'Ted' stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane strutted their stuff on the red carpet at the films premier in Los Angeles.

The R-rated comedy centers on a potty-mouthed, prostitute loving bong smoking bear who wreaks havoc on his owners social life.

But Wahlberg insists Ted has other redeeming qualities.

'Despite the fact that he's got the most foul mouth you've ever seen and he's a bad influence, he's also got a heart that's very sweet and very kind and very funny,' he said

After dreaming as a child that his bear would come to life, Wahlberg's characters changes his mind as they both grow up, especially when his girlfriend (Mila Kunis) takes offence to Teds nefarious ways.

Ted's antics can be seen from June 29 in cinemas across Australia
