In addition to acting/directing/producing high-profile big-budget films, Wahlberg is dedicated to his work in the gym. In fact, he’s used his training as a tool to transform his body for various movie projects.

He was tasked with portraying a boxer who reshaped his life after becoming a priest.
Known for middle-of-the-night workouts, Wahlberg maintains a strict schedule, which he credits for his exceptional shape and condition.
