Mark Wahlberg on Faith, Family, Hard Work, and What He Prays For

[ruthzellian]

Praise the LORD...so proud of you, Mark. Keep up the good work in the LORD.

[Pitttdog]

thats awesome. Maybe one day ill be enough to be saved as well.

[godsbeengood2me]

I will pray for you "Tenwhoweretaken"

[TenWhoWereTaken]

@godsbeengood2me I'm praying to Satan on your behalf.

[raykaelin]

Believe it that by this guy admitting that he is a practicing Catholic, in no way benefits him in his entertainment career. If anything, folks will think twice about casting him, and it will exclude him from 'saucier' or compromising roles.

[TenWhoWereTaken]

I always knew Mark Wahlberg was a stupid fucker. What a terrible person corrupting children with his Jesus lies.

[SupaNami]

@TenWhoWereTaken calling someone you've never met a stupid fucker say's alot about you ... his so called lies helped him prosper to become a better person ....you should listen, so that yourself can prosper and grow into a better person :D

[TheMissDeeQ]

You no what more celebrities should try and be a positive role model for young kids, like he is.

[YahwehFanatic]

I'm a strong Christian and not a Catholic but this is simply awesome! I love this. He is such an awesome guy!

[EnjoyLife4ever1000]

God Bless you Mark Wahlberg , we all walk the same path

[clerven]

I do not beleive this guy.

[SupaNami]

@clerven im sure no one believes you either :D

[clerven]

@SupaNami That is the best you can do?

[SupaNami]

@clerven is that the best you can sum up? .... what someone can do? .. really dude! if you really want to know what the best i can do is ? .. hold a good job .. whats the best you can do ? talk about what i wrote .. not about Emotional insecurities that you have on ya self loser ... kick ya mom and dad in the ass and tell them to get a job :D

[clerven]

@SupaNami Thanks for revealing your ghetto mentality.

That is all I wanted you to do.

This is so easy.

[SupaNami]

@clerven LMFAO

[yellowballpoets]

God bless you my Brother in Christ

Pax Domine sed semper vobiscum.

[TheGenuineChristian]

So...when a celebrity says something it has more weight to it?

[Glareth]

My respect for him went up a lot more after seeing this video

[MontaukToManhattan]

MARK, KEEP SEEK YOUR GOD...HE HAS SO MUCH TO SHOW YOU!! AND REMEMBER HIS NAME IS JESUS!! 

[MrHigami]

Mark we Love you brother.... God Bless you and your beautiful family!!!

[pischeddafamily]

wow :)

[salambahw]

WE LOVE YOU MARK MY GOD BLESS YOU AND UR FAMILY KEEP UO BROTHER IM CATHOLIC FROM IRAQ IM SO GALD OF YOU

[missmaribel7]

It's hard to talk the talk, we should all try to walk the walk. I'm inspired to continue to do that. Thanks Mark.

[conraddoavil]

that's amazing! I wish I could go to church everyday, God's presence gives me so much peace

[Poliflix76]

Marky Mark the boy has truly become Mark the man! Beautiful to witness what the power of God can do!

[ukbird7]

do you have the rest of the interview?

[freevailable]

the streets never leave

[Chenelaz]

God bless you Mark.....

[iamrwg2u]

Wow! Amen! Funny how some of easy disappointment & disillusionment are bad spellers, eh?

[Coeliacrecipes]

Glad to see your expression of faith and strength! Stay strong!

[McSpacerson]

How disapointing, never realize Marky Mark was so un-enlightend.

[TheJasonDR]

@McSpacerson yes Atheism is well known to bring comfort to people ..Mila Kunis family were not allowed to practice Judaism because as we all know Communism is very anti religion ...and promoted the evil Atheist ideology

[McSpacerson]

@TheJasonDR Communism is a failed Economic Idealogy, Atheism is enlightenment into accepting the reality of the world. One has nothing to do with the other. Thats like saying if you're a NY Yankee's fan you must also be a NY Jets fan.

[TheJasonDR]

@McSpacerson hmm...so how do you explain the jewish history ? are they not the chosen people destined to bring about Jesus ?

[McSpacerson]

@TheJasonDR Why is it my job to explain Jewish history?  what does that have to do anything? Why not Chinese, Persian, Aztec, Aboriginee, Scottish or Navajo history?

[TheJasonDR]

@McSpacerson because it is not about fairness or equality ..the thing is the bible details everything that happens in the end times for example the bible speaks of England ..the bible calls england the Prostitute drunk with the blood of saints riding a Beast with 7 heads and 10 horns or something like that eventually the beast will GROW tired of her influence and beat her and call her slanderous words but in the end the Prostitute never left them meaning of course the Language and the culture

[danaloraine]

I am so impressed with what he said he prays for. I wish I had been blessed with a man in my life like him.

