Mark Wahlberg to be honoured with Generation Award at upcoming MTV Movie Awards

Ted actor Mark Wahlberg is set to have a reunion with his Entourage crew as he will be presented the Generation Award at this year’s MTV Movie Awards. This onstage appearance has been organised just one year before the big screen release of Entourage movie which is slated to open during the summer of 2015.

Stephen Friedman, President of MTV, said in a statement, “Mark Wahlberg is the definition of a modern-day Renaissance Man: from ‘Dirk Diggler’ to ‘The Departed,’ ‘The Basketball Diaries’ to ‘Ted,’ ‘Entourage’ to ‘The Fighter,’ in front of the camera and behind – he’s done it all and he’s always memorable.” He added further, “Mark has captivated the MTV audience for over 20 years, and for this rare feat, we’re proud to recognize him with this year’s Generation Award.” This award is considered as the most coveted award of MTV. Wahlberg will join the league of previous awardees like Jamie Foxx, Johnny Depp, Reese Witherspoon, Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Sandra Bullock, Mike Myers, Tom Cruise and Jim Carrey. The MTV Movie Awards will be broadcast live from Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre on April 13.
