Mark Wahlberg took to Instagram on Friday to show off his incredibly ripped figure after revealing he struggled to lose weight after filming Father Stu.
The 50-year-old actor filmed a video of himself shirtless, flaunting his abs in the mirror to promote his brand Performance Inspired.
Raising his arms to flex his impressive biceps, he bragged: ‘This is 50’.

The Uncharted star then took an electric razor and began to shave his moustache, saying: ‘Guess what? This s*** is gone’.
Mark recently discussed his struggle to lose the two stone he gained for his role in Father Stu.
The talented actor is amongst the ranks of Christian Bale, Jared Leto and Jake Gyllenhaal when it comes to completely transforming his body for a role.

Earlier this week, Mark spoke about drastically altering his physique again on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia.
The former Calvin Klein model gained a whopping 30 pounds (two stone) for his upcoming movie.
‘I would say it’s easier to stay in shape than it is to get in shape,’ Mark began.
‘I put on 30 pounds after for another film, that was really difficult. I’m not getting younger,’ he added.

Mark showed off the dramatic weight change for Father Stu last May on Instagram.
The Departed star shared before-and-after comparison photos as he revealed in the caption that he put on 13.5kg (30 pounds) in six weeks for his role as boxer-turned-priest Stuart Long.
‘From this 3 weeks ago, to this, now. Thanks to @chef_lawrence_d cooking,’ the Ballers actor captioned his jaw-dropping before-and-after.
In Mark’s shirtless photo, he could be seen displaying his muscular figure at the gym.
The second snap, taken after he purposely packed on the pounds, captured him lying in bed, looking visibly heavier without his washboard abs.
Father Stu is a faith-based biopic loosely based on the late Father Stuart Long, who started off his career as a boxer and eventually became a priest.

The movie, which has been said to be close to Wahlberg’s heart for a number of years, was written and directed by Mel Gibson’s girlfriend Rosalind Ross.
Mel Gibson stars in the picture along with fellow Aussie actor Jacki Weaver, which is set for release on April 22.
Mark has previously gained and lost weight for movies such as Pain and Gain, Spenser Confidential, The Gambler and The Fighter.
