Mark Wahlberg Admits He Prayed To God For Forgiveness For Accepting Role

8 months ago

Mark Wahlberg is a Catholic man and makes no secret about it. The Chicago Tribune reports that last Friday, while sitting beside Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, Wahlberg spoke on his beliefs and what he feels he has needed to ask forgiveness for.

As for what film he's asked God to forgive him for, Wahlberg answered:

"'Boogie Nights' is up there at the top of the list."

In that film, Wahlberg played Dirk Diggler, a particularly well-endowed porn star.

"I just always hope that God is a movie fan and also forgiving, because I've made some poor choices in my past."

Twitter had some feelings about this confession...

“God, please forgive me for giving a terrific performance in one of the greatest films ever made”

Mark Wahlberg prays that God forgives him for 'Boogie Nights,' suggesting this is a movie God would watch https://t.co/uP29bMCVHW

Some users felt other films were more worthy of forgiveness...

It's the best work he ever did. The Happening will send him straight to hell though.

He should be more concerned about #Ted2. There's no way God can forgive him for that. And, from what I heard. - same goes for #Transformers5

And what about that whole music career...

If I were him I'd be asking God to forgive me for the Funky Bunch

But maybe he was joking...?

Mark Wahlberg was probably joking about asking God's forgiveness for BOOGIE NIGHTS, just as he joked about asking Pope's forgiveness for TED

Some give him credit for learning from his mistakes...

But joke or not, there's one thing we can all agree on: we're good as long as he doesn't start repenting for making us all thirsty.
