Mark Wahlberg rocks his religion loud and proud. In 2023, “The Fighter” actor appeared on the “Today” show during an important day in the Catholic religion. Wahlberg went on the show on Ash Wednesday, which, according to NBC New York, “marks the start of the holy season of Lent, a time for reflection and repentance in preparation for the celebration of Easter.” Typically, those in the Catholic faith will attend church to receive ashes on their forehead, as Wahlberg did.
When Wahlberg appeared on the “Today” show, he not only had his ashes on full display but passionately talked about what his religion meant to him. He said, “You know it’s [faith] not popular in my industry. But you know I cannot deny my faith. It’s important for me to share that with people.” The actor added that his faith meant everything to him.
Wahlberg has even credited God and faith for giving him the life he lives now. As we know, the actor had a troubling childhood, but when he began to turn to his religion, his life changed drastically. During an appearance on “Fox and Friends Weekend,” he said, “The [faith] part of the discipline has really afforded me all the other wonderful things in my life, my family, my career, being able to turn my life around.” Wahlberg is extremely passionate about his religion, and it has even led him to an exciting faith-based project, and no, we’re not talking about a movie.
