" Mark remembers waving his family goodbye as they set off on their annual holiday.
The actor admitted they did their best to remain a good distance away from him, as he was still testing positive for COVID at the time.
He recalled: "I hear the car getting ready to go, the doors are shutting, and I'm like, 'Are you not the gonna come to the stairs and say goodbye?' But they did come to the stairs and stayed not six feet apart but like 36 feet apart. " Mark was eventually able to join his family on holiday, after he tested negative for the virus.
