Mark Wahlberg: Celebrities need to shut up about politics
By Ryan Girdusky | November 30, 2016

During a luncheon to promote his new film Patriot’s Day, the actor was asked if he talked about politics. “No,” said the former rapper and that other celebrities shouldn’t either, reported the website Task and Purpose on Tuesday.

“A lot of celebrities did, do, and shouldn’t,” Wahlberg said to Task and Purpose, a website dedicated to veterans.

“You know, it just goes to show you that people aren’t listening to that anyway,” Wahlberg continued. “They might buy your CD or watch your movie, but you don’t put food on their table. You don’t pay their bills. 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. 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.”

I'm not a big Wahlberg fan, but this quote made me think more of him.   

[Royalty]

He did however claim that if he was on one of the hijacked planes on Sept 11th in NYC, that he would've killed the terrorists and he would've made a safe emergency landing.

[ratherbebig]

wahlberg is wrong.

celebrities are expert on politics and we shall all listen to what they have to say!

[Simple Simon]

Fuck Wahlberg, he lives in a Hollywood bubble, what doers he know?

[Thong Maniac]

wahlberg is wrong.

celebrities are expert on politics and we shall all listen to what they have to say!

message board guys who read "real legit sources"  are also experts too, on issues like the economy, science, etc. im glad im able to get the real hard truth from message boarders and celebs

[ratherbebig]

i heard wahlberg got a wig

how come he dont speak about that?

[BB]

Good on Wahlberg, when he's not beating down yellow folks, he's fighting for the common man.....

[Palumboism]

Fuck Wahlberg, he lives in a Hollywood bubble, what doers he know?

At least he admits there is a Hollywood bubble.  Most stars seem oblivious to that fact.  Case in point, Tom Cruise on Scientology.

At the 1:00 mark he talks about being the only one who can help when he drives by an accident.  

I'm glad Hollywood's here to give the rest of us advice on living.

it was a reference to Platos cave.

You sound like an expert on Scientology.  Tell us more.

Yup. And he got absolutely roasted for it on the net. No doubt it must have been a humbling experience for him. He also didn't want any part of the movie TED. Thought it was a complete joke even while making it. Seth McFarland basically talked him into it almost guaranteeing him that people will love him in that movie. Seth knew it was going to be a hit with all his Family Guy viewers and that it would get a semi following. Wahlberg reluctantly did it and was obviously glad he did...

[honest]

Good guy.

[judochoke]

yea, he would have saved the day if he was on one of the 9/11 planes. sure pal. what he is about 5 foot 6 maybe. fucking punk. stopped watching his movies after i read that statement

That's refreshing.

I have no doubt he would have, him or Liam Neeson

"and I exist in the real world" Mark Walberg - whose net worth in 2013 was $200 million - enlisted mansion-maker to the stars Richard Landry to create his dream home. Here is a photo of Mark Walberg's "real world" home. He's full of bullshit!

I can understand having the beautiful property but what "real world" guy needs a house that size?

[SOMEPARTS]

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ol' Marky just getting on the winning side after the result instead of looking like a crying baby like the rest of Hollywood. Smart. No need to hate his success, socialism didn't take hold yet.

That is an average vacation house for getbiggers.

Horrendous. Complexity for the sake of complexity. Clearly 200 million still cannot buy taste.
