Mark Wahlberg Shares Hilarious Head Shave Flashback Video: 'No Cap'

Mark Wahlberg is “keeping it real.”

On Thursday, Jan. 2, the 53-year-old actor rang in the new year by sharing behind-the-scenes content of what it took for him to get into character for his latest movie Flight Risk.

“Check out @flightriskmovie 🥸🔥🎥🎬 keeping it real🥸 no bald cap🥸🥸 NO CAP🔥,” he captioned an Instagram Reels of him having his head shaved by a stylist.

“F--- you lookin’ at?” he teased in the clip while sitting in a salon chair. Elsewhere in the video, he added, “It’s gonna come back.”

Fans in his comment section appreciated the look, adding jokes of their own.

“More like Mark Baldberg,” one person wrote. Another added, “Should be your new profile pic😂.”

Wahlberg first shared footage of his bald look in a July 3, 2024, Instagram post.

“No bald cap for me😎😂 we go all in,” he captioned the upload, which showed him posing beside the stylist who made his look possible.

As she smiled and pointed to him, he placed one arm around her and looked crazily at the camera with only the middle area of his hair missing — sides still intact, though what was left was pretty disheveled.

Wahlberg stars in the Mel Gibson-directed action thriller as a pilot transporting a U.S. Marshal (Michelle Dockery) and a prisoner (Topher Grace) on a small flight across Alaska en route to New York City for the prisoner to testify in an upcoming trial against an organized crime group.

Speaking to PEOPLE in June about the film ahead of its release, the Ted star shared what his wife Rhea Durham thought about the dramatic change for the movie.

"There was no bald cap. I shaved the middle and left the horseshoe around the sides. We just shaved it," he said at the time. "They would shave the top as close to the scalp as possible every day, obviously, because we didn't have any stubble or anything. So I just hid it with a hat."

"But the most priceless thing was seeing my wife's face when I took my hat off after getting the hair cut for work that day," Wahlberg told PEOPLE.

He added that Durham, 46, wouldn’t be the only one to find his shaved head amusing.

"Oh, they're gonna love it. My kids — my boys especially — they loved the hair cut," the Family Plan actor continued.
