Mario Lopez Prioritizes Faith in His Life and Career
Mario Lopez, known for his role as A.C. Slater on Saved by the Bell, has always been open about the importance of faith in his life. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 51-year-old actor shared how his beliefs have shaped both his personal and professional journey in Hollywood. Lopez emphasized that his faith is something he proudly speaks about, and it’s a cornerstone of his family life. He and his wife Courtney are raising their three children in a faith-based environment, with all of them attending Catholic school.
Faith, Family, and Career Success
As Lopez has gotten older, he credits his growing spirituality for his continued success. He refers to building “spiritual muscle” over the years and believes his faith has played a key role in his good fortune. In addition to sharing his beliefs on social media, Lopez frequently posts inspirational messages related to his faith. One recent post showed him attending a Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, showcasing his deep connection to his faith.
In 2018, Mario Lopez took his commitment to faith even further by being baptized in the Jordan River. This moving experience reinforced his connection to his spiritual journey. Lopez also shared how his strong family values helped him avoid the “child star curse,” attributing his grounded approach to the example set by his hardworking parents.
Looking back on his career, Lopez expressed relief that social media wasn’t around when he first became famous, as it would have added additional pressure. Recently, he starred in Once Upon a Christmas, a holiday film that featured his wife and son, further demonstrating the importance of faith and family in his career.
