Actor Mark Wahlberg credits his faith for his success in Hollywood. “My faith, and my family, and just finding good balance,” Wahlberg told Fox News. “But I have to attribute all my success to my faith.”
He made these comments at his new restaurant, Flecha, blessed by Bishop Kevin W. Vann of the Diocese of Orange. Wahlberg, who funded and starred in the 2022 film “Father Stu,” often shares his Catholic faith. “You got to stay prayed up,” Wahlberg told fans when the movie was released. “God bless you.”
Prayer is central to the actor’s life. He starts each day with Scripture and invocations. Yet, he doesn’t force these values on his kids, hoping his daily devotion naturally resonates with them. Wahlberg’s consistency in faith has been notable. “As soon as I started putting my faith and focus on God, good things started happening for me,” he told Fox News in 2023.
Faith and Family at the Center
“Even with my faith, I don’t force it on [my kids],” Wahlberg said on NBC’s “Today” in 2022. “But they know that dad can’t start the day without being in prayer, can’t start the day without reading my Scripture or going to Mass.”
He hopes they will gravitate toward it on their own, seeing its importance to him. Wahlberg’s consistency in his faith has been notable over the years. He often discusses the impact of clinging to God on his life.
