The Fighter star Mark Wahlberg doesn’t just work hard on set, he works hard in the gym too!
In fact, he even built a boxing gym in his house and trained for 2 years to star in and produce the boxing film about Micky Ward, while shooting other movies! Regarding his commitment to training, the actor says:
“It was tough. Going out and making another movie and still continuing to train for something that may not happen is not an easy thing to do. We’re shooting 12 to 14 hours a day on one movie and I’m getting up 2 hours earlier than normal so I can train.”
12 to 14 hour days!? We can barely commit to the gym on Saturdays!
Although it’s no surprise, the artist formerly known as Marky Mark should serve as an inspiration for all you guys to get out of those slacks and into some gym shorts to hit the bag!
