Mark Wahlberg Shares How He Got In Shape For Spenser Confidential

The former MH Cover Star went to extreme measures to drop the weight for his role - by Alex Pierotti
  • 05 Mar 2020

Former Men's Health cover star Mark Wahlberg is best known for his jacked physique, but his latest role saw him take on a different approach to his body. The US actor revealed he had to train "like a crazy person" for his new Netflix film Spenser Confidential, dropping 4.5kg in just five days.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Wahlberg admits when working with director Peter Berg in the past he "was oddly out of shape and eating what I want and drinking what I wanted."

But Berg, who has teamed up with Wahlberg on five occasions, wanted the 48-year-old "ripped for the role." 

"I said, 'OK, no problem,'" Wahlberg remembered.

"I literally went clean-dry for five months, trained like a crazy person. I just did a bone broth and a fast and a cleanse and I literally lost 10 pounds [4.5kg] in five days. I lost five per cent body fat and I lost 20 points [9kg] of visceral fat literally in five days.

"Just bone broth and then steamed vegetables after the first three days and then a little bit of protein at night and that was it."

Wahlberg has previously credited Aussie fitness chain F45 for staying in shape, suggesting he's a huge fan of efficiency when working out. 

“I’m very precious with my time, which is why I’m so disciplined,” he told us at the time.

“I try to inspire people that there is enough time in the day to accomplish all of your goals and find that great balance.”
