just how ignorant he is.
Way to make yourself look like another dumb American, thanks for making us look bad
I wish they would leave too and I don't even live there! Go back to England!
I'm not a soccer fan but shit Wahlberg way to go insulting 80% of the world's sports fans!I hope next year ladyy GooGoo and lezlo move into his hood.Then he'll really have somethimng to bitch about!
Hey mark,say hi to your mother for me
as opposed the baseball (rounders played by grown men with protective gear) and your 'football' (rugby with protective gear and stupid words being shouted every 5 seconds), suuuure its us with the crap taste in sport. at least ours are played globally. in your 'world series' about 3 countries compete
Marky mark is absolutely right. Love him even more now. He was awesome is The Departed, one of the best movies ever. David and his anorexic skeleton of a fame whore wife should take the hell off back to the UK.
MARKY MARK AND THE FUNKY BUNCH CAN KNOCK THE BECKHAMS FOR BRINGING CHAOS TO HIS STREET , HOWEVER IT IS NOT HIS PLACE TO PUT DOWN FOOTBALL (YES THAT IS HOW SOCCER IS KNOWN WORLDWIDE, OUTSIDE OF THE US)…MORE PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET APPRECIATE, LOVE AND ENJOY SOCCER THAN ANY OTHER GLOBAL SPORT..IT IS UNIVERSAL..NO ONE OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA LIKES OR WATCHES AMERICAN FOOTBALL WHICH IS THE DUMBEST SAVAGE "SPORT" INVENTED BY MAN…"MONDAY NIGHT football" THAT !!!
He's such a fucking dumbass.
sounds like he's a little jealous that they paps are following him around anymore.
THANK YOU, Mark. Well said. Beckham is fun to look at, but, soccer is a snorefest.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT? YES HE'S RIGHT ABOUT AMERICA NOT WANTING SOCCER BECAUSE SOCCER IS NOT POPULAR IN AMERICA BUT SOCCER IS PRETTY MUCH POPULAR ALL OVER EUROPE AND SOUTH AMERICA SO HE NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP SAYING "RUNNING AROUND WITHOUT MUCH HAPPENING" OKAY WELL I DONT KNOW HOW SOCCER IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN BASKETBALL EVEN THOUGH SOCCERS ALL ABOUT THE FEET AND BASKETBALLS ALL ABOUT THE HANDS ,AND MAYBE HE MOVED TO AMERICA BECAUSE HE WANTED TO .MARK NEEDS TO REMOVE THAT STICK UP HIS ASS HE'S ALWAYS IN A BAD MOOD AND COMPLAINING ABOUT STUFF HE CAN CUT THE "IM BADASS" ATTITUDE NOW HE'S NO LONGER A SHITTY RAPPER ANYMORE.
btw sorry for the caps guys
LOL marky mark is sooo right!! brutally honest but sooo true.
Marky Mark is running up and down the street even now begging the paparazzi to take his picture and shouting - I'm putting the band back together; me & the Funky Bunch will be on Perez's next tour!
I hate watching any sports but I have to say baseball is the most boring sport in the world….truly sucks.
i hope he doesn't think football is any different? it's basically the same damn thing! geez..
Lol i love Mark Walhberg, one of my favorite actors. Thu he can say all he wants about da Beckhams but not bout soccer. Its da most famous and played sport in da world in case he doesnt know dat. I do agree with him on one point, i love Beckham and am one of his fans dat agree dat he shoudnt have gone to LA Galaxy, he just doesnt play da way he played in Europe.
WTF?! UM soccer is one of the biggest sports in the world, Mark could STFU.
Are you kidding me? Did he really say this? Mark doesn't speak for all American's the Beckham's are more then welcomed in America. How did you think he would feel if English people told him he wasn't welcome in the UK?
Fuck you Mark Wahlberg. Attention Whore.
Wahlberg is always such a hard ass. My kids played soccer and I'm as American as UR, Wahlberg! So, go back to Beantown (love those Red Sox) and leave Beverly Hills to the big boyz.
cute
don't forget FOOTBALL!

