Mark Wahlberg reveals heartfelt reason behind his tattoo tribute
The Hollywood star, a specialist in action films with flying fists, is privately a devoted father and husband. He has a long-term marriage, which is quite unusual in this industry, and now he reveals what captivated his wife. It's about a small detail.
Wahlberg, who has a criminal past, does not hide his attachment to the Christian faith. You can find recordings of his inviting people to pray on his Instagram profile. The actor and his wife's first date took place in a church. Mark met Rhea in 2001. The couple have four children. Interestingly, the star, who is very religious, married the mother of his children only in 2009, when three of their kids had already been born.
During one of his recent interviews, the star was asked about the tattoo on his ring finger.
"It's my wife's name," he replied. "In case I'm not wearing my ring or I'm working, I can always have," he joked.
Mark Wahlberg's career
Mark Wahlberg, now a Hollywood icon, began his entertainment career as a member of the musical group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. Despite his success on the music scene, his music career was short-lived, and Wahlberg quickly sought other opportunities, leading him to acting.
Early in his career, he gained recognition for roles in films such as "Boogie Nights," a film about the pornographic film industry in the 70s and 80s, where Wahlberg played Dirk Diggler, a young man who became a star in this unusual industry. His authentic and passionate portrayal earned praise from critics and audiences, opening doors to even bigger projects.
Undoubtedly, the greatest pride came from his performance in "The Departed" in 2006, for which he received an Oscar nomination. However, Wahlberg's acting career has also been a series of poor choices and Golden Raspberry nominations. Today, the actor is associated with films for a less demanding audience. His latest movie is quite an adventure, "Arthur the Dog", available on TVP VOD.
