Actor Mark Wahlberg admits it's getting harder for him to shoot stunts for his action films now that he's in his 40s.
The 42-year-old said it has become harder for him to shoot the rough-and-tumble movies he's known for and he's ready to slow down, reported Contactmusic.
"Absolutely it's punishing. After doing four movies in a row, I needed a break. I did 'Broken City', 'Pain & Gain', '2 GUNS' and 'Lone Survivor', which is a war movie where I play a Navy Seal trapped in Afghanistan. That was the kicker. I had to tough it up, but after that I was ready to do nothing," he said.
While he now struggles with some stunts, Wahlberg is incredibly passionate about working out and maintaining his impressive physique.
"I've been exercising for a long time and I feel sluggish when I don't. I have times when I stop and splurge. I went through a chocolate chip cookie phase. But I stopped that.
