The Block goes down under.

A 1992 Australian news feature on the fab five, including an interview with Donnie and Danny. When asked when the New Kids would grow up, Donnie responded, "I could be 40 and little girls could still love me." The then 23-year-old pop idol couldn't have realized how prophetic his off-the-cuff remark was.
You are 40, Mr. Wahlberg. And this little boy still loves you very much.
