On Wednesday, the actor revealed his religious beliefs during an appearance on NBC’s Today show.
He had an ashen forehead as a symbol for Ash Wednesday, which marks the first day of Lent, which is a period of time when Christians mark the death of Jesus Christ.
During the interview, the 51-year-old actor discussed how his religious beliefs have helped him stay focused on his work.
He noted that being able to publicly share his faith has allowed him to balance it with other things in life.
Being able to share my faith has allowed me to balance it with other things in life.
The actor, who grew up in Boston, also noted that it’s important to honor and respect people from different religions and backgrounds.
“It’s a balance,” Mark Wahlberg told @SavannahGuthrie of his practice of discussing religion. “I don’t want to jam it down anybody’s throat, but I do not deny my faith." https://t.co/ijCgDGhBi1 pic.twitter.com/W6h0uXvT1j

He said that his career as a rapper forced him to become more disciplined in his life.
He added that he wants to share his discipline with others so that they can also benefit from it.
For instance, he often fasts and takes time to spend more time with God.
According to him, God has a plan for people who want to separate themselves from other things.
Being able to separate yourself from certain things in life is very important for people to feel good about themselves.
For instance, it’s challenging for people to avoid doing bad habits and focusing on good habits instead. In 2017, Walberg asked God for forgiveness for his role in the movie “Boogie Nights.”
During an appearance at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s (UIC) Pavilion, Walberg said that he hoped that God would forgive him for his past bad decisions.
He noted that his performance in the movie “Boogie Nights” was one of the highlights of his career.
In addition, he revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show last year that he didn’t regret taking on the role of a disfigured man in the Paul Thomas Anderson film.
