Back in the 1990s, Charles Barkley was a force of nature. The ‘Round Mound of Rebound’ was ferociously dominating with his size. Moreover, for a player his stature, Barkley was quick and agile. He was dominant on both ends of the floor and rightfully found a place in the NBA’s Top 75 team. However, his weight was a constant point of concern throughout his NBA career. As a professional, Barkley worked hard to stay in shape. But since retiring from the sport, the ‘NBA on TNT’ host has been on a few food endeavors. Likewise, he is the center of most jokes inside Studio J. Recently, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal mocked Barkley, comparing his schedule to Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg.

Wahlberg is one of the most successful actors on the globe. The ‘Uncharted‘ star was once the highest-paid actor in the world. The 51-year-old currently holds a net worth of $420 million. Like any other successful person, Wahlberg is a man of discipline. In 2018, the movie star’s daily routine went viral. Wahlberg starts his day at 2 in the morning, and his intense day plan left his fans shocked.
