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.

Based on a true story, Father Stu is an unflinchingly honest, funny and ultimately uplifting drama about a lost soul who finds his purpose in a most unexpected place. When an injury ends his amateur boxing career, Stuart Long (Wahlberg) moves to L.A. dreaming of stardom. While scraping by as a supermarket clerk, he meets Carmen (Ruiz), a Catholic Sunday school teacher who seems immune to his bad-boy charm.

Determined to win her over, the longtime agnostic starts going to church to impress her. But surviving a terrible motorcycle accident leaves him wondering if he can use his second chance to help others find their way, leading to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a Catholic priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church officials and his estranged parents (Gibson and Weaver), Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way.

Directed and written by Rosalind Ross, Father Stu will be out in theaters on Good Friday, April 15, 2022.

He finds work first building sets, then as an apprentice editor obsessed with wielding the power of moving images. As his involvement in the creative process deepens, so does his fascination with a tragic screen goddess named Soledad. Together they discover just how hard it is to live in the blurred boundary between reality and illusion.

Jacki Weaver is firing back at Anjelica Huston.

In an interview this week, Anjelica basically trashed the plot of Jacki‘s new movie Poms and said it’s not a movie she’d want to do.

“I’m looking for movies that impress me in some way, that aren’t apologetically humble or humiliating like, ‘Band of cheerleaders gets back together for one last hurrah,’ you know,” Angelica told Vulture. “An old-lady cheerleader movie. I don’t like that kind of thing. If I’m going to be an old lady—and I’m sort of touching old lady these days—at least I want to be a special old lady.”

Jacki responded to the comments in an interview with Vanity Fair.

“I just laughed,” Jacki said. “And then I said, ‘Well, she can go fuck herself.’ I was kind of disappointed. I had always been an admirer of Anjelica. And I thought, ‘That’s a bit mean and petty.’”

She added with a laugh, “I would say she must be going through menopause, but she must have had that ages ago.”
