The Infinite actor revealed in an interview with Entertainment Tonight during the hometown screening of his new film “Father Stu” in Boston, that it would have to take something as meaningful as his new movie “Father Stu” to make him act again. Mark stated that his long filming sessions are keeping him away from his family and it’s getting harder and harder for him.
“I feel like this is starting a new chapter for me in that, now, doing things like this — real substance — can help people,” he said. “I definitely want to focus on making more. I wouldn’t say necessarily just faith-based content but things that will help people. So, hopefully, this movie will open a door for not only myself but for lots of other people in Hollywood to make more meaningful content.”
Mark is married to Rhea Durham and they share four children Ella, 18, Michael, 16, Brendan, 13, and Grace, 12.
“It’s gotta be something special to really bring me, you know, to leave home, to leave those guys behind,” Wahlberg admitted, “because it’s the biggest sacrifice in the making for sure.”

During the filming of his latest movie “Father Stu,” Mark lost his mother, Alma. He disclosed that he emulated the character he was playing in “Father Stu” to help him process his grief.
“Well, certainly Stu’s ability to handle adversity with such dignity and grace has helped me to just focus on the good things and celebrate all the wonderful times,” he said. “My mom was so strong even in her most difficult and vulnerable times. She just wanted us to be OK, and if we’re lucky enough to live a long life, we’re gonna all deal with very difficult times and it’s how you deal with those things and embrace those things and more importantly recognizing, seeing the good in other people.”
“This movie’s really touching everybody who sees it because we’re all going through something. These are very difficult times and so to be able to share this with other people and remind people that things can get better … we’ve gotta lock arms and support each other,” Wahlberg concluded.