is mark just trying to make the paps aware that he lives on the same street?
Wally youre a loser! You can never accomplish what David Beckham has in this lifetime. AND youre wrong! Americans love soccer YOU just dont cause your pea sized brain can comprehend the sport!!
Gosh, shut up Duche-berg Marky Mark .
i agree with Mark football is sooooooooo boring
the beckhams are so boring too
david is an old talentless player
posh has a PIGY nose
her nose increadbly nasty
yuk
Uh is he dumb, has he ever even watch a soccer game? It's not the biggest sport in the WORLD for nothing!
Wow i used to really like mark walhberg but this quote is very small/closed minded and ignorant. Its funny how soccer is loved worldwide by tons of different countries from france, to brazil, to argentina to england to italy and has a WORLD cup. Yet baseball and basketball and american football is only big IN AMERICA.
He sounds like a grumpy old man,. its not davids fault he gets mauled by paparazzi 24/7 im sure paparazzi follow wahlberg too. Get over it old you grumpy old man!!!
lol this seems like a false statement to me.
Doubt wahlberg said this
wahlberg's just a jealous asshole
Wow… Marky has man-jealousy. He's just bitter he's not in underwear ads anymore.
He's obviously never watched "soccer"
What a douche bag. Everytime I see this guy in an interview, he dissapoints me. Arrogance.
VICTORA IS THE UGLIST WOMAN IN THE UNIVERSE
UGLY PIGY NOSE
UGLY TEETH
UGLY SKINNY BODY
NEVER SMILE !! YUK
SHE'S TOO SNOBY AND PRETENDING THAT SHE'S PRINCESS DIANA !!!!!
What a dumb ass Walberg is. Small minded Americans like him hate soccer because they don't understand it and don't want to try. also, americans like being number one in everything we do. We suck at soccer so our excuse is to dismiss it instead. And yes, I am an American.Just calling it like I see it.
wtf three nipple freak, soccer rules!!!! you're just hating because you'll never be as hot as David.
VICTORA IS THE UGLIST WOMAN IN THE UNIVERSE

What, no paps for Mark? (sound of crickets)
jew fight jew fight jew fight!!
I like Mark Wahlberg but how big of an ass can he be?
so suck on that Marky Mark! .I don't even like David Beckham as a soccer player i think he's hot but i don't think he's the best soccer player but this comment really gets me mad how on earth is it David's fault that he lives close to Mark? I'm sure David does not give a damn who he lives close to.I don't even see paparazzi going after Mark Wahlberg like they go after David Beckham .Mark should just get over himself .
Soccer is the most popular sport in the whole world its popular in america too not very popular ,but popular. So he should shut up because he does not speak for all the Americans.These american sports he speaks of are certainley not as popular all over the world as they are in America so he does not know what he's talking about.Alot of people including myself are gonna be enjoying the soccer games in the summer and seeing who's gonna win the world cup
What an idiot! He's just perpetuating the myth that America is full of xenophobic people.
He needs to get over himself, in fact i hope he runs into a few football fans in the near future. . .
shame-seems like mark forgot where he came from. all that hard work to just turn around forget your roots. wondering how, with all the crap he's been producing lately(yes, i mean ENTOURAGE), can he still afford to live in the beckham's neighborhood. unless david & victoria are slumming it? either way-is he REALLY complaining? joke or not i say WTF? UNGRATEFUL!
I used to love Mark Walhberg, but that ignorant comment about soccer is ridiculous. Any one with a brain knows that soccer is the most popular sport in the world. Baseball is one of the lamest sports, there is absolutely no talent in hitting a ball hard. I've been to 3 cardinals games in St. louis, and every single one was boring. Not to mention nobody was paying attention at all. Soccer fans cannot keep their eyes off the game. NICE TRY MARK!
Now, i can understand his problem with the beckhams living close to him. But i think he might just be jealous of all the attention they get. Seriously , if you dont want papz on your street, dont live in LA.
Well, Victoria has courted the media in the past for a living, and now the paps are staying long past closing time. I'm sure the Beckhams don't like it for their kids, either. Aren't there local laws concerning stalking in streets around private residences? Maybe they should get some. It's long overdue, imho.
He must not watch much soccer. It is an exciting sport and much more fun to watch then baseball or football. The athletes are in much better shape then ours and do not need breaks every 5 minutes for a commercial.. They do not call it the beautiful game for nothing nor is it the most popular sport in the world because it is boring.
"90 minutes of running around without much happening."
…..hmm sounds like every Mark Whalberg movie ever made
"90 minutes of running around without much happening."

Yes, Mark Wahlberg, because he moved there just to piss off and annoy you with the paparazzi. Really? When me moved he didn't ask the Paps to move with him asshole. And is it just me or did that sound like that racist redneck that goes "Go back to where you came from boy, we don't like your kind around here."?Shut up Marky Mark.
Re: Wrenn – "I'm tired of all these foreign fuckers coming over here trying to seek fame and fortune" Like your ancestors did all those years ago…? You don't own your country. Besides, the Beckhams already had 'fame and fortune' back home, not the reason they came…
Marky-mark is a latent 'Mo !
Fuck you Walhberg! I love soccer!!! Soccer is the most popular in the world!! Baseball, basketball and NFL mean NOTHING outside the U.S…. Soccer all way way!!!

