Mark Wahlberg doesn't consider himself a sex symbol.

The Oscar nominated actor - who played a porn star in 'Boogie Nights' and used to strip to his underpants when he was a pop star - is always surprised by the attention he receives from his female fans.

Mark told BANG Showbiz: "It's ridiculous that people call me a sex symbol. I don't feel like that at all.

"My daughter would get a kick out of it - she'd find it very funny. "I'll take it though. I'm very humble. But it's certainly not the way I feel."

The 35-year-old star, who has a three-year-old daughter Ella and a 12-month-old son Michael with his girlfriend Rhea Durham - also insists fatherhood has changed him for the better.

Mark - who says he has been arrested more than "20 times" and has experimented with a variety of drugs - said: "Fatherhood has changed me in every way shape or form, and all for the best."
