Mark and his 53-year-old wife, Sunrise Coigney, are also parents to daughters Bella, 21, and 18-year-old Odette.
In January, the Crime 101 alum said he would not rule out swapping his illustrious acting career for “doing something good” for millions of Americans as a politician.
Mark told Us Weekly: “It isn’t on my game card right now, but who knows. I mean, you never say never.
“I mean, I spent a lot of time in that world, and acting – it’s for the people. So, I love the people, and politicians could be doing something good for the people.”
He then lauded New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, who ran as a Democratic Socialist and made history during his swearing-in ceremony on January 1 when he became the first prominent US politician to take the oath on a Quran.
“Seeing Mamdani’s win in New York has really excited me about what’s possible in the United States right now.”
The Mickey 17 cast member – who has been a fierce critic of 80-year-old US President Donald Trump – believes the country needs a new political direction that serves working people, as the Democratic and Republican parties have “become completely captured by corporations”.
Mark said: “It’s bulls***. And the people in America are suffering. If the people in America weren’t suffering, we wouldn’t be where we are right now.
“You know, it’s a failure on both parties. They become completely captured by corporations, both parties. And it’s time for a new America that is for the working people who were the plurality of this country.”
