Los Angeles, Jan 11 (IANS): Actor Mark Wahlberg is jealous that his daughters are obsessed with One Direction, and he has joked that he hopes to punch the band's member Harry Styles someday.

The “Lone Ranger” star isn't impressed that his children, Ella, 10, and Grace, four, are huge fans of the “Story of My Life” hitmaker.

He even wants to punch Harry Styles in the nose but still hopes to arrange for them to meet the boy band in the near future, reports contactmusic.com.

The 42-year-old actor told US chat show host Conan O'Brien Thursday: "The girls have turned to One Direction, and it's like they don't care about dad anymore."

Wahlberg, who also has sons, Michael, seven, and Brendan, five, with his wife, Rhea Durham, added: "My four-year-old says, 'Daddy, I like Harry.' She pulls out pictures of him, and she's hiding pictures in the room, and I pretend that I'm gonna rip them up and I get jealous. But if I see that little p***k, he's gonna get it."