[chozen1956]

@danaloraine It's never too late. But should God decide not to give you that man, you have the man of men, Jesus Christ. And though he cannot fulfill your marital desires, he can do so much more. The more you give him, the more he will fulfill you.

[temeculaCA1]

Until I watched this video, I would never have guessed that Mark Wahlberg was a practicing Catholic. God bless you.

[bhanna12391]

more celebrities need to be like him

[belairbum]

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!

[3martijns]

Excellent honest testimony.

Atheists/agnostics have No clue of how Much they Miss in Life!

[EmLovescrazy]

Im so in love with him <333 My husband <333

[peskytresky]

I quite like this man.

[salambahw]

@peskytresky

WHY? ARE YOU MUSLIMS? IM GLAD IM A CATHOLIC AND YOU WISH TO BE CATHOLIC TOO

[peskytresky]

@salambahw Dude, relax! All I said was (and I quote my own comment) "I quite like this man" Now why would that make me muslim? I'm a Catholic too. Sheeesh. You need to chill.

[Browerchick]

I like him...

[egyptianminor]

I've always thought he's mediocre actor and rapper. Now I''ve just read about his racist attacks on blacks, gratuitous attacks that broke someone's jaw, beat up & offended 2 Vietnamese men, one of which he left permanently blinded - he did 45 days for these crimes and says " I have certainly paid for my mistakes". no you haven't Markymark - you got away with attempted murder, you sick violent overrated fake 'artist'. I just lost the tiny bit of respect I had for you - You should be in jail.

[baumblue]

Mark - Having a problem with reality - your comments related to 9-11 is really showing that you have a problem - your act about your past is getting tired .

[surtines23]

(Cite from wiki) When he was 16, Wahlberg approached a Vietnamese man on the street and, using a large wooden stick, knocked him (while calling him "Vietnam fucking shit"). He also attacked another Vietnamese man, leaving him permanently blind in one eye.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? He made some one BLIND for no reason.

How come this guy could make success in Hollywood???

Go to hell criminal Mark.

Having known this fact, I decided not to watch his boring movies any more. It's so insane.

[encrypter46]

@surtines23 So you don't believe in redemption. How nice. I DO believe in it but at the same time, I never liked the liberal word changing tricks like the Department of Prisons to the Department of Corrections. I think it's best to go back to "prisons" yet still believe someone can learn from their juvenile mistakes and contribute to all things being better.

[RandDguy]

@surtines23 He went to jail and served time for this. But maybe you should contact the prosecuting attorney and see if you can have him retried seeking capital punishment.

[shawndw1000]

It's always the fucking leftist athiest losers who are the most negative. No fucking lives. Always tearing down someone else. that why they love being a liberal..they love victims. Marky Mark aint no victim..so they hate him.

[shawndw1000]

Good for u Wahlberg. Ur the type of guy I could hang out with. Always respected him.

[snakepit420]

@brian38383838 i completely agree with you

[snakepit420]

all you losers hatin on mark are retarded. he switched his life around 360 degrees, he did something we all wish we could do.

[kingofallwhites]

Fuck this stupid cocksucker.

[shawndw1000]

@kingofallwhites ur a fucking loser.

[kingofallwhites]

@shawndw1000 You fucking moron- this guy is a narcissistic piece of shit.

[shawndw1000]

@kingofallwhites u fucking moron. ur a narcissistic piece of shit.

[TerrbleTrioHerb]

what a great guy!

Keep strong man!

[djkelsey]

I'd really like to give him the benefit of the doubt....but I don't know all of the details about the timing in his life. I really can't see somebody praying everyday to ask for God's guidance and then going to the set to shoot "Boogie Nights".

[Somai82]

A whigger thug gone actor who starts his day with prayers and then proceeds to commit every sin imaginable, only to do the same thing all over again the next day. Yeah, he's a Christian alright.

And you better believe his charity programs are christian front groups who are designed to prey on poor and desperate people to try and convert them.

[ggonzalez435]

@Somai82 Wow, go ahead and judge, I feel sorry for you. I suppose no one in your life has room to change their life around and do good things. I will pray for you

[Somai82]

@ggonzalez435 Save the fake Christian pity bullshit and skip the prayer and instead go back to fucking work, you'll actually help out someone for real.

Christians..masters in playing the poor persecuted victim card while condemning people left and right.

