Agree 100% It was a very good interview, and I think Mark W sold short his imitation. It wasn't bad at all. Also, thank you Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and God and King, for bringing me into Your one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic church. It's the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me and I am ETERNALLY grateful!
The only one thing was the imitation. That would have hit a nerve, personally, but no hard feelings, he just added: I’m used to it, see you later and at the same time kinda looked away. That is all that would have been awkward, but yes, very good interview, short and sweet. Also Mark didn’t mean it to come off mean spirited and even bought it up in the end, apologizing for the bad accent. Looking forward to watching!
Nailed it!!! I like Mr Wahlburg ok as an actor. But don’t look to him for spiritual inspiration. Mr Fradd may be less famous, but is more inspirational spiritually because he shares his humanness and beautiful growth in his faith! Love that!
@@user-di8vz5ec1i - he was on a catholic show and seemed bored when asked about his faith life. He didn’t become animated and joyful. Still not who I would consult in spirituality. He’s just another human struggling through life. But I’m underwhelmed at ‘famous’ people, especially actors and most all musicians.
@@j2muw667 I don't think he was bored, this was most likely just one of a LONG day of media interviews and it's hard to be enthusiastic back to back to back. Just how I see it I guess.
And the pope is the catholic leader that sits at the same table with those who dont believe Jesus is the only way to God. Never call anyone father on this earth other than God the Father
@@charlotteh8174 You seem fun. Also, you may want to proofread and edit your comment. I sincerely hope your day improves. With love, Another Member of the Species
I started my Catholic journey in 02/2012 and started RCIA, a 2 yr program/commitment and I have never looked back or regretted it. Once you have faith and believe in God (the Trinity) and read the word you will NEVER fear death because you know the truth.
I agree. Matt's a great interviewer and always looks very confident in that role, but interviewing a movie star like Mark Walburg has to be daunting even for someone like him
@@Anyone690 He was in the middle of 3 or 4 guys and my buddy I was with was so shocked to see him as we passed right by him said aloud "ITS MARK WAHLBERG" and cool as you like Mark replied "hey guys, how's it going" without even looking up. We were walking back from class through the square and Mark was headed into the Vatican. Turns out he was filming a movie in Rome at the time.
I was surprised several years ago when I learned that he attends Mass daily... and on movie sets away from home he finds a way to attend Mass whether privately or publicly. I cannot wait to see this movie!
We're going to the premier tonight here in Helena, MT and we can't wait to see how he portrays Fr. Stu. My husband and I knew Fr. Stu and helped his parents become Catholic before Kathleen and Fr. Stu passed. We think of him fondly here at the Cathedral of St. Helena. Can't wait to see how Mel portrays Bill as well!!
I grew up listening to Mark's Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (and his bros, New Kids on the Block) ... I've always knew that there is something special about him ... Am so glad that he is a faithful Catholic and both Mark and Mel (Gibson) are currently on the top of my list of inspiration in doing something good for the glory God... Amen...
Cool that you're getting the word out for this faith-based movie that I've never heard of! Seriously, I'm a grandma who dumped Hollywood long ago. Was actually never into it. There aren't many movies I enjoy. But I do enjoy faith-based movies that are solid.
@@Laflamablanca76 most will not understand your question. They are far from studying scripture as we are told to do to show ourselves approved by God. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. It would be better to ask them if and how they got saved. I pray they come to the truth. 1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures Blessings to you All Glory to God
It would be incredible if we could get a movie about Father Emil Kapaun! His story is incredible and I think it would be so great for the big screen. What’s better than a heroic military chaplain who died with no food in his belly but with joy in his heart?? And oh yeah, he was given a Medal of Honor for his courageous actions.
@@fitting7u Did you watch Wahlberg's interview with Raymond Arroyo!? That was a great interview! Together with Gibson and the writer/director. It was hilarious! Lol. Did you see when the young director was called an old soul...she answered, yeah hanging around with these two old guys, pointing to Gibson and Wahlberg. Ha! Ha! At the end of the interview you could see that Arroyo and Wahlberg were chums...real chums!! .....\ This interview with Fradd?...yeah, it was ok.
@@italuswikiano1191 Thank you Italus. I did not see his interview with Raymond Arroyo but I will look for it. Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson are good Catholics.
I'm so grateful for the film, especially since my nephew who is a seminarian has been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. He has a lot to look forward to in this film, as do I. God bless you both.
Love Mark Wahlberg and how his pointing people to Jesus ❤️ Great interview very down to earth. As a Catholic am looking forward to seeing this movie and bringing my daughter's along to something that is positive. We really enjoyed uncharted as I there no swearing or sex. Perfect PG movie for my little family🍿
Dear Laura, just to let you know, there is a lot of swearing in the movie---Fr. Stu was a very raw and gritty person, and they don't shy away from that. Maybe see it for yourself before discerning whether it would be appropriate for your daughters, depending how young they are. Blessings!

This is my No.1 movie of 2022. It was absolutely awesome. What a wonderful story! Would love to have had the opportunity to meet Fr. Stu. Mark did a wonderful job of telling the story. So glad I watched it!
