Mark Wahlberg caused a stir on the Jimmy Kimmel show last night when he 'jokingly' threatened violence against a Saturday Night Live comedian.

The Planet of the Apes star was shown a clip of a comedy skit where 'Mark' as portrayed by SNL regular Adam Samberg talks to a chicken

And when quizzed about whether he found the sketch funny, the actor said, “When I see that kid I'm gonna crack that big f***ing nose of his.

“Then I'm gonna tell him say hi to your mother for me."

To increasingly nervous laughter from the audience, Mark describes in detail how he intends to fly out to New York, find the comedian and, “slap him in the big nose.”

Nice one, Mark.
