“He said he didn’t do photos but he was really polite and shook my hand.”
“He went towards the ring side so I just followed him in there and that was where I met loads of people and took a selfie with Mark Wahlberg. He was really nice and did a shout out on my phone.”

“He said it was okay to walk along with him, but he had to go do an interview right then.
