His perfect storm of idiocy just got worse.

Delusional Hollywood tough guy Mark Wahlberg committed another act of phony “heroism” yesterday — by bravely going on radio and blaming the media for his insulting magazine-interview quotes about 9/11.

The “Contraband” star told various interviewers it was unfair that he was asked about the terror attack and claimed he was “misinterpreted” when he said 9/11 “wouldn’t have went down like it did” if he had been on a hijacked plane.

“It wasn’t like all of a sudden I just decided I was going to get on this soapbox and start talking about my opinion of 9/11,” he told WPLJ during a fawning interview yesterday. “I was there to talk about the movie.”

Sounding frustrated by the week of criticism he’d endured for his macho posturing, Wahlberg later told another radio show that he didn’t like the tone of the questions in his controversial interview, which was published by Men’s Journal.

“This particular journalist asked me a lot of different questions, most of them about sex and stuff, and I tried to reiterate that I’m a married father of four and those things aren’t cool,” he told the “Jojo, Reagan & the MIX Morning Show” in Baltimore.

“I did say some things that were misinterpreted and I certainly regret, and I would never want to offend anyone, especially the victims of 9/11, but my point was that I would be the first one to put myself in harm’s way to protect my family and innocent people.

“It’s a little unfair for someone to do an interview and write their own interpretation of it.”

The actor got hit with the storm of criticism after he was quoted in Men’s Journal talking about Sept. 11, a day on which he’d been scheduled to fly on one of the planes that hit the World Trade center but changed his plans.

“If I was on the plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” the action-movie hero told the mag. “There would have been a lot of blood in the first-class cabin, and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely. Don’t worry.’ ”

Some 9/11 family members aren’t accepting his apology.

“It’s not surprising that anyone would put a spin on something like that, which upset so many 9/11 families,” said Bill Doyle, whose son, Joseph, was killed in the north tower.
