Mark Wahlberg recently shared details about an injury he sustained while filming his upcoming movie, Arthur the King. The 52-year-old actor revealed that he tore his meniscus on the first day of shooting the adventure drama. The meniscus is a crucial piece of cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and thighbone. Wahlberg explained that the injury occurred due to a sudden twist of his knee while bearing weight.
Despite the setback, Wahlberg decided to continue filming rather than pausing production, as he was concerned about potential delays, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. He sought medical advice and found alternative ways to manage the injury while on set. His dedication to the project led him to tough it out and persevere through the challenges.
Wahlberg also shared insights into his health routine, emphasizing the importance of rest and recovery. Known for his early morning workout sessions, the actor admitted that there are days when he lacks motivation to exercise. However, he kickstarts his day with a cold plunge to invigorate himself and stay committed to his fitness regimen.
Additionally, Wahlberg's wife expressed concerns about the safety of certain intense scenes in the movie, highlighting her worries when he engaged in activities like zip-lining. Despite her apprehensions, Wahlberg assured that he takes precautions and avoids unnecessary risks during filming.
Arthur the King is set to hit theaters on March 15, offering audiences an adventure-filled drama starring Wahlberg. The actor's dedication to his craft and commitment to overcoming challenges both on and off-screen continue to inspire fans and showcase his resilience in the face of adversity.
