Cut-throat action and bitingly sarcastic comedy are two polar ends of entertainment. While Mark Wahlberg champions the former when it comes to pop culture dominance, the late Matthew Perry’s Chandler Bing from the evergreen sitcom, Friends, reigns in humor and sardonic one-liners. Both these icons are embedded in different cultural universes, but remain etched into the minds of many forever. What if they have something entirely unexpected in common, not a scene or a dialogue, but an unknown physical characteristic? 

An offbeat fact that brings a Hollywood A-lister together with a fan-favorite TV personality has turned into a funny legend. 

What does Mark Wahlberg and Chandler Bing have in common?

In the most unexpected turn of events, both Chandler Bing and Mark Wahlberg are members of the triple nipple club, having a rare medical feature called polythelia, or a supernumerary nipple. Wahlberg, for instance, once shared on Good Morning Britain that he has a third nipple in 2017, a harmless congenital feature he jokes about being one of his prized possessions. In Friends, Chandler’s third nipple, which he fondly referred to as “nubbin,” was employed as a running joke. When Monica let the secret about nubbin out during a group punchline, all of them were viciously curious about its whereabouts.

In Friends Season 2, episode 4, Ross held a coffee cup near Chandler’s chest, humorously indicating that his third nipple was lactating. Meanwhile, Mark Wahlberg left his co-guests, such as Will Ferrell, at the talk show utterly speechless with a similar revelation in real life. Supplementary nipples are mostly tiny, harmless, and commonly mistaken for a mole, as Friends scenes would have made amply clear. While Chandler’s nubbin made it a comedy milestone, Wahlberg’s candor normalized such vestigial features, cementing his status as a well-loved celebrity once again. 

Mark Wahlberg’s medical curiosity may be small, but his latest and upcoming career moves definitely are not.
