It took Donnie 2 weeks to first ask his now wife Jenny out on a date. His mom waited tables for years and he likes to treat these waitresses like queens. He really is the selfie king! Where did he do this? They kept up rapping, Wahlberg says, "not because we thought we'd be rap or dance stars someday, but just because it was really fun and we loved the girls screaming for us at parties.
In , at the age of 15, Donnie's friends persuaded him to audition for well-known music producer Maurice Starr. After watching hundreds of auditions, Starr was amazed by Wahlberg's combination of singing, dancing and rapping talent, and immediately enlisted him to form the centerpiece of the new group.
Wahlberg quickly recruited brother Mark and Danny Wood, as well as another friend, Jordan Knight, and Knight's older brother, Jonathan. However, unhappy with the band's pop-friendly artistic direction, Mark soon left the group and was replaced by another friend, Jaime Kelly.
Starr didn't like Kelly's style, however, and soon replaced him with his own recruit, Joey McIntyre, to form the group's definitive lineup. They eventually decided to call themselves New Kids on the Block, a name taken from one of Donnie's rap lyrics. New Kids on the Block signed with Columbia Records and released their self-titled debut album in The group's first single, "Be My Girl," received almost no airplay outside of Boston, and album sales were abysmal.
With their first album a failure, the band returned to the studio with Starr, and two years later released a second album, Hangin' Tough. After a slow start, during which it appeared that the new album would go as unnoticed as its predecessor, the album's lead single, "Please Don't Go Girl," began receiving significant airplay — at first in Boston only, and then nationally. By late , Hangin' Tough was the No.
After a successful holiday album in , New Kids on the Block released a third full studio album, Step by Step , which also reached No. After spending several years out of the limelight, in , the group shortened its name to NKOTB, parted ways with Starr, and released a new album, Face the Music , featuring a harder and more aggressive sound. Despite a fairly positive critical reception, the album performed poorly; since the band's heyday, musical tastes had shifted toward harder-edged grunge rock and gangster acts, and NKOTB's bubble-gum image proved a tough sell.
Later in , the group parted ways. Instead of pursuing a solo music career, Donnie decided to follow in the footsteps of his younger brother, Mark, by trying his hand at acting. At first, he landed only bit parts as drug dealers or other tough-guy types in films such as Ransom and Black Circle Boys , but Wahlberg really gained notice as an actor in with an astonishing performance as the deranged ex-patient who threatens Bruce Willis in the acclaimed film The Sixth Sense. Wahlberg lost 43 pounds for the role, and audiences were shocked to discover that the emaciated, hysterical figure was the same clean-cut Donnie Wahlberg from New Kids on the Block.
In Donnie rejoined former members of New Kids on the Block for a reunion album, The Block , which — like the group's previous projects — reached No. The band backed the album with a world tour, and though they weren't nearly as popular as they had been two decades before, New Kids on the Block again achieved success by reconnecting with their long-lost diehard fans. Highlighting the Bostonian family's hamburger joint in Hingham, Massachusetts, Wahlburgers — where Paul serves as head chef — and shedding light on the siblings' relationships and personalities, the show quickly garnered acclaim from both fans and critics, earning praise for being unlike anything any of the Wahlberg boys had done previously.
