COOPER CITY, Fla. – Mark Wahlberg spent part of his Friday morning at a Publix Liquors in Cooper City to promote his new tequila brand Flecha Azul and connect with some of his longtime fans.
The signing was open to the public where hundreds of fans gathered to meet the movie star.
Wahlberg pulled up in front of the Publix in a light blue Ford Bronco and greeted hundreds of screaming fans.
According to event organizers, Wahlberg signed a limited number of Flecha Azul Tequila bottles for fans and all proceeds will be donated to the people affected by this month’s wildfires in Hawaii.
Fans had the opportunity to take pictures and video with Wahlberg and have a quick chat.
Local 10 News spoke with one attendee that had Wahlberg record his own personal voicemail on his cellphone.
Wahlberg shares the premium tequila spotlight with co-founders Aron Marquez, of Wildcat Oil Tools, and first-generation Mexican-American pro golfer Abraham Ancer.
Wahlberg also poured his brand of tequila at Rocco’s Tacos in Delray Beach from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a happy hour fundraiser.
Local 10 News was at Rocco’s Tacos where hundreds of fans were waiting to see Wahlberg or as some called “a childhood hero.”
“I’m so pumped to be here. I grew up in Boston and have been a fan since I was a wee kid. He’s my person,” said one attendee.
