If I was to tell you Mark Wahlberg was one of the most sensible celebrities in Hollywood, many of you might react something like this.

But it’s true.
When Wahlberg spoke with Task and Purpose during a luncheon last week, he was asked about all the actors and Hollywood celebrities who were quick to speak out against President-elect Donald Trump.
Wahlberg said, “A lot of celebrities did, do, and shouldn’t.”
“A lot of Hollywood is living in a bubble. They’re pretty out of touch with the common person, the everyday guy out there providing for their family,” Wahlberg continued.
He added, “Me, I’m very aware of the real world. I come from the real world and I exist in the real world. And although I can navigate Hollywood and I love the business and the opportunities it’s afforded me, I also understand what it’s like not to have all that.”
Wahlberg also touched on the country’s attitude toward police, saying, “Look, when I was doing the wrong thing, I certainly didn’t like the police. But I like the relationship that I have with them now. I also know that I’m doing the right thing.”

When speaking about his upcoming film and the heroism of law enforcement officers, Wahlberg said, “The overall purpose of police and military is protect us. It’s an amazing thing, and every chance I get I want to thank them for their service.”
I like this guy.
Oh yeah, and let’s not forget this.
