The two actors appeared together in a video and photos wishing followers a “Happy Ash Wednesday” while encouraging them to stay committed to prayer during the Lenten season. Their appearance was part of their participation in the 40-day prayer challenge organized through the Hallow app, a campaign that has gained traction among Christian audiences in recent years.

Observers quickly noted the striking similarities between the pair, particularly the nearly identical ash crosses on their foreheads — a traditional symbol marking the beginning of Lent. The resemblance sparked lighthearted reactions online, with some comparing the moment to a “twinning” or “who wore it best” scenario.

The initiative also connects to a broader trend of public figures sharing their faith-based practices during Lent. Actor Chris Pratt has previously participated in the same prayer challenge, contributing to its growing visibility.

While the visual similarities between Wahlberg and Roumie became a focal point of online discussion, the message behind their posts centered on encouraging reflection, prayer, and spiritual commitment throughout the Lenten period, according to Aleteia.
