Wahlberg previously told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel he was excited to eat “everything in sight”.

He said: “They want me to do it as healthy as possible and I’m like, ‘Dude, I’ve been on such a regimen for so long, I just want to eat everything in sight’.

“I want to go bakeries. I want to go to Denny’s. I want to get pancakes. I want to get everything I can possibly get my hands on.”

Will Smith has also been showing off a new look after putting on some weight during the pandemic.
