Mark Wahlberg looked like he just stepped out of one of his iconic Calvin Klein ads from the early ’90s in a new thirst trap.
The 52-year-old actor, who appeared shirtless in a similar post a few weeks ago, took to Instagram on Thursday to share a video of one of his grueling ‘4am club’ workouts.
He gave his millions of Instagram followers a thrill as he lifted his Municipal brand t-shirt to show off his washboard abs.
The Boogie Nights star looked remarkably ripped and had impressively defined abdominal muscles that were barely distinguishable from the early days of his dizzying career.
Although the Calvin Klein ads helped Mark land a film career, he has admitted to regretting them in more recent years.
Mark Wahlberg looked like he just stepped out of one of his iconic Calvin Klein ads from the early ’90s in a new thirst trap. The actor, 52, showed off abs that could match his physique at the beginning of his career.
‘I try to forget’ the photos, he said in a 2022 episode of Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.
“I don’t think many serious producers and directors would look at that and say, ‘Well, that guy looks like a serious actor.’ Maybe we’ll use it to walk with our pants down,” he explained.
In his latest clip, Mark made sure fans knew he doesn’t skip leg day as he performed all sorts of exercises including leg presses, barbell split squats, leg extensions, deadlifts and wall squats. .
He wasn’t alone as he worked out with some friends who were having a hard time keeping up with their famous friend.
The group finished the tough training by cooling off in an ice bath.
Mark mocked his friends as he captioned the video: “My friends thought the 4am club was too easy (laughing crying emoji) @municipal (fire, stocks going up and 100 emojis).”
While it may have seemed like an early workout to many, it was later than usual for Mark, who previously offered a very detailed breakdown of his day, starting at 2:30am and finishing at 7:30pm.
On the former rapper’s checklist were two big workouts that lasted more than an hour, two showers, snacks and meals, a cryogenic recovery chamber, golf and business meetings, in a routine that has baffled his fans.
He revealed that it all started at 2:30 am when the alarm went off. Next is a prayer session. The action star then eats breakfast at 3:15 a.m., his first meal of many throughout the day.
He previously told Men’s Health that he likes to start his day with egg whites, sprouted grain Ezekiel bread, almond butter, and avocado.
From 3:40 am to 5:15 am he has a serious training session that includes weight lifting.
Mark’s 10 million Instagram followers will already know about his first workouts, as he often shares videos of his gym sessions under the hashtag #4amclub.

At 5:30am it’s a training meal and then a shower at 6am, which oddly seems to last 90 minutes.
At 7:30 the Shooter actor is playing golf, which could be considered another workout, but only for 30 minutes, and at 8:00 a snack follows.
Next is a cryogenic chamber session.
Mark previously told Ellen DeGeneres about the benefits of cryotherapy, saying, “It’s great for recovery and just gets all the inflammation out of your body (and) helps you sleep.”
At 10:30 a.m., when most people in Hollywood are just going to work, Mark eats again and then takes business calls.
He also spends time with family, which must be a challenge since all of his children are in school right now.
At 2pm he has more meetings and work calls. At 3 in the afternoon she picks up her children from school and then has another snack.

At 4 p.m. it’s time for his second workout of the day. It lasts until 5 p.m., when he takes a shower.
Dinner time and the family arrives at 5:30 pm and then goes to sleep at 7:30 pm.
However, in 2022, Mark revealed that he had made some adjustments to his schedule and shared his new “reduced” daily regimen that involves sleeping in, until just 3:30 a.m.
The star added that she no longer eats oatmeal, peanut butter, blueberries and eggs for breakfast, but instead fasts for 18 hours a day.
