Mark Wahlberg Opens Up About The Physical & Spiritual Journey To Play Stuart Long in 'Father Stu'

Mark Wahlberg gets in the middle of a group photo at the photo call for Father Stu held at The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills on Friday (April 1) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 50-year-old actor joined his co-stars Mel Gibson, Teresa Ruiz, and Jacki Weaver for the press event, alongside director Rosalind Ross.

In a new interview, Mark opened up about his “passion” to get the film made, which is based on the life of Stuart Long, a boxer-turned-priest who later battled a muscular disease.

“I would love to sit here and say — you know, chocolate chip cookies are my favorite — so I’d love to say that I had some chocolate chip cookies and wine at the end of the day,” Mark shared with CBS News about taking on the role of the former boxer, “but I had to eat and consume so many calories.”

He added that he “tried to do it in a healthy way, that by the time it came to having a little cheat meal, you didn’t wanna do anything other than just lay down. I mean, it felt so bad. But the journey — the spiritual journey, the physical journey — were such critical parts to the story.”

Father Stu opens in theaters on April 13.

Diego Luna & 'Narcos: Mexico' Cast Celebrate Season 2 Premiere - Watch Teaser Trailer!

Diego Luna keeps it cool and casual as he steps out for the special screening of his series Narcos: Mexico season two presented by Netflix at Netflix Offices on Thursday (February 6) in Los Angeles.

The 40-year-old actor was joined at the event by showrunner Eric Newman, and his co-stars Scoot McNairy, Teresa Ruiz, Jesse John Garcia, Alejandra Guilmant, Sosie Bacon, Andrés Londoño, Alex Patrick Knight, Miguel Rodarte, Matt Biedel, Alberto Zeni and Fernanda Urrejola, as well as executive producers Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro.

Narcos: Mexico season 2 continues the story of Miguel Ángel ​Félix Gallardo (Luna), now the Godfather of the first Mexican cartel – the Guadalajara cartel – as he struggles to maintain control, grow his empire, and reconcile the betrayals and sacrifices he had to make on his way to becoming El Padrino. As friction between the different ‘plazas” of his cartel rises, Fé​​lix’s control over the situation slips. Meanwhile, the death of DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Pena) at the hands of the cartel and corrupt politicians brings a hailstorm of retribution to Mexico. “Operation Leyenda” led by the dogged DEA agent Walt Breslin, whose methods aren’t always by-the-book, targets Fé​​lix Gallardo and his chief lieutenants, adding to the instability and volatility of the cartel.

Diego Luna and Michael Pena suit up to hit the red carpet at the season one premiere of their new series Narcos: Mexico held at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live on Wednesday (November 14) in Los Angeles.

Narcos: Mexico will explore the origins of the modern drug war by going back to its roots, beginning at a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose and disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers. Witness the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s as Félix Gallardo (Diego) takes the helm, unifying traffickers in order to build an empire. When DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael) moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post, he quickly learns that his assignment will be more challenging than he ever could have imagined.
