Of all the people you could piss off by letting an Giant Octopus suction onto their son, Mark Wahlberg would be my last choice.
That’s exactly what happened during a visit to a San Diego aquarium recently for Mark , his wife Rhea Durham, and their four kids.
Mark tells the story on David Letterman:
“We have a tour guide so she’s like, ‘You have a special treat today, we’ll be able to take you behind the tank and you’ll be able to see the octopus…’ So this women pulls out this gigantic octopus, the thing latches on to my son’s arm. It’s got my wife, (it’s) wrapped completely around the lady, and another guy’s just standing there. They can’t get this octopus off. My son is freaking out but no sound is coming out of his mouth. So finally we rip the thing off of him. He’s got all these suction marks that look like about 30 little hickeys (bruises). The lady can’t get out, she’s yelling for help… He (the aquarium manager) said it’s never been that aggressive.”
Mark told Dave he’s even considering filing a suit over the matter!
: “We haven’t filed yet but if you could recommend a good lawyer… Once the woman who handles the octopus starts freaking out I knew there was a problem. She couldn’t even get away from the thing. She had to have help come running in. Once I got my kid out of there I said, ‘Let’s go!’ I left the lady there. That’s her problem.”