MARKY MARK!!!
Re: tigrrrlilly – Why would you agree with Mark. The fact that the US is the only country that does not love football says a lot and maybe people like you should try and open their mind to something other than the usual American 'deal'.
The FIFA WORLD CUP is the most watched television event in the world! More watched than the Super Bowl or the Summer Olympics.
that little fucker is jealous because the paparazzi don't give a shit about his stupid existence.
Re: Wrenn – I suppose it's not fucking Mark or any of you who will tell people where to live. Fuck you!
Shut the fuck up, Marky Mark!!!
sure, soccer/football is the biggest sport in the world , but in America it simply does not stand a chance . I'm a canuck myself , but I know a guy from Atlanta who assured me all that matters in the US is the NFL and the NBA. He really can't understand my country's obsession with hockey lol
Is someone hating because they're a Zlister???? Sounds like it, and oh, just a pin poing, Soccer is an INTERNATIONAL/WORLD WIDE sport!
Thank you, now shut up!
aww dont be soo angry marky-mark! and fyi, more ppl would rather watch David Becham picking his nose for 90 minutes than watching your poor excuse at acting, or should i say imitating the sun in your eye look for 90 minutes. Dont be a hater because David gets more for his Armani underwear ads then you ever got for your Calvin Klein's– and at least he is still in shape and doesnt have a receding hairline. Someone give monkeyface Marky-mark a banana:)
LOL I like football…er, sorry, soccer….too, but can't we handle a little taking the piss here?
Geez.
And tell the stupid paps to learn what kind of cars the BeckHAMS drive.
Does Mark forget football, hockey, & that America does love soccer? Just because he grew up in New England where the only sports loved involve baseball and basketball doesn't give him the right to decide what's best for America.
AMERICANS DONT HATE SOCCER! Screw baseball and basketball. Mark, does anyone even care about you anymore? You are just jealous of all the paps around their home.
SOCCER SOCCER SOCCER SOCCER SOCCER!! Best sport in the world!
Red…..neck?
If Mark doesn't like soccer, that must mean no one else likes soccer. Glad to know he is sitting in the centre of the universe. Lol.
WTF. Soccer takes a lot more stamina than baseball, and a lot more happens than in basketball. Why didn't he use football as his example? Hundreds of people have died simply WATCHING soccer. Mark seems to be jealous about not being invited to the party, or getting as much press.
Sounds like jealousy to me.
omqq wtf lol..americans love soccer:)im half white and half salvadorian(el salvador, a country in central america not mexico!!)and we love soccer!!Beckham rules, and thats why he plays in the US..football is a bunch of fat guys pushin each other, basketball run dribble shot, baseball hit a ball&run..wow how exciting..ii
Wow - you've been downgraded Mark. =/ Not a really a Beckham fan, but don't knock soccer.
Baseball is boring as hell, so is Basketball!! Soccer, now that is fun and technically its the most popular sport on EARTH!!!!!! The World Cup is watched by more people in more countries than any other sporting event EVER!!!!!!! I like Mark Wahlberg but that is just ignorant, it sucks that his street is busier now, Im sure that really sux but ripping on the sport I love is just lame!!!!!!!!!!!
HA…Wow! This definitely represents Mark Wahlberg's true colors!! He's a washed up actor STILL trying to have a big box office hit so he decides to pick on poor lil Becks! I for one am SUCH a big fan of REAL football(SOCCER for the U.S. terms) because it's been around ALOT longer than basketball AND baseball and is a real sport based on athletics…sure soccer stars make ALOT of money but SOOOO does all the other sports stars..in CRAZY amounts I might add so if I were Mark Wahlberg…I'd switch professions so he can stay on that street!
oh lord watch out Becks Walberg don't play!!!!
Sorry, but Baseball takes 1st prize in the Boring Awards. Golf is already in the Boring Hall of Shame…
"There's no way Americans are going to buy the idea of 90 minutes of running around without much happening." Mark Wahlberg stated when asked about how he felt about David Beckham moving into his area,
Well if Americans can buy an hour long show of guys douching around and not doing anything then they may just as well accept soccer, isnt that right Mark?

wtf ever. FOOTBALL is an awesome sport and marky mark should shove it. im sure david beckham didnt ask the paparazzi to come to his house 24/7
mark, come on. i love you and all that, but really? football (not soccer) is loved in the whole world and the fact that americans can't get over the fact that noone in the world (apart from the americans) really cares about american football and baseball isn't beckham's fault. i wonder if mark wahlberg's ever watched football because it's definitely not just 90 minutes of running around. come on, man. i really like you as an actor but you got this one wrong.
although paparazzis must be annoying.
I HATE BECKS. HE IS A TERRIBLE FOOTBALLER AND IF POSH WANTED TO GET AN ANIMAL THAT RESEMBLES HIM ON THE FIELD DON'T GET A PIT BULL. GET A FUCKING PARROT. BECAUSE IT CAN'T PLAY SOCCER BUT IT STILL CAN SKQUAK ABOUT IRRELEVANT SHIT ALL DAY
That's quite alright, Americans SUCK at soccer anyways, so they better stay out of it before they embarass themselves even more. Nobody really wants them at the World Cup anyway, they're not part of the soccer family. So yeah, better stick to your Baseball and American "Football" because if Americans didn't play them, both would be dead sports.
I usually like Mark Wahlberg but this comment just shows his ignorance. I would have expected a little more from somebody who has travelled the world…
Re: Independent Thinker – Because he's one of the highest paid athletes in the world… and because he's married to a former Spice Girl. So…
WOOOOW!!! Mark is saying what were all thinking! I love Mark now! DEPORTATION anyone?
I would hate paparazzi swarming around all the time.
Can't blame Mark for being upset about their constant intrusion.
why does mark wahlberg open his mouth?