[eljoker75]

Man, there always has to be losers out there that have to put down people like this cool dude and great actor Marky Mark that are trying to be a better person and finding the right path in life. They're just jealous.

Just saying,...

[thewraith4]

Mark. Wahlberg. Can't. Act.

Just sayin'...

[PrimeFly007]

stupid fag! Go spread your delusions somewhere else, africa maby

[Boris82much]

Mark! Wish more men would step up and be the kind of man you have become.

[scrapguyone1]

Met him last year at the Boardwalk Empire premiere in NYC  / very gracious

[Yesica1993]

I don't know much about him, but I will keep a closer eye on his projects. This was a lovely interview and I wish him all the best.

[dookdawg214]

Marky Mark thinks he's tough -- LOL. Man, I'd snap his little 5'3" ass in half.

[shawndw1000]

@dookdawg214 ya..u think ur a badass behind ur computer..fucking computer nerd.

[dookdawg214]

@shawndw1000

I'm not a bad ass but I know how to fight, and I've been fighting as a sport for years. Although I don't know anything about you, statistically speaking, there's a very large chance that I could beat your ass. Would you like to fight me? I'll be happy to shed my anonymity for a brawl. Let me know.

[mustanggundam]

My girl friends college friend smokes herijuana with Marky Mark when he's in NYC. Just saying...

[AmericanRiver]

Oh Marky-Mark!

[usaeagle1776]

good to hear that someone in the deviant town of Hollyweird is a normal human being. Have always liked this guy and his brother now playing in "blue bloods." I like them even more now.

[Apprentice12233445]

Wow, what a beast.

[hotface4567]

Would that all Catholics had the grace to be as bold and charitable as Mr. Wahlberg. God Bless him and his beautiful familly!

[manguy2000]

@hotface4567

I can totally relate to Mr. Wahlberg. And when it comes to my Catholic faith, I am also unwavering. I am not ashamed to express it and talk about it and what it has done for me. In many ways people attack my faith, mostly out of ignorance and I feel like I always have to justify myself. Well, its not based on the poor actions of other Catholics but on the faith handed down by Christ who built this church. And only this church.

[kutasyk1]

Mark is a very special man! God bless you Mark, and may He gives you all you need in your life. And may He give us many more wonderful movies with you performing in them!

[TomboysTv]

What a cool guy!

[youtubvideowatcha]

This guy...

[brunetteDUH]

You can have faith and be in the movie business, thanks Mark for helping me feel that I can do it :)

[boyinTshirt]

Only the simple minded need a magic man to rely on.

[lavampire]

Wow!  My total respect for this man. Wow! Great man! Tough, yet realistic and humble!

[ligurio93]

I did not realize his rough or misguided background. He definitely speaks as a man of faith and how it is important to him.

[mfigliozzi3190]

"Atheists don't believe in anything, don't stand for anything, and they are good for nothing,"- Bill Donohue. I could not agree more. But to all you atheists I pray that you find and feel the love of Jesus. Stop being so full of hate and lies about the Christian faith especially. At the end of the day you make the choice.

[veganpeacelove]

The Catholic priest guided Marky Mark with a thumb up his bum!

[SpeechLady101]

Way to go Mark!!

[hatakekaishi]

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!

[SHEEPLEwhisperer]

This is so much more important than the SOPA bill, and Indefinite Detention.

Real hard hitting News CNN, thanks.

[Redbob86]

Marky Mark, your movies may be awful, but atleast you're personal life is so much healthier than so many other celebreties.

[Sashi1116]

There you go! all the religious freaks gain. What a bunch of air heads in this country. Every time any of these fools mention "GOD" all of you freaks start saying. What a good guy, excellent role model blablabla. This is God talking " I told you they are a bunch of idiots, they believe anything you tell them hahaha, exactly what I want" Please put some money in the basket before leaving.

[Redbob86]

@Sashi1116

Atheists make me laugh because they actually think they are somehow different than most people, when really they offer no actual insight into life and instead their commentary typically consists of contempt for others and self-fellating. Stop acting like you're some misunderstood rebel who "gets it". You're a boring, predictable dullard, and the fact you even had to find this video just to shit on Christians just shows how lame you are, as most people just don't watch.

[CrackRockKilla]

@Redbob86 I forgot that I thought I was different than most people. Stop trying to categorize everyone because I could do just the same. I could say every christian is ignorant, racist, sexist, and idiotic. Now that's just not true, and that's not fair to say. This atheist hating shit gets old fast, just shut the fuck up and keep to yourself with matters that you don't know what the fuck your talking about and stop pushing your opinions as facts.

