Mark Wahlberg reveals he still has the enormous prosthetic penis he wore in 'Boogie Nights'

• Mark Wahlberg recently revealed that he still has the prosthetic penis he wore in "Boogie Nights."
• Wahlberg told Ellen DeGeneres that he keeps the sizeable prop "locked away" in a "safe."

Mark Wahlberg told Ellen DeGeneres that he still has the prosthetic penis he wore in "Boogie Nights" — but that he keeps it out of sight for fear of his children discovering it.

"It's in a safe, locked away. It's not something I can leave out," Wahlberg said of the sizeable prop on Monday's episode of "The Ellen Show."

"All of a sudden, my kids are looking for the spare phone charger, and they pull that thing out," the actor joked. "It wouldn't be a good look."

Wahlberg also told DeGeneres that he thinks his 18-year-old daughter Ella has seen the 1997 drama, but "she has not had the conversation with me yet."

"Thank god, she's sparing me," the actor said. Wahlberg shares Ella, Michael, 16, Brendan, 13, and Grace, 12 with his wife Rhea Durham, whom he married in 2009.

Wahlberg plays porn star Dirk Diggler in "Boogie Nights," which was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and also starred Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, Burt Reynolds, Don Cheadle, John C. Reilly, and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

In the film, Wahlberg's character Dirk grows from an amateur porn actor into one of the industry's most respected talents, but hits rock bottom at the height of his success. "Boogie Nights" ends with Dirk re-entering the porn business, and the last few moments of the film feature the first and only shot of Dirk's famously large penis, which has been hyped up throughout the movie.

Anderson, Reynolds, and Moore all received numerous award nominations for their work on the film, with Reynolds winning the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in 1998.
