Mark Wahlberg showcased his impressive physique during a solo beach stroll in Barbados.
The 53-year-old actor has been enjoying a sunny getaway with his wife, Rhea Durham, 46, and their four children over the past few days as the family relaxed beachside to ring in the new year.
On Thursday, Wahlberg stepped out on his own, flaunting his toned abs and muscular arms in a fitted white swimsuit.
Though he tried to keep a low profile behind dark designer sunglasses, his signature smile and athletic build made him impossible to miss.
The actor looked noticeably different from a recent behind-the-scenes video he shared, revealing his dramatic transformation for his upcoming film Flight Risk.
In the clip, Wahlberg sits in a barber’s chair as his stylist shaves off sections of his signature brunette hair, leaving the front and crown completely bare—a striking look for his latest role.

Over the years, Wahlberg has expressed that is he ‘very passionate’ about being ‘able to provide’ for his ‘family in a way that’ he ‘never dreamt of.’
‘If my kids want to go to college, they’re going to be able to do all those things,’ he explained to Men’s Health magazine in 2015.
In 2023 Wahlberg and Durham moved with their kids to Las Vegas to give them a ‘a chance to thrive.’
‘It just has the best of both worlds. I know a lot of people, when they think Las Vegas, they think the Strip,’ the filmmaker told Fox News Digital at the time.
‘But just about 15, 20 minutes away, there’s a whole lot of other amazing areas that are all about family and community,’ he explained.
The devoted dad stressed that the relocation was ‘really about giving the kids an opportunity to pursue their goals and dreams.
‘My daughter’s an equestrian,’ he noted. ‘My son’s a golfer. My oldest daughter, now she’s off to college. My son’s a junior.’
Shifting to his business endeavors, he added, ‘There’s lots of opportunity here as well for me. We’re trying to create a studio. We’re trying to build the shoe factory. We want to create lots of jobs here.’
