Mark Wahlberg has made a conscious effort to find a healthy work-life balance

Speaking to Us Weekly, he explained: "For me, everything I do now, it's for my kids. It's for their future."

Mark was actually joined by his family in Australia while he was filming Play Dirty, the new heist thriller film.

The movie star said: "I try to find that balance. They came to Australia while I was making this movie to visit."

Despite this, Mark still remains ambitious about his movie career.

The actor has already achieved lots of success, but he remains keen to "fulfill [his] creative endeavours".

He explained: "[I'm] trying to find that balance of spending quality time with them, and then also being able to fulfill my creative endeavours."

Mark is well-known for his disciplined lifestyle and intense workout efforts, and the actor previously explained that he maintains his health "the good old-fashioned way".

Reflecting on the recent rise of weight-loss jabs, Mark told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "To each his own, but I do encourage people to eat right and exercise.

"It's much more [of] a lifestyle change. You'd be surprised what you can accomplish when you're willing to do the work."

Mark is determined to manage his health and wellbeing in the "most sustainable" way.

He advised: "It will give you the longevity."

Despite this, Mark refuses to judge people who do use weight-loss supplements, such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.

The film star - who has been married to Rhea since 2009 - said: "Everybody has their own path. I don't knock anybody for making their own choices.

"But I prefer, and I've seen lots of people accomplish amazing things, ordinary people doing extraordinary things on a fitness base, and they're now encouraging other people that look like them. That's what I'm into."