[sparklechopz]

@Redbob86 All atheists are not the same, just as all christians are not the same. Some artheists and christians have insight, some do not. Some are dull, some are not. etc etc

Grouping people into mass uniform groups is incredibly uninsghtful and lazy.

[sparklechopz]

@Redbob86 PS - You're funny - I thumbed you up.

[KneeOfJustice2046]

@Redbob86 You can say the same thing about Christians. I'll admit there are some atheists who are outspoken and bigoted, but the same goes for some Christians. I've never heard a Christian offer me insight on something that gave me a startling revelation on life. In fact, they're often boring and simply say something predictable like "God wills it." It goes both ways. Peace.

[paddyjoedonovan1]

Never really been a fan of his but certainly will be reviewing my opinions in light of this.

[250kad]

Too bad he had to talk to this limey Slimey.

[xtrashed]

This is so rare in Hollywood. Good on you Mark, God bless!

[squidly1117]

One guy like this makes up for ten George Clooneys and Jeanine Garfafalos.

[SKPC11]

Good for him. Love his acting. Good example for kids.

[Ichiboy900]

Mark praying: Just...just gimme a second to think!

[teton99]

Kudos Mark! If you want to be a radical these days, be a practicing Catholic, can’t get any more anti-cultural than that. 

[DeepThought42a]

Coming out of Hollywood, that's courageous! There are so many liberal,progressive crazies dumping on good people like Margaret Thatcher, it may be difficult for him to get the next job after this.

[Jitpring]

Surprising. But did his devotion begin before or after he made trash such as Boogie Nights and that Scorcese movie?

[axeI87]

@Jitpring nice trolling

[frjimstmj]

great example......... seems to be living the 12 steps and traditions in a great way!........ keep up the good work and God's blessings

[go4kyourselfRAT]

I always liked Mark Wahlberg. He is PROOF that it's not about "I'm being discriminated against cause I've been in trouble before, I'm a victim, I'm a product of my environment blablabla....it's about personal responsibility and being a MAN. I love this guy.

[connecticutmommmy]

wow.

[endisnighe]

Pfffft, Wahlberg's propagandist, also known as his publicist, has told him that his communist rhetoric is making him hated. Therefore he attempts to portray himself in a different light.

I would not piss on him or others in hollyweird, it would be a waste of good urine!

[seoulman101]

cool, but then why go and make movies about drug smuggling, killing, raping, and what ever other stuff you do..ok, sure that's just work, but still.. why not chose movies which focus more on positive things. hey just saying.. I am still entertained by his movies.. but seems strange he wants to be a role model, but then just says, "OHH THAT'S JUST MY JOB!"

Kids don't do drugs! I am only acting.

[CatholicCompiler]

Really admired him in the movie called Fighter. Never knew he was a believer!!

[mattd259]

LEGEND

[helraphaelfsp]

Dude! Where is your accent???? --a fellow Bostonian

[dragonpullman23]

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.

[alvincay100]

Don't get excited, he's probably a Catholic like Ted Kennedy was.

[klaybush]

I always like people who have personal convictions and keep themselves accountable.

[holt2k]

Mark Wahlberg talks to animals. PS: Say hi to your mother for me.

[brian38383838]

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.

[AirBahg]

@brian38383838 "He harassed a group of African American school kids with racist epithets, and when he was 16, again using racist language, he attacked a middle-aged Vietnamese man and left the man blind in one eye. Wahlberg was arrested for attempted murder, plead guilty to assault, and spent 45 days in jail" yeah what a lovely guy. retard.

[brian38383838]

@AirBahg No offense but I could give two shits about your little story, I bet you can guess where I think you can stick it.

[kennhi2008]

I have always liked this guy, But I really have found a new level of respect for him and will continue to support every movie he makes.

[catothewiser]

I always thought he was a Jew.

[dano1881]

it cracks my up the way people like morgan ask these questions to people who have strong religious conviction. it's as if wahlberg is an exotic animal in a zoo that this condescending secular humanist has encountered for the first time.

[kayliannlowe]

I knew I liked him!

[Leticiabear]

I have a new found respect for Mr. Wahlberg. God bless you and keep you strong.

[MrProgrampro]

Oyeah and: WHAT AN AMAZING PERSON!! Mark Wahlberg, you rule!!

[MrProgrampro]

@Dreadmore Don't be stupid, liberals don't hate people like this. His faith is exactly what faith should be: a personal source of spirituality and moral guidance. He doesn't force his views on others, he just uses them to better himself.

[Dreadmore]

liberals have just found a new person to hate.

[madbradwilson]

I have always respected Mr. Wahlberg.
