His support for the New England Patriots is legendary.

So there was absolutely no doubt that Mark Wahlberg would move heaven and earth to see his team play the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on Sunday.

The actor-producer, who hails from Boston, was invited onto the field before the vital game. And he took his two boys, Michael, 10, and eight-year-old Brendan, with him.
