Mark Wahlberg’s followers were shocked by his new haircut for the movie ‘Flight Risk’.
Mark Wahlberg plays pilot Daryl Booth in the movie “Flight Risk,” directed by Mel Gibson and released in January 2025. The actor had to shave part of his hair for the role, which left Wahlberg’s followers surprised.
In a video shared on the “Ted” star’s Instagram, the actor sat in a chair waiting for a woman to start shaving the front part of his head.
“Keeping it real, no fake baldness, no tricks,” Wahlberg wrote in the caption.
Some fans were upset by the actor’s new look. “Oh my God, why didn’t you just wear a wig?” one asked. “What if it doesn’t grow back?” another said, worried.
In an interview with People, Mark Wahlberg revealed that the production shaved his hair “as close as possible” every day during filming.
In “Flight Risk,” a U.S. federal agent, played by Michelle Dockery, must transport an informant in a small plane piloted by Wahlberg’s character.
