“Kenny’s down 50 and I’m up about 20 😂 Inspired to be better!” he wrote in the caption. “I’m going up another 20. Yes it’s for a role. ✝️🙏❤️.”
Wahlberg first revealed his weight gain plans during an April 8 appearance onJimmy Kimmel Live!, where he told host Jimmy Kimmel that he would be “eating lots of burgers and lots of buns” to gain the weight and is “looking for all the help [he] can get.”
The Departedactor also said at the time that he planned for his first big meal to be a “20-piece chicken nugget and 20-piece hot wings from Kentucky Fried Chicken with a six-pack of beer.”
“Why not start with a bang?” the actor said, joking, “I might need a porta-potty too, but you know what, I’m ready to go.”

Wahlberg also shared during the interview that a “very smart” professional is working with him on the transformation.
“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,’ " the actor said.
“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,” Wahlberg added.
