Mark Wahlberg has opened up about his previous convictions and his current request for a pardon from Massachusetts, for an assault he committed as a teen.

The actor was at the New York premiere of his latest film, The Gambler, and spoke about his responsibility as a role model.

“I've been working very hard to correct a lot of mistakes,” the former rapper told reporters on the red carpet. “I've worked really hard to be a positive influence for kids growing up in communities like mine who don't really have a chance.”

The 43-year-old defended himself from critics, stating his celebrity status was not a factor in his decision: "In no way shape or form was I trying to use my celebrity or success to say, 'Well, I feel entitled to get this because of the fame and fortune.'"

The Gambler is due in cinemas on January 23.
