LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mark Wahlberg remarked that after he started putting his "faith and focus on God," "good things" began to happen to him. In a recent interview, the 51-year-old actor stated that his religion is the most important thing to him, aside from his family, and that he would not have been able to manage the difficult times without it.
"I attribute everything good and everything positive in life to my faith. As soon as I started putting my faith and focus on God, good things started happening for me," Wahlberg told Fox News. He added, "And even when they didn't, it gives you the coping skills to deal with things that are inevitable, like loss and failure and those things. But, you know, again, my faith and my family, those are the most important aspects of my life," as reported by Dailywire.
