12 celebrities with shocking ties to organized crime (With Pictures)

9. Mark Wahlberg – Green Blooded Gang Violence

Mark Wahlberg‘s movies have made a lot of money, with the Ted series and Transformers Age of Extinction being recent box office hits. Even though the quality of those films could be debated, Wahlberg is a legit movie star. But before acting, modeling, and rapping, Wahlberg made some bad choices in his life. He was involved in organized crime as a teenager growing up in Dorchester, Massachusetts and committed a number of crimes involving drug trafficking and theft. The worst crime by far was severely assaulting a man, which led to him spending over a month in jail. Wahlberg was able to turn his life around and leave the gang life behind, a decision that benefited him and his entire family.
