While Mark Wahlberg stars alongside a dog, Ukai, in Arthur the King, but he's allergic to canines.
In an interview with People, Wahlberg first talked about Ukai's performance. Even as a dog, he's a pro.
“You got to accept the fact that the dog's going to show you up a little bit,” he said. “He was very good at what he does.”
He then revealed that he's allergic to dogs. “I'm allergic to dogs and I have four of them,” Wahlberg. “I'm covered in dog hair right now.”
Luckily, his daughter Grace helps out a lot with the dogs. Wahlberg joked that she's the “authority figure” of the household.
“She's good with animals. She's the authority figure in the house,” he said.
