Mark Wahlberg has revealed that he still listens to the voicemails his mother left for him before she passed away, stating that “all I have now” are the voicemails.
Mark Wahlberg, who is 51 years old and whose filmography includes The Fighter, The Departed, and Lone Survivor, is widely regarded as one of the most iconic actors in all of Hollywood.
Nothing will adequately prepare someone for the death of their mother, even if they have a propensity for getting up at the crack of dawn to go to the gym and following a regimented schedule.
In an interview with TODAY before the end of 2018, the 51-year-old spoke candidly about his mother’s departure and described how he can continue to hear her voice through recordings of old messages she left for him.

“She left an impression on everyone she met,” said Wahlberg. She was a truly remarkable person. “She embodied the definition of inspiration. The only thing I have left are the recordings and voicemails she has left for me, which I frequently listen to.
Parental death is one of the most challenging experiences a person can have, and the actor has some excellent advice for those who still have both of their parents in their lives.
“I remind them to call them every day,” he continued. I instruct them to contact them daily. “Let them know how much you care about them, and make as much of an effort as you can to connect with them and be there for them.”
Mark Wahlberg will be able to catch a glimpse of his mother, who passed away in April 2021 at the age of 78, in repeat episodes of The Wahlburgers, the family’s reality program.
The celebrity sat down for an interview with Extra a year after his mother’s death and remarked, “It was challenging. Due to her severe illness, I returned to my birthplace to see her and bid her farewell. We continued to FaceTime each other. We were aware that it would transpire… I attempted to persevere and maintain as much optimism as possible.”
The actor spoke exceptionally well of his mother. He stated that she was an exceptional individual. “She taught us despite the difficulties we were experiencing and having to surmount. She took great pride in the fact that we were able to transform our lives.
In the autumn of 2018, Wahlberg relocated his family to Nevada, where he opened a second Wahlburgers restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip, according to Fox News Digital.

Wahlberg relocated to Las Vegas not only for his family, but also because he saw a great deal of commercial potential in the city. We are in the process of establishing a studio. We are working diligently to get shoe production up and running. According to his statement, “we intend to create a large number of jobs here.”
Wahlberg attributes his success to Nevada’s policies, which promote a superior quality of life and do not impose an income tax.
