Mark Wahlberg says he can't keep working as hard as he is at the moment.
From the start of 2021 to now, he has acted in seven movies that have been released or will be released - Infinite, Uncharted, Father Stu, Me Time, Arthur the King, Our Man From Jersey and The Family Plan.
He combines his movie work with various business ventures, such as investing in tequila company Flecha Azul and becoming Chief Brand Officer for F45 Training.
It has been non-stop fame and working for Wahlberg since he started as a rapper with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, and he could be ready to wind down his career.
"Well, I'm certainly working harder now than ever," he said in an interview with Cigar Aficionado.
"Certain businesses, you kind of build them, pass them on or you exit. Hopefully my kids, we'll see what their interests are, but I don't think that I'll be acting that much longer at the pace I am now."
"That's for sure. Because that's the most difficult thing."
Why Wahlberg became a producer
Wahlberg is a noted movie producer, not just on his own projects but a variety of others including Prisoners and Boardwalk Empire.
For his own career, he said it was necessary to get projects he wanted off the ground.
"I started becoming a producer out of necessity," he explained.
"I didn't want to sit around waiting for Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise or whoever was already established before me and were the guys at the time, and Leo (DiCaprio) to go and pass on a movie until I could get my hands on it. I was always proactive in trying to find material and things that I could produce, that I knew was right for me, create my own destiny."
