Mark Wahlberg does not hide his religious beliefs; he has been rather vocal about it lately.
The actor appeared on the Today Show on Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Throughout the interview, he spoke with Savannah Guthrie about his choice not to impose his religion on others, especially his children.
“I don’t want to push others into accepting my beliefs. Therefore, I don’t. This is a more serious sin.”
“Even though it is unpopular in my work, I won’t compromise on my principles.”
Guthrie, 51, was wearing ashes in the form of a cross on his forehead when they spoke.
Catholics observe Ash Wednesday as a day of fasting and don ashes to commemorate the occasion.
