Why Mark Wahlberg Stopped Smoking
While accepting Variety‘s Indie Impact Award at Sunday’s Palm Springs Film Festival, The Fighter actor, 39, joked that the trophy looked like a bong, then quickly added, “But I don’t use those anymore.”
His wife, Rhea Durham, and four kids are the reason for that.
“I stopped smoking weed for my kids,” explained the star, who also said that he’s replaced weekend partying with going to church.
“One day, we were driving and you could smell it from somewhere. My daughter asked what the smell was so I told her it was a skunk. Then she said, ‘Sometimes Daddy smells like that!’ to me and my wife. So I knew I had to quit.”
Do you agree with Wahlberg quitting for his family?