I just went to see this film tonight. I wrestle with my faith but during lockdown I've started praying again. I had no idea Mark was a Catholic. I found this film so inspiring, I've been crying since I came home from both the inspiration of father stu and also how sad it was what happened to him. Such an inspiration of a man. I think even if you aren't a Catholic you would be so inspired by this story of hope. I have to say Marks performance was definitely Oscar worthy! He really really should get the Oscar, he put so much into this role. It would be nice if the Oscars recognised films like this. Films not about huge stars who live crazy lives but ordinary people who live life in an extraordinary way. Fantastic film x
I braced for an awkward moment that never materialized. It was a great interview! We can’t expect that every faithful Catholic is prepared to launch into a deep dive on theology or spill their guts on how grace works in their lives. Most Catholics don’t have words for our experience even when we have good prayer habits, remain close to the sacraments, and cultivate a closeness to our Lord. We are out here living our lives in a secular world so it’s not a muscle we flex as often as professional podcasters and apologists. The questions were good and the answers felt sincere. Thanks for this interview.
In the first half of the 20th century there were many wonderful movies made about Catholic priests and nuns that inspired and also challenged us. People crave some good news about our Faith and our many, many Saints, great priests and religious throughout history. You could never run out of material.
I met Mark Wahlberg at a pro-life fundraiser about 10 years ago. Pretty fun meeting great, faithful Catholic men who are celebrities. I also met Gary Sinise and Jim Caveizel, two other good Catholic male celebrities.
Excellent movie PR interview. Good questions, on point, didn't waste the guy's time, got in and got out. Americans really like accents... and we can't help trying them out.
What I love is how much Matt Fradd has grown as an interviewer. I rewatched an old interview he did with Fr Mike Schmitz and Matt straight up interrupted Fr Mike after almost every question. Now, I'd go as far as to say that Matt is one of the best listeners of any Catholic channel/podcast.
I think this was just a long day of interviews and media he did back to back (hence why it is so short). Hard to be enthusiastic like that but I would like to see him more joyful for sure
Great interview, Matt! I'm looking forward to watching the movie. Mark Wahlberg is not perfect. He's a work in progress just like the rest of us. I commend him for wanting to do more faith-based projects.
Wow! What a great interview: I’m a Buddhist and it means so much to me when a men starts it’s day from a prayer 🙏! Thank you for bringing it up to a community of “non believers “
Praise God! I loved this. I can relate. I love my Catholic faith too and it's refreshing to hear an actor attribute the good things that have happened to him to God and his faith. He's so right, God is just waiting for each of us to turn back to Him.
Thanks Mark you are an insperation to all Good Men of a christian faith. I have been a practising Catholic faith for ever. Im 69yrs old just went to 17 teenth silent retreat. Wonderful experiance would like to see you there. Stay true with Your Love. You are a great actor and a wonderful Human bean!!!! Peace Out and Love MMLZZZ
As a former journalist, I honestly don't think you were awkward at all. I interviewed Aretha Franklin once and could barely get a word out. After 8 minutes exactly, she said "I'm done with this interview" and hung up. ahahahahha. Humbling.
@@deliamcmahon4603 I did, Delia. It was via phone. She wasn't nice. And I was horribly nervous. So it was a terrible combination. I ended up writing a column about how awkward I was. It got a lot of laughs and sold tickets to her show. But she lost me as a fan. (I'm sure she was devastated. hahahaha)
Aretha's loss !! They say you should never meet your idol, must add never interview them by phone either. 🤣 She obviously forgot her life before she was famous. Sad this happens to people.
Mark and Matt, if you are checking in(lol)- Two great subjects to follow up for upcoming Catholic themed movies based on real characters: The life of NYPD police officer Steven McDonald. Shot and paralyzed from the neck down, forgiving his assailant and turning the rest of his life to a mission of forgiveness. Another great subject of forgiveness, the story of Imaculee Ilibagiza and her survival in Rwanda and the forgiveness she showed to those who killed her family and friends. Will be praying that those with the influence and the talent to make these sort of stories come to life will do so. Can't wait to see Father Stu!
Man. I’ve always loved his acting when I could put he was catholic it was one of those… he’s with us type things. Hahaha be blessed y’all! Great interview!
As a NZer, I am naturally reluctant to compliment an Aussie…..🤪 but Mr Fradd this was quite possibly the best iv I’ve seen in along time. Your channel is pure minty freshness with a zesty, faith filled tang. Awesome! And good on Mark Wahlberg - he’s a real role model now and hope he stays that way.

So cool that you got to interview Mark!!!! Not awkward at all !
Wow! This really is surprising! And with Matt Fradd at that! Love it!
Dear Mr Waghlberg, thank you for your great and courageous testimony, may you walk in joy health and peace with Christ, blessings Fr voy
As a NZer, I am naturally reluctant to compliment an Aussie…..🤪 but Mr Fradd this was quite possibly the best iv I’ve seen in along time. Your channel is pure minty freshness with a zesty, faith filled tang. Awesome! And good on Mark Wahlberg - he’s a real role model now and hope he stays that way.
I can't wait to see this movie
Not awkward, y’all are straight to the point that our faith carries us through. Thank you for all the work you do! Coming at you from Utah:)
Praise GOD Praise GOD. It's so great to hear actors talk about their faith in God.
Honestly thought this was going to be an April Fool's thing. Pretty cool, sir! You hit the big time!
loved how the Aussie actress, Jackie Weaver, is in it too - top notch!
Loved the interview on patreon! Can’t wait to see the movie!
I will go watch the movie because of this interview, so thanks. 👍
Great interview Matt! I didn’t think it was awkward at all!!
