We’ve been crushing on Mark Wahlberg since the Funky Bunch days. Even in his 50s, he still looks great. Of course, we have to give credit where credit is due. Mark obviously takes care of himself and has prioritized fitness and nutrition. Mark also takes his career seriously and has made major transformations in roles.

He lost a tremendous amount of weight in 2014’s The Gambler. Then, he put on 30 pounds to play the titular role of Father Stu. But the yo-yo dieting has nothing on Mark’s most recent change. His new movie Flight Risk debuts this weekend, and he shared a sneak peek of his new look in his Instagram stories.

Mark Wahlberg Doesn’t Look Like Himself When He’s Bald
Mark Wahlberg looks more like somebody’s uncle than who resembles a celebrity. Mark had to shave part of his head for the movie to create a receding hairline. Instead of using a bald cap, Mark committed to the style. He told People in June 2024, “There was no bald cap. I shaved the middle and left the horseshoe around the sides. We just shaved it. They would shave the top as close to the scalp as possible every day, obviously, because we didn’t have any stubble or anything. So I just hid it with a hat,” Mark said.
He first shared the look on Instagram last July, and fans loved it.
One commended his dedication to the craft, writing, “Commitment!! And a gorgeous shine to ‘er I might add.”
A fan wrote, “You’re too funny. There’s no one like you keeping it real, a true fan always.”
This person thinks bald is beautiful, “I knew if I waited long enough, going Bald would be cool…”
Of course plenty of fans can’t wait to see Mark Wahlberg in Flight Risk whther he’s bald or not. “That movie looks good! I just wonder how you do all you do? U must sleep like 3 hours a day.”
