Before I begin with my story, you have to check out this video.
New Kids on the Block (also known as NKOTB) are an award-winning American pop group that enjoyed success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They won two American Music Awards in 1990 for Favorite Pop/Rock Band, Duo, or Group and Favorite Pop/Rock Album for Hangin' Tough. Assembled in Boston in 1984 by producer Maurice Starr, the members consisted of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. The group went on to sell over 70 million albums worldwide,[1] generated hundreds of millions of dollars in concert revenues, and paved the way for acts like Backstreet Boys, Take That and *NSYNC. After having broken up in 1994, they reunited in 2008, and are now planning a new album and an international concert tour in the fall. |
Apparently, this boy band goes way back, even before BSB, and NSYNC, and paved the way for those groups.
There is more. See that "almost bold" guy in the middle of the dance formation? Ya, don't you think he looks (way too old to be in anything close to a "boy" band?) kinda familiar with a certain sexiness?
The sexiness kinda resembles....Mark Wahlberg?!
Ya, he is Donnie Wahlberg, the younger brother of Mark Wahlberg! Actually, Mark was a member of the "New kid on the block" back when the band first came out (but left pretty quickly)
And...Donnie Wahlberg had also starred in a couple movies in the past few years, but it's almost impossible to guess which ones!
First, he was the cop in Saw series. Ok, he looks pretty much the same as he was in the movie, so that wasn't so hard.
But he was also the disturbed patient that killed Bruce Willis in the movie "the Sixth Sense", and the alien "Duddits" in Stephen King's novel movie "The dreamcatcher". Yes, he was playing both those crazy looking characters!
This is Duddits from the movie "Dreamcatcher"
Patient that killed Bruce Willis in "the Sixth Sense".
I only researched on Donnie Wahlberg (cuz Mark Wahlberg is hot of course), but I am sure the rest of the band has interesting past as well.
Okay, New kids on the block, I was ignorant to their ground-breaking past, and I have to say I am really sorry about bad-mouthing this "fully-grown" man band. This teaches me, yet another time, not to judge a book by its cover. I might not like their music very much, but I certainly respect this group a lot more now.
