WHETHER YOU KNOW HIM FROM THE MARK Y MARK DAYS, Boogie Nights, or Ted, Mark Wahlberg has been a Hollywood fixture for over three decades at this point. The durability of his career hasn’t come about by accident: Wahlberg is very open about his dedication to hard work and constant improvement. That said, when we met up last month, he managed to bring an element of ease to our conversation – and the tequila didn’t hurt. That would be Flecha Azul Tequila, a brand that Wahlberg decided to back after becoming friends with its founders, Aron Marquez and first-generation Mexican-American pro golfer Abraham Ancer. In addition to (or in spite of) his new ventures in the liquor business, Wahlberg sticks to an extremely strict training and filming schedule. Speaking to GQ, he broke down exactly what his diet includes, what keeps him motivated, and his biggest pet peeve on film sets.
GQ: Are you still a super early-riser?
Mark Wahlberg: I try to be – I woke up today pretty early, at 3am. Coming from the West Coast to the East Coast and that time change, and taking a red eye flight kind of threw me off. In a perfect world, I get eight hours, so if I wake up at 4am, I go to bed at 8pm.
GQ: How would your describe your overall diet philosophy?
