The "Father Stu" star explained why he thinks living by example is the best way to impart his Catholic faith to his four children with wife Rh.
The film depicts initial opposition from the church to his goal of becoming a priest due to his boxing background and criminal record. TODAY's Carson Daly is another dad of four who has been upfront about the importance of his Catholic faith in his life to the point where he almost became a priest. "And I love the Hallow app, by the way."
Father Stu star Mark Wahlberg may be on the A-list, but he's not afraid of tackling the third rail of modern culture - Cancel Culture.
His spirituality drove him to make “Father Stu,” and he even invested some of his cash into the film. And negativity as a whole has just been amplified in a way that it’s really hard to remind people of the importance of loving and supporting people. “This movie has a very clear message that we are not going to give up on people,” he said. “We are not going to turn our backs on people because of mistakes that they’ve made. “You cannot give up on people,” the A-lister continued. As a teenager, Wahlberg physically attacked other teens and pelted them with racial slurs.
MarkWahlberg has revealed that his time in Hollywood might be drawing to a close "sooner rather than later" #unCrazed.
So, hopefully, this movie will open a door for not only myself but lots of other people in Hollywood to make more meaningful content.” Though he expressed an interest in continuing to make impactful content – indicating he was straying away from the comedy and action work he is perhaps best known for – Wahlberg also admitted that his exit from Hollywood would happen “sooner rather than later, probably.” Speaking with Entertainment Tonight during a screening of his latest film, Father Stu, Wahlberg said that he felt as though he was “starting a new chapter”.
The actor, producer, and Boston native teased a possible biopic on the iconic New England Patriots head coach.

Mark Wahlberg's time in Hollywood may be nearing its end. The 50-year-old actor, who has more than 60 film credits to his name, is considering retiring from ...
"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. It is unclear why Wahlberg is listing his home, though it seems that he isn't quite ready to walk away from Hollywood just yet. Wahlberg opened up about the future of his career when speaking to Entertainment Tonight at his hometown screening in Boston for his latest film, Father Stu, earlier in April. Asked when the curtains will close on his Hollywood career, the actor teased, "sooner rather than later, probably."
Mark Wahlberg has a famously punishing physical routine that has kept the 50-year-old in enviable shape.
“My camper was right next to Mel (Gibson’s) camper. And then the last two weeks, we had lots of sodium to kind of get the bloating effect, but not fun at all.” “That was something that I’ve seen in my community, it’s something that I’ve seen in my mother, so I really enjoyed being able to portray that for a worldwide audience.” “I liked that she was very kind and very generous and she had a very rooted faith,” Ruiz said. A lot. His avowed agnosticism gives way to genuine faith, and he decides he will become a priest, despite the skepticism of his parents, played by Jacki Weaver (Oscar-nominated for “Silver Linings Playbook”) and Mel Gibson (“Braveheart”).
Mark Wahlberg doesn't look like his Marky Mark self in 'Father Stu,' and it was quite a gross road to get to that state.
Yeah, even if Wahlberg thinks that this was the “healthy” way, one’s arteries still can’t be happy with an excess amount of the “good” fat that comes in olive oil. The second two weeks were a lot of carbs. While speaking to E! Online, the former Marky Mark revealed his menu, which included a daily glass of olive oil.
The Father Stu actor is dad to daughters Ella, 18, and Grace Margaret, 12, plus sons Michael, 16, and Brendan, 13.
"They think Dad's crazy, and he's boring," he joked to Hoda Kotb. "But even with my faith, I don't force it on them. The actor said he wants to "make sure that people are, and especially parents, that they're listening to their children and are hearing what's going on with them, that they love them unconditionally and support them and really root for them and cheer them on in anything that they decide that they want to do, as long as it's positive, productive." Wahlberg said that, as a Catholic man, there are parallels between the film and his life, which is why he's so passionate about the project.
In a recent interview,Transformer star Mark Wahlberg described how he struggled to transform his body for his upcoming biopic film, Father Stu.
Christian Bale notoriously lost an incredible amount of weight for his indie film The Machinist where he got down to 120 pounds. Incredibly, Bale gained 100 pounds in six months so he could don the cape and cowl for Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins. Taking the time to commit to a body transformation when a role calls for it shows the caliber of an actor who is giving his all for their craft. The last two weeks starches, and then sodium, just to kind of get as bloated as possible. He stuck to a regimented diet consisting of eggs, bacon, potatoes, rice, and olive oil adding, "The first two weeks were high proteins. The second two weeks were a lot of carbs. "I started with 7,000 calories for the first two weeks and then 11,000 calories for the final four weeks.

