Mark Wahlberg Asked God to Forgive Him for ‘Boogie Nights’
Mark Wahlberg knows he has a spotted past, but he considers Boogie Nights to be one of the worst films he’s done—and he’s asked the Lord to forgive him.
“I just always hope that God is a movie fan and also forgiving, because I’ve made some poor choices in my past,” Wahlberg said recently. “… Boogie Nights is up there at the top of the list.”
The 1997 film chronicles a young man’s role in the pornography industry.
Wahlberg, a devout Catholic, previously said his faith is “the most important part of my life. I don’t try to push it on anybody and I don’t try to hide it.”
He told Square Mile: “I pray every day and try to go to church every day. My faith in God is what makes me a better man. It’s the most important part of my life. I pray that I will live up to my intention to be the best husband and father than I can be. I never would have been able to change my life and have the success and love that I have in my world today without my faith.”
Wahlberg was recently named Hollywood’s highest-paid actor.
