Mark Wahlberg has a confession to make: he's a pot smoker.
Well, he was. While accepting Variety's Indie Impact Award at Sunday's Palm Springs Film Festival, The Fighter actor, 39, joked that the trophy looked like a bong, then quickly added, "But I don't use those anymore."

The reason? His brood of four tots with wife Rhea Durham.
"I stopped smoking weed for my kids," explained the star, who added that he's replaced weekend partying with church-going.

"One day, we were driving and you could smell it from somewhere. My daughter asked what the smell was so I told her it was a skunk. Then she said, 'Sometimes Daddy smells like that!' to me and my wife. So I knew I had to quit."

8nothing like a little herb once in a while. but good for him anyways!!
Glad he quit, he shouldnt have started to begin with. I think it's sad when parents do drugs, some even do it in front of their kids.
Good for him. I love, love love him. My Beantown hottie. The only real man in Hwood.
Smart man!
his kids will grow up one day....... 2Hits&theJointTurnsGreenCentralStation http://tiny.cc/4skh9 2 Hits&Green CentralStationT-PotPartyTime http://tiny.cc/rdlhx
He'll be back.
I wish my husband's kids would get a clue like that around THEIR kids!
It's also a good idea to not use marijuana seeing it's illegal & all. Glad he stopped & also glad he stopped his real life physical violence antics.
