In a recent interview, Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg opened up about the truth behind his new bald look. He revealed that he had to shave his head every day for his role in the action thriller Flight Risk. The 53-year-old star plays the character of Dylan, a pilot, in the movie which takes place on an airplane. Many were surprised to see him sporting a completely bald head under the baseball cap that his character initially wore.
But the movie has more surprises in store, as it features a tense battle between Mark's character and the Air Marshall assigned to take him to trial. However, things take a turn when Dylan reveals himself to be a ruthless hitman hired to kill the fugitive before he can testify. While this plot twist is intriguing, many were also distracted by Mark's usually full head of hair which was now shaved bald.
Some speculated that it could be a prosthetic bald cap, but Mark revealed that he actually shaved his head for the role. In fact, he shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how he prepared for the character and how his head was shaved every day for a clean look. In an interview with People, Mark explained, "There was no bald cap. I shaved the middle and left the horseshoe around the sides. We just shaved it. 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."
Mark also shared a funny incident where his wife's reaction to his shaved head was priceless. He said, "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," and laughed.
It seems that Mark's look has started a trend among his celebrity friends as well. Jackass star Steve-O also got a similar buzz cut from Mark for his podcast, and long-time friend Mike Fries also got the same haircut. Mark joked, "We're creating the look of 2025," as he gave his friend a haircut.
Unfortunately, all the effort put into the look may not have paid off as the movie has received mostly negative reviews from critics. With a low rating of 21% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics have described the movie as "mediocre" and "formulaic." Adding to the controversy, the movie's director, Mel Gibson, has also sparked controversy with his offensive comments regarding the recent LA Wildfires.
Despite the negative reviews, the movie is now in theaters and stars Michelle Dockery as the unlucky Air Marshall Madelyn. However, some viewers have pointed out that Mark's bald look is not entirely realistic. One user on social media shared, "As a balding man myself, this upsets me," while another pointed out that the hair on either side of Mark's temples is not how baldness works.
However, it seems like Mark is not the only one causing controversy as director Mel Gibson has also stirred up controversy with his theory about the LA Wildfires. In an interview with Fox News, he suggested that the fires may have been started intentionally. He said, "I know they were messing with the water, letting reserves go for one reason or another. They've been doing that a while. California has a lot of problems that sort of baffle the mind as far as why they do things." He also questioned the purpose behind such actions and speculated if it was to empty the state.
Despite all the controversies, Flight Risk is now in theaters. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency by email or by visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
