Mark Wahlberg won't "impose" his faith on his children. The 50-year-old actor - who has Ella, 18, Michael, 16, Brendan, 13, and Grace, 12, with wife Rhea Durham - won't force his children to go to church but hopes they can look at him and see the positive affect his Christian beliefs have had on him and his life.

He said: "It's a tricky thing with my faith. I wanted my kids to get a Catholic education, but I don't want to impose going to church on them and all that stuff.

I just want to be an example. "For them to see that Dad can't miss church, or can't miss prayer time, can't miss his daily devotional, and just my routine as a whole, that hopefully, one day when they're kind of trying to figure it out, they'll realise, 'Well, that thing works for Dad.

Maybe it's worth trying. ' "But I don't want to force them to do it, because I think they may resent it and push back. "So, I'm just trying to be an example and show them that it works for me in all the good things that have happened in my life, including them and their mom, has been provided to me by God, when I was prepared for it and ready for it. " The 'Father Stu' actor hopes he can "be an example" for his children and other people to look up to.
