"The Departed" star Mark Wahlberg says he was a huge fan of reality TV series 'Jersey Shore', but did not want his kids to find out.

The 41-year-old actor used to secretly watch the now cancelled MTV show, reported Contactmusic. The actor has four children; Ella, nine, Michael, seven, Brendan, four and three-year-old Grace.

"I enjoyed watching 'Jersey Shore' when my kids weren't around, it's one of those things you can't turn off," Wahlberg said.
