The 32-year-old "Filly Brown" star, who will next be seen in "Deepwater Horizon" with Wahlberg, opened about the bond she formed with him on the sets, reported Entertainment Tonight.
"One thing I find extremely empowering about Mark is that he doesn't want to do it alone. He wants to help everyone around him, uplift everyone around him," she said.
Rodriguez said the "Ted" star respects all people, who have done a lot of struggle in their lives, because he has gone through the same thing.
"He got the idea that it was hard and I pushed through. It wasn't just hard as a curvy leading lady, but it was hard as a woman. It was hard as somebody that came from the hood. He gets the struggle, and he could see it in someone else," she added.
