London, July 30 (IANS) American actor Mark Wahlberg has been honoured with a star at Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The ‘Boogie Nights’ actor insists he couldn’t believe it when he was first told he would receive the prestigious accolade.
‘When I heard I was getting this star, I felt like it was a practical joke,’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted him as saying.
Wahlberg credited his success in Hollywood to rediscovering his Catholic faith.
He said: ‘I was raised around the Church, but then I strayed off and started hanging out with guys in the neighbourhood.
‘When I got into trouble, I turned to God. Once I started to refocus my faith, really good things started happening for me.
‘And even when bad things happened, it was a lot easier to deal with. It’s become the most important part of my life.’
