Topless Mark Walhberg soaks up the sun with wife Rhea Durham on family holiday to Barbados
American actor and star of new thriller All The Money In The World shows off buff body during Christmas getaway in Barbados with wife and kids
MARK Wahlberg looks very much the action dad as well as movie star as he hangs out topless on the beach during a family break in Barbados.
The Hollywood hunk, 46, showed off a buff bod as he hopped in the sea for a swim in turquoise pattered swimming trunks - alongside wife Rhea Durham.
Mark - who's been enjoying some rounds of golf on the island - put the guns on display for the holiday outing with Rhea, 39, and their kids Ella, 14, Michael, 11, Brendan, nine and Grace, seven.
There were some slightly awkward tan lines from where Mark had been catching rays during his exotic vacation.
But the former hip hop star was looking better than most dads-of-four during the Christmas season.
The Wahlbergs - who wed in 2009 - are used to hitting Barbados for holidays and did so in 2016, but after a very busy 12 months Mark will be enjoying the down time.
The Bostonian, who was seen arranging pink towels near the beach loungers, is currently starring in Ridley Scott's Oscar-tipped thriller All The Money In The World.
But this year he's also starred in Daddy's Home 2 and Transformers: The Last Knight, both of which have been critically trashed.
Perhaps his most challenging of the three projects was All The Money, because of major reshoots which were ordered after Kevin Spacey was axed from his lead role.
The film - in which Spacey played real-life oil tycoon J. Paul Getty - was due for release days after he was outed for sexual misconduct and dropped from House Of Cards.

And director Scott took "20 minutes" to decide to cut Spacey's role and reshoot with Christopher Plummer.
Mark had already lost 30 pounds and grown a beard for another film when he was called back to film scenes again with Plummer, who he barely had time to introduce himself to.
The new version of the film was then rushed for release on December 25 but has still seen Plummer, actress Michelle Williams and director Scott land Golden Globe nominations.
Sadly for Mark he's missed out on a Best Actor nomination for his part in the film - and he's never won a gong from any American film awards.
He did, however, win a TV Bafta in 2007 for Entourage and has been nominated for two Oscars for The Fighter and The Departed.
Speaking to The Sun about how tough it was to do reshoots with Christopher Plummer, Mark said: "Things [like this] happen all the time.
"We've made movies where we've had to go back a year later, shoot additional stuff, reshoot stuff...
"I've never been involved in this kind of circumstance but this was a decision that we completely understood, it's a very sensitive subject matter and we had to deal with it accordingly."
