Mark Wahlberg Reveals 1 Surprising Film He Considers His Best Work Despite Being a 2-Time Oscar-Nominated Actor
The talented and versatile Mark Wahlberg has been a public figure for decades. Starting as a model, being in a band, and becoming an actor, Wahlberg has achieved success in all realms.
Films like Boogie Nights, The Perfect Storm, and Three Kings, among others established Wahlberg as one of the most loved actors in Hollywood. The star has won several accolades including two Academy Award nominations. However, Wahlberg considers this one film his best work, and the name will surprise many.
Mark Wahlberg Considers This Film His Best Work
Mark Wahlberg is known for playing more aggressive and violence-based roles. His vitae is filled with characters who are boxers or fighters. Given the star is a fitness freak, one would think action scenes and things involving strength must be his most enjoyable activities. Putting that hard-earned body to use, must feel fantastic.
However, the film Wahlberg called his best work is Ted. This answer goes way off with the general perception of Wahlberg. Ted starring Wahlberg alongside Mila Kunis, is a sweet story with minimal action. Certainly an interesting choice on Wahlberg’s part and has come as a surprise to many of his fans.
A grown adult living with his magical childhood teddy bear and girlfriend, only to have his relationship compromised by the said toy sounds like a serious underkill. But it seems like this is how it came to be.
How Did Ted Come to Be Mark Wahlberg’s Favorite Work?
Mark Wahlberg has found himself on the path of devotion to God. He has been involved in religious activities, attending mass every Sunday, praying daily, going to church regularly, etc. And in his newfound faith, the actor has turned his face away from violent acts and aggressive emotions.

Many would expect films like Boogie Nights to be his favorite work since it was films like these that catapulted him to fame. But in an interview with The Guardian, the model-turned-actor confessed to having regrets about these films. He said that these regrets stem from his previous works not aligning with the Catholicism to which he is so deeply devoted.
Wahlberg went from a violent racist in his teens to a peace-loving, church-going family man in his fifties. It is great to see an actor setting a real-life example for millions of fans across the world.
Ted is available for streaming on Freevee.
