Mark Wahlberg Says His Daughter Changed His Perception Towards Women

Known for movies like “The Fighter”, “The Departed” and “Patriots Day”, Mark Wahlberg credits his daughter for changing him and the actor says he’s now more “respectful” towards women. Wahlberg has children Ella, Michael, Brendan, and Frace, with his wife Rhea Durham. In an interview, Mark said, “My firstborn being a girl completely changed me. I have friends with only boys and they’ll be like, ‘Check that out’ or ‘Look at her’ and I’ll say, ‘Dude, have some respect, that’s somebody’s daughter.” The actor says he wants his children to follow their passions, “I’m sitting across from my son just yesterday and I’m like, ‘Dude if you don’t work hard in school right now, you will regret it later. You always give it 110 percent then you’ll never have to live with regret.’ I’m speaking from experience." The actor says he doesn’t want to force his children to go to church every Sunday with him but he hopes his faith inspires them. “They know that’s the most important thing for Dad, that’s how he starts his day, every day. So hopefully those things will rub off them.”
