REFORMED bad boy Mark Wahlberg is dedicated to attending church each day -- even during his hectic Australian tour with Will Ferrell to promote their new film The Other Guys.
Wahlberg, 39, went to St Mary's Cathedral Catholic church in inner Sydney yesterday wearing his golf clothes after a game with Ferrell.
"I love golf and I love church. I do both every day,'' the committed Catholic, former rapper and Calvin Klein underwear model said as he entered the cathedral for 20 minutes of prayer.
Wahlberg, who was raised a Roman Catholic in Boston, Massachusetts, is a former drug addict who had several run-ins with police as a teenager.
But he cleaned up his image and has settled down wife Rhea Durham and their four children.
The actor, formerly known as Marky Mark during his earlier years as a rap musician with the band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, arrived in Sydney on Sunday.
"Anchorman" star Ferrell, 43, jetted in from Los Angeles yesterday and joined Wahlberg and their entourage for a round of golf at Rose Bay's Royal Sydney Golf Club.
The group played 18 holes and the loser - one of their entourage - had to dive in to the Sydney Harbour back at the Park Hyatt hotel where they were staying.
Ferrell and Wahlberg will be flying to the Gold Coast, on Wednesday to present a screening of their new film at the Australian Movie Convention.
"The Other Guys" is a comedy about two mismatched police detectives who have trouble getting along. The movie was released in the U.S. earlier this month and is due to hit Australian theatres in September.
The movie topped the U.S. box office when it debuted two weeks ago and is expected to make AU$130 million, showcasing Wahlberg's growing comedic skills and rebooting Ferrell's stalled career.