According to Dirt, “The Departed” actor custom-built the home along with his wife, Rhea Durham. “That house will fit the WHOLE Funky Bunch I bet!” someone joked. Sure, the exterior may look a little on the “Bridgerton” side (even with its five-hole golf course) but the inside is an entire world of its own.
The 6-acre spread includes a skate park, a basketball court and a five-hole golf course.
It also includes formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen with two islands, a light-filled breakfast nook and a family room, listing photos show.

Father Stu is rough, yes, but it's also excellent, with a powerful script and the actors and filmmakers needed to make it soar. Although it can be categorized as faith-based, he said, it "has something that a lot of faith-based movies don't have, which is just really super-high-quality filmmaking, storytelling, actors – and edge, in a very kind of raw way that people aren't used to seeing." Michael Foust has covered the intersection of faith and news for 20 years. Just like the real Stuart Long, Wahlberg gained weight – about 30 pounds, to be exact. His mom tells him that Jesus is a "fairy tale." His disorder, he says, is a "momentary affliction" preparing him for "eternal glory." His disorder, he says, is helping him to be "close to Christ." Father Stu is a gripping story that has lessons for everyone in the audience – Catholics and Protestants alike. His boxing career appears to be his ticket to success, but when an injury ends his career, he grows bitter and depressed. Jaw surgery shortened his boxing career, so he moved to Los Angeles and gave the entertainment industry a try. Long began exploring religion and became Catholic. He then went to seminary to become a priest. Raised in a rough home, Long, as a child, rarely receives encouragement and is even told by his father that he's only good at eating peanut butter.
Mark Wahlberg discussed the challenges of gaining 30 pounds in just a few weeks for his movie 'Father Stu.'
“Once the metabolism starts to slow down, it gets really difficult. “It was fun for about an hour and then it’s such a hard, physical thing to do … even when you’re full, you’d wake up after a meal. “It wasn’t that it was hard to get Hollywood to make the movie,” he told the radio host. “It wasn’t like I pitched it to everybody. “I wasn’t eating Wahlburgers all day,” he stated. And why he chose to help finance the film.

You have to have … you have to juxtapose the central event that I’m trying to tell with everything else around it in the future, in the past and in other realms, and that’s kind of getting a little sci-fi out there. Mel, your final thoughts on: How do you think the various pieces that came together here [worked], the faith aspect as well as the artistry and the unexpected director; how all of that conspired to enrich this story that could have very easily gone in a very different way? MARK: Every step of the way, the powers that be have been at work, and intercession has been pretty clear and evident. And then, after that, I’m off to Europe to make a movie and then kind of figuring out something else. MARK: When I was able to kind of turn my life around and started to do good things, I just wanted to make sure that I could create opportunities for inner-city kids and at-risk youth growing up in similar situations and especially back home. And to see them respond to the film in a way they did and realize how necessary the language was to be far more authentic and connect with real people, because you have this language everywhere you go, it was important. I was always thinking about how could I give back and do more, utilize what has been given to me for the greater purpose and what God really gave it to me for. And I always really admired what Mel did with The Passion and that love letter that he created to the Lord. And I was like, wow, that certainly inspired me. I haven’t been in the theater for a long time — and for the first time in over two years, to see it with a full audience and see their reaction. But to have them see the movie and respond the way that they did was the most important thing. And I’ve had to do that make-up stuff where you go by, you go back and do another flyby and try and right things that maybe weren’t perfect and talk about stuff. And I think he learned that staying in the fight on your feet isn’t always as effective as getting on your knees and admitting that you can’t do it alone.
