Mark Wahlberg left Super Bowl LI early because son kept dropping F-bombs

Patriots superfan Mark Wahlberg raised some eyebrows when he was caught leaving Super Bowl LI before New England's epic comeback, and now we know why.

Wahlberg, who was watching the game in a luxury suite at NRG Stadium, initially blamed his early exit on 8-year-old son Brendan feeling ill. But in an interview with Stephen Rodrick of Men's Health, Wahlberg revealed that wasn't entirely true.

"He was spitting out F-bombs and going crazy. It was bad," Wahlberg said. "He was lying down on the carpet. He was very upset."

When asked if Brendan learned a valuable lesson from the experience, Wahlberg laughed. "Heck no. He's a vicious sore loser. He wants the ball. He hates when his brother gets it. When he doesn't get the ball, he goes crazy. He throws rocks."
