Mark Wahlberg takes a dim view of the moralism and cancel culture that is rampant in Hollywood today. And this for the simple and good reason that he could himself have been a victim. That's why he didn't hesitate to get a role for a former inmate in his latest film, Spenser Confidential .
“He spent 16 years in prison. OK ? It came out and I put it in a movie, the actor told The Guardian. It could easily have been my life. Being in this situation and having nothing else - I certainly made a lot of terrible mistakes and I paid for those mistakes. "
A second chance
It must be said that Mark Wahlberg has good reason to believe that everyone has the right to a second chance. The youngest of nine siblings in a poor Boston family, the actor was already known to the police for his drug use at the age of 13.

He was then sentenced to two years in prison for assault in the 1980s, but only spent 45 days behind bars. An experience that then motivated him to change his life, allowing him to meet the success that we know him today.
