In the short clip, a shirtless Wahlberg showed off a pair of close-fitting swim trunks before jumping into a cold plunge.
“I realize now that I’m bulking [up], this s–t’s too tight for me. This fit nice and loose at Christmas, my swimsuit,” he said.
“When you realize your shorts don’t fit anymore after three months of eating like a crazy person🫣🥸🎬🎥 @municipal @thecoldlife 🥶🏹📈💯 4am club. @garybrecka,” Wahlberg captioned his post.

Not all of Wahlberg’s followers agreed about the fit of his shorts.
“They aren’t too tight. They are perfect 😍🔥,” one person insisted.
“Good Morning 🙌 🙌,” a second fan chimed in, with someone else adding, “i need me a man like @markwahlberg.”
Another person reacted to Wahlberg’s confession about “eating like a crazy person,” writing, “relatable 😂.”
Despite the fact that Wahlberg seemed surprised about his shorts being too tight, it seems that his weight gain was intentional. In a workout video shared to Instagram on Friday, March 28, he announced his goal to go from 205 to 215 pounds.
