Mark Wahlberg Opened Up About His Fluctuating Weight
Mark Wahlberg admitted that gaining weight for a role is 'fun for about a week.'
Although Wahlberg has been known as a heartthrob since his early '90s debut, he recently opened up about the struggles of his fluctuating weight, saying that gaining pounds for acting roles is only "fun for about a week."
“I’m actually in the middle of making, or preparing to make, a movie right now where I have to put on weight. I’m eating everything and anything in sight,” Wahlberg explained during an appearance on The View last month.
While he enjoys a break from his usual strict routine, he noted that after a week of an indulgent diet, "my feet are swollen when I wake up, my hands are swollen."
Mark Wahlberg Called 30-Pound Weight Gain 'Not Healthy'
Mark Wahlberg finds it more challenging to gain weight for a role than to lose it.
Reflecting on the 30 pounds he gained for the 2022 film Father Stu, he called it "really difficult," as it's "not healthy" to go to such extremes.
“I vowed the last time I did it, about a year ago, that I wasn’t going to do it again and here I am," Wahlberg revealed during the daytime program. "But it’s kind of what the part requires and so, I got to get through.”
While cohost Joy Behar challenged the actor, saying he could easily go on Ozempic and lose the weight, Wahlberg said that wasn't the hardest part.
“For what it’s worth, I don’t have a hard time losing it, even with me, with fasting and exercise. But putting it on is just hard," he replied. "You don’t want to eat when you already are full. And I started to enjoy the things I hadn’t enjoyed in awhile when I realized they kind of make you feel bad, ultimately, at the end of the day.”
