Mark Wahlberg played the role of a suburban dad in The Family Plan. However, his physique was anything but like a dad of three and a car salesman in Apple TV+’s hit action comedy.
In fact, his character Dan finds himself embroiled in a lot of threatening situations after his enemies from his past track him down and threaten to kill the former elite government assassin and his family. Regardless, Wahlberg, 52, was more than ready to get his hands dirty in action sequences thanks to his incredible physique, which he regularly showcases on the internet.
Mark Wahlberg Stuns Fans With His Incredible Physique
Mark Wahlberg is immensely popular for his action roles. While Tom Cruise, another action icon, often makes headlines for doing his character’s stunts on his own, Wahlberg regularly impresses viewers with his shredded physique – which is a result of his famous ‘4 a.m. club’.
In 2018, the Uncharted star shared his intense daily routine, which includes two workouts, the first of which begins at 4 in the morning. Since then, he has regularly shared videos of his workouts, encouraging his social media followers to also start their mornings on the right note.
It’s been six years since then, but Wahlberg, despite crossing the dreaded 50 mark, has maintained his routine. In fact, he appears more shredded than ever.
The Pain & Gain star recently shared a video of his training session and flexed his muscular physique. It was a full-body workout with a heavy emphasis on the back through exercises like lat pulldowns and seated cable rows.

In the video, Wahlberg was joined by his gym buddy, Rashid. He encouraged his friend to focus on his form instead of lifting heavier weights – a crucial advice every gym enthusiast should follow if they intend to efficiently gain muscles.
Mark Wahlberg’s Insane Physique May Come in Handy for His Upcoming Crime Movie
His no-nonsense work ethic is set to be reflected in his next role in Play Dirty, a crime thriller being helmed by Iron Man 3 director Shane Black. In the movie, he plays Parker, a straightforward and hardened professional thief.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, in an adaptation of Donald E. Westlake’s Parker novels, the main protagonist is looking for revenge after being double-crossed. This lands him an opportunity to get involved in the biggest heist of his career. But in his pursuit, he faces a South American dictator, the New York mob, and the world’s richest man.
In that case, it certainly makes sense that Wahlberg is training like he intends to become a one-man army.
Play Dirty will also feature Captain America: Brave New World star Rosa Salazar as the female lead.
