Mark Wahlberg always speaks truth on the struggles of staying in shape with advancing age. The 52-year-old actor posted a clip of himself at that ungodly hour of 4am working out and joking about how this belly fat will never come off.

In the video, he was working his abs crazily at this club known as Municipal while the overlay said, “At my age, it’s hard to get rid of that belly🤢 4am club @municipal 🎥🎬🏹📈💯”. As aging is treated as a humorous complaint about physical changes and metabolism, we get to see old Wahlberg get down to some serious workout.

Immediately after posing these clips, fans began chipping in with their opinions on Wahlberg’s fitness journey. One user commented in Russian (translated): “You have a normal stomach; you look great in shape👍.” More came with fire and weightlifter emojis to encourage.

Some related to the difficulty, with one agreeing: “Truth. The older we get, the more difficult it is to lose it,” and another saying, “Belly is hardest part for me too.” Yet most are quick to assure Wahlberg that he still looks so fit: “Don‘t worry 🥲❤️ you even look good with that belly 🔥😉,” one wrote. Another jokingly said that her husband would have a fit about that.

Things got really interesting when the critic dropped a little nugget of knowledge: “When we see what you eat we don’t have to look far for understand, nothing to do with your age.” Naturally, that triggered a heated comeback from another user: “I just checked your photos, and no offense, but with everything he eats, he still looks bigger, leaner, more shredded, and more muscular than you’ll ever look.” The initial commenter began to go super-defensive, showing how passionate he was about Wahlberg’s physique.

Amid all the fitness talk, a few daredevils from the fanbase went ahead to delve into potential project questions: “Will there be a Ted 3 and please come back for it,” implored one avid supporter, while another shot off: “Give us a first look at Ted.” Others dispensed random questions, such as the name of an old TV series Wahlberg once starred in.

Clearly, the man at 52 is far ahead of many in all areas of life, including those blanked-out 4 o’clock workouts: “I hear you, that 4 am workout is insane,” said a commenter, followed by, “No, at this age, you put most youngans to shame through your discipline and dedication.”

Wahlberg has fairly openly spoken about his monstrous fitness regimens and crazy diets over the years. Yet, beside all these jokes about belly fat, the truth of the matter is that he has an enviable body that would make almost any man half his age turn green. To joke about himself while proving the seriousness of his intense workout regimen is a classic Wahlberg move that is simultaneously relatable and aspirational.

Whether Wahlberg is talking about his diet or workout routine or his movie projects, his fans are interested in every aspect of his public life. One thing is certain: If this is what “struggling with belly fat” looks like at 52, most would gladly opt for the problem.
