Mark Wahlberg visited Clemson University to see his daughter Ella and worked out with the football team at 4 a.m.
He bartended at a college party, serving tequila, at a popular spot called The Roar
Wahlberg joked that his daughter tolerated his presence because of the free tequila he provided at the event
When Mark Wahlberg visited his daughter in college, he stepped behind the bar.
The actor and dad of four, 54, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, April 13, and spoke about his recent visit to Clemson University in South Carolina to see his 22-year-old daughter, Ella.
"It’s a lot of fun. I’ve been able to work out with the football team at Clemson a couple of times. Dabo, who’s the coach, Dabo Swinney and his brother Tracy are very kind," Walberg shared. "They let me go in there at 4 o’clock in the morning, [and] work out. The team’s in there early, working out. And the energy in there is absolutely crazy."

After working out early in the morning, Wahlberg then attended a college party with his daughter.
"I was bartending at Roar. Selling Flecha’s little tequila," said Wahlberg, who is an investor in the alcohol brand. "We had an event there, and my daughter had me behind the bar working at the big party spot called The Roar.”

When Kimmel asked if Wahlberg's daughter was embarrassed to be partying with her dad, the actor shared that she wasn't for one particular reason.
“It depends. I could be very embarrassing at times, but I think it was free tequila that night, so they tolerated me," he joked. "They were actually appreciative."
Wahlberg shares his kids, Ella, Michael, 19, Brendan, 17, and Grace, 15, with his wife of 16 years, Rhea Durham.
Back in September, the actor was seen in a photo shared to his wife Rhea's Instagram as he was joined by his family on set. Wahlberg could be seen sitting down at a desk, which seemed to be in a classroom.
Rhea smiled and placed a hand on her husband's shoulder, while their daughter Grace stood on one side of her. On the other side, the couple's sons, Michael and Brendan, posed behind their dad. Michael also had his arm around his girlfriend.
"On set 🎥🎞️ @markwahlberg," Rhea simply captioned the shot.
