Good for him! I can't begin to imagine how tough it is for people with success to remain humble in their lives and thank the one person who is responsible for it all. God Bless him and his family :)
While Piers Morgan isn't my favorite person in the world, I think he did a fair to good job on this interview, and I loved Mark Wahlberg's answers. Especially the answer he gave to "What do you pray for?"... This and his attitude toward Marcus Luttrell and the SEALs in the movie Lone Survivor, and toward our military in general have placed him very high in my "respect" pantheon.
Amen! Praying that he takes that faith one step further in making movies that glorify and evangelize our Father in Heaven. Keeping him and his beloved family in my prayers along with all those searching for the truth.
Great interview. Says he starts the day in prayer for clear focus on what's important, expression of gratitude, and clarity/reminder every day of what to focus on and what to stay away from. One of my favorite actors but didn't know this about him. Thanks.
I can't get enough of ol' Marky Mark! Even back then, his rap music had such a positive spin that it separated him from the others, i.e. rap music with anti-drug messages. God bless you, my bro in Christ!
Mark W as a kid was a Dorchester, MA minor 'thug' from what they call "Dot Ave/Fields Corner/Savin Hill area where hanging on the corner was the 'smart' and 'tough' thing to do. If you mentioned God or religion, you'd be laughed off the corner. It's not easy to get off drugs, to attain maturity with little guidance and withstand negative peer pressure in order to turn your life around. Anyone who has tried to stop drinking, drugging, or even smoking knows how difficult change is., My personal feeling is that God gives us options and choices (free will) and it's up to us every day to either walk with God, or away from God. I understand from my stepson that Mark Whalberg is a big supporter financially and morally and in person of theDaniel Maher Boys & Girls Club in his old home town--the existence of which was instrumental in helping my stepson stay straight --nice interview...thanks for sharing
God Bless you Mark Wahlberg. I am so happy to find a practicing Roman Catholic out there who is also very successful in the arts. One of the rare few. Keep strong please!
Wow! I respect him so much more that he may speak about his relationship with the Lord with confidence. What I love the most is how he expressed how he is paying it forward, being there and encouraging the youth so they won't end up messing up. Major props to ya Mark! You're the best!
Those kids your talking about, for their families every moment is precious, just like all life, who ever said that life must continue to old age, the families of sick children take great care to make their childrens life happy and loving while there here,blaming god does nothing for your arguement.
David Nolan for those families... they live life in fear, pain, and suffering due to preventable diseases or starvation... worrying about where they'll get water if the only well for 100 miles dries up. the problem of evil renders your god apathetic, pathetic, or evil.
inspiration.. sometimes I forget about my faith because I'm too distracted by the system we live in, we grow up in, the temptations and sins of this world... but when I see these stories, reminds me to never lose faith and the power of prayer... God Bless..
Nice to see quality and ethics being a goal from a celebrity instead of the garbage the media pushes from those that are only pursuing themselves and offer little to their communities. Good for you Mark!
Wow! I did not know this about him! I am amazed and very pleased to hear there is a Hollywood hero who loves God, prays and serves God seriously everyday'
I don't agree with some of the movie choices he has made but I have respect for him for sharing his faith in this interview. Some of the movies he has been in are just unacceptable for a man of faith.
Just cause I'm a catholic doesn't mean I don't love Jesus as any Christian may so Christians please stop with all the negativity we are one and only have one lord and savior Jesus Christ.
@@redmaj11 No sir. You are wrong and looks like the real ignorant one is you. A Christian is not a Catholic, nor vice versa. Christian's and Catholic's doctrine is quite different. The difference in doctrine is very noticeable. If there were no difference among Christians or Catholic there is no need to distinguish one another by entitled names. There are a lot of works involved in the catholic church. Catholicism highly recommend a lot of works to keep faith or salvation. However, the bible teaches, this "8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV) It is very easy to fall into legalism when we are told to attend (mandatory) sermons, to pray a certain way, or taking of the sacraments. This is not just a problem in Catholics, but Protestant churches as well. If you want to know the truth about God. Stop relying on the church, leaders, and even peers. I'm speaking to all Christians and Catholics or whoever confessed to love Christ. People lie, but God doesnt. "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." 1 John 2:27 KJV

wow! mark's come a long way! so well spoken and seemingly centered. definitely, highly regarded in hollywood.........mark, i'll accept favors ANYTIME!!! (lol....and return them, too!)
It isn't often that people in the public eye, especially big name celebrities, can talk about their faith openly and sincerely, but still feel grounded. I noticed that he didn't expand on his religious epiphany any more than that he had one. As a strong yet quiet Catholic I can look up to him to be a role model in how to talk about faith to a secular audience. Big ups to Mark.
It is really rare ppl in US especially in hollywood that still believing in God, this is so inspirational and make me think that whereever you are, you dont need to get your neighborhood to agree to your deeds, especially loving God Jesus.....yaa Mark, you are a great inspiration
This was touching... I just hope that this was real and not for show.... I really do hope that he is as good of a guy he is portraying...love Mark Wahlberg tho
I applaud you Mark for your hard work and continuous work in making yourself an upstanding man, husband, father and Christian! He deserves his gifts and rewards!! And kudos for not being ashamed to admit it all and your honesty! You are a good example...to bad more people arent the same way....as in some of those making this whole post a religious argument and turning everything into their completely inappropriate opinions!
Wow, he seems to have changed for the better in the last 20 years, although I'm sure the rap career that he had in the early '90s is a chapter of his life that he'd like to put behind him.
ive always loved mark as a actor hes funny and hes really good at what he does and a nice family man also but i never new how much of a inspiration he was until i saw this video well done mark
I knew I liked this man for a reason. Even though he's always been portrayed as kind of a punk and a rebel, I could always tell (through acting roles or interviews) that there was always something much deeper within him. He's an admirable man without a doubt. I'm not religious at all but have a lot of respect for those with convictions of their own.
great person and actor, It is always wonderful to hear an accomplished person be thankful to God, and give all the glory to the holy trinity because he is catholic, may God bless you mark and keep up the good work, I will buy a hamburger soon at one of your restaurants, maybe the one in Toronto,
great guy ive always loved him as a actor but watching this i love him as a person family guy turned his life around wants to do good thats a great vibe to be around
Well done on Mark being happy,the Catholic faith is about just doing what's right and having no excuses. Ppl who come on here and talk rubbish about straw man arguments,logical fallacies,fairy tales etc. etc. etc. need to get a life(you know who you are). God bless Mark.
+musa rasan I use to love this guy until I discovered he was a racist. Once a racist always a racist you just get better at hiding it. But despite that everyone deserves a second chance and he has clearly turned his life around and what that I respect him.

Playing Marcus Luttrell in Lone Survivor, I don't have to worry about him lol. He's got Navy SEAL friends lol.
He is definitely an inspiration.
He is. He just swears a lot. I can deal with the swearing though. I’m a Christian and I cuss a lot too.
The roadmap to a good life is right in front of all of us. Prayer and forgiveness.
