Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg fully shaved his head for his role in the action thriller 'Flight Risk,' surprising audiences with his new look. The film, which also stars Topher Grace and Michelle Dockery, has received mixed reviews, with critics finding it formulaic and relying on cheap gags. Wahlberg's drastic haircut has become a talking point, inspiring a buzz cut trend among his celebrity friends, including Jackass star Steve-O. Director Mel Gibson, known for his controversial statements, has also faced criticism for his theories linking the recent LA wildfires to deliberate actions.
Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has revealed the truth behind his new look for his role in the action thriller Flight Risk. The 53-year-old actor plays 'pilot' Dylan in the movie, which sees audiences shocked by his completely bald head hidden beneath a baseball cap. This isn't the only surprise the film has in store, featuring a tense battle of wits between Marky Mark's Dylan, a shifty fugitive played by Topher Grace, and the Air Marshall (Michelle Dockery) tasked with getting him to trial.
The plan hits a snag when Dylan reveals himself to be a ruthless hitman hired to kill the fugitive before he can testify. While the film features a promising plot twist, many viewers are more distracted by Mark Wahlberg's transformation. Initially, many assumed it was a prosthetic bald cap, but Mark has revealed that he actually shaved his head for the role. Speaking to People magazine, Mark explained how his Flight Risk look was achieved. 'There was no bald cap. I shaved the middle and left the horseshoe around the sides. We just shaved it,' he said. '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.' He also shared a humorous anecdote about his wife's reaction to his shaved head. '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,' he laughed.Mark's drastic haircut has sparked a trend among his celebrity friends, with Jackass star Steve-O even getting a buzz cut to match his character in 'Flight Risk'. Mark's drastic change hasn't been without controversy, however. Despite the buzz surrounding his look, the film itself has received largely negative reviews from critics, currently sitting at a dismal 21% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics have described the film as 'mediocre' and 'formulaic,' pointing to its reliance on cheap gags and offensive humour. Even those directly affected by Mark's haircut have weighed in, with some expressing disappointment over its unauthentic portrayal of baldness. Adding to the film's controversy, director Mel Gibson has faced further criticism for his theories about the recent LA wildfires, suggesting they might be intentionally caused. 'As a balding man myself, this upsets me,' shared one social media user, while another pointed out the inconsistency of Mark's hairstyle. 'He looks like Gargamel from the Smurfs,' slammed another.Flight Risk is currently in cinemas
