Marvin R. Shanken Interviews Mark Wahlberg

September 20, 2023

Actor, producer, and entrepreneur Mark Wahlberg has just about done it all. He started his career in music, and then became one of the biggest movie stars in the world before expanding his reach and becoming a producer and businessman.

Most recently Wahlberg has turned his attention to the drinks market, making a hefty investment in Flecha Azul Tequila and a commitment to supporting the brand in a way that’s unlike most of his celebrity peers. Wahlberg is more than simply the face of the brand, meeting with restaurant and retail accounts himself to show off the product and conduct tastings. The primary difference is that he’s an A-list star who attracts a crowd everywhere he goes.

The multi-talented man joined Cigar Aficionado editor and publisher Marvin R. Shanken for an exclusive interview to talk about his biggest roles, making a name for himself in show business and his many entrepreneurial endeavors. All this week at cigaraficionado.com you can view video excerpts of the interview, which is published in full in the September/October issue.—Daniel Marsteller
