Mark Wahlberg might have become a bodybuilding enthusiast and influencer at the age of 52, but his very first passion was always dance and music. He started in the 1990s in the music industry with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, along with modeling with Calvin Klein. The ‘Boogie Nights’ actor found leading performances with the biggest Hollywood legends in movies, such as ‘The Departed’. Now he is a proud owner of several businesses. He has ventured into different industries, including fitness, food, and even clothing.

The two-time Academy Award nominee’s latest venture is Municipal, which is a clothing brand. Along with this, he also has another company called F45 where he lured the fans in with a ‘personal trainer’ activity named Wahlberg Week,  to save the million-dollar business from shutting down. His documentary ‘Wahl Street’ featured him talking about his passion for bodybuilding and business. Since he loves dancing, exercise, and business, he recently decided to combine the trio into one idea.
