LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Mark Wahlberg, who recently celebrated his 52nd birthday, is renowned for his strict diet and exercise regimen. In his pursuit of longevity and a healthier lifestyle, the actor has made a conscious decision to abstain from alcohol for over 100 days. Recognizing that he is "more than halfway" through his life, Wahlberg is committed to making choices that promote his well-being.

When asked what his cheat meal would be, he told Poeple, "I've been on the straight and narrow. I haven't had a drink or anything for 104 days today. So I would say probably some Italian food, a nice wine, and a nice Fletcha Azul tequila."

'I'm definitely past the halfway point'

He added, "I'm not ignorant to the fact that I'm definitely past the halfway point. I know in order to be more flexible and have more longevity, for me, it's all about mobility and flexibility. When you start getting older, you're thinking about lung capacity, thinking about bone density, you know, being able to at least still develop new lean muscle. So those are things that I definitely think about."

Wahlberg, a father of four children, Ella, 19, Michael, 17, Brendan, 14, and Grace, 13, shared that his youngest child, Grace, shares his enthusiasm for fitness. He expressed that Grace is most similar to him in terms of embracing a healthy lifestyle. Wahlberg also mentioned that his other children have taken notice and are now contemplating ways to incorporate fitness into their own lives.

'She's got it all figured out'

"The one who is most like me is my baby, Grace. She works out now. She's an equestrian. She now wants to go up in meters and to be a Grand Prix Jumper. She's got to train. She's doing things that my other kids are kind of now starting to think, 'Well, we've got to start doing something because she's got it all figured out, what she wants to do and how she wants to do it. And she's doing the work'."

Wahlberg explained that his motivation to launch 'Municipal', a sports utility gear company, stemmed from his passion for creating and constructing new things. "I’ve always kind of wanted to be involved in creating my own thing. I’ve partnered up with various brands in the past, but in order to make something I felt was cool and functional, and obviously, I really love building brands, I wanted to do my own thing. It took a while to get here, but here we are," he said.
