Mark Wahlberg Promotes Brother’s Documentary ‘Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality’

Actor Mark Wahlberg took to Instagram to express his support for his brother Jim Wahlberg’s latest project – a documentary about Carlo Acutis, a young man on the path to sainthood in the Catholic Church. The film, titled “Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality,” is set to hit theaters on April 27.

In his Instagram post, Wahlberg shared: “So proud of my brother @jimbow36, producer of the powerful new documentary @carloacutisfilm. It’s more than a movie—it’s a movement of faith, helping young people and their parents navigate the digital world. Carlo’s life shows us that holiness is possible—even with sneakers on and a laptop in your hand.”

The post featured what appears to be promotional material for the documentary, highlighting the film’s focus on Carlo Acutis, who has become known as a potential “millennial saint” within Catholicism.

Carlo Acutis was an Italian teenager with exceptional computer programming skills who documented Eucharistic miracles around the world before his death from leukemia in 2006 at just 15 years old. In 2020, Acutis was beatified by the Catholic Church, a step toward canonization. He has become particularly significant as a potential patron saint for the internet generation, showing how faith and technology can coexist.

The documentary, according to Wahlberg’s post, aims to present Acutis’s life as a “roadmap” for navigating faith in the digital age. His brother Jim, who produced the film, has focused on creating content that bridges religious messages with contemporary issues.

Mark Wahlberg has been increasingly vocal about his Catholic faith in recent years. The actor, known for films like “The Departed,” “Ted,” and “Transformers,” has spoken openly in interviews about how his faith has guided his life and career decisions.

This promotion of his brother’s faith-based documentary aligns with Wahlberg’s recent public expressions of spirituality. Just days before this post, on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, Wahlberg shared religious messages on Instagram encouraging followers to “STAY PRAYED UP” while promoting the prayer app Hallow, for which he serves as a partner.

In his Easter post on April 12, Wahlberg simply wrote “HAPPY EASTER STAY PRAYED UP,” demonstrating his commitment to sharing his faith with his substantial social media following.

The Wahlberg brothers’ collaboration on faith-based projects represents an interesting evolution for both of their careers. Mark Wahlberg, who began his career as rapper “Marky Mark” before transitioning to modeling and eventually acting, has become one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars with a career spanning over three decades.

Jim Wahlberg has carved his own path in the industry, focusing more on production and direction, particularly with projects that align with his faith and values. This documentary represents a significant project in his portfolio.

The actor ended his post with enthusiasm, writing: “Big shoutout to all those who helped bring Carlo’s incredible story to life in such a real and moving way. Let’s go 🙏🎬” He also encouraged fans to get their tickets for the April 27 release at CarloAcutisfilm.com/tickets.

Beyond his religious content, Wahlberg continues to maintain his diverse business interests. Recent Instagram posts show him promoting his tequila brand Flecha Azul at venues like Stubborn Seed at Resorts World Las Vegas and creating specialty cocktails for the Boston Marathon.

He also regularly shares content about his fitness routine and workout apparel brand Municipal, often posting videos of his legendary 4 AM workouts with motivational captions like “It will come back if you work hard enough” and “Don’t let anything stop you from getting in there.”

This balance between his faith, fitness regime, business ventures, and acting career demonstrates Wahlberg’s multifaceted public persona. The promotion of his brother’s documentary adds another dimension to his public image as someone who supports faith-based media that addresses contemporary issues.

As “Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality” prepares for its theatrical release, Wahlberg’s endorsement may help bring attention to this documentary about a young man whose story bridges traditional Catholic values with the modern digital world – a balance that seems to resonate with Wahlberg’s own public journey of faith.
