Mark Wahlberg stuns the Internet as he revealed that he must have done at least 700 push-ups a day to get his desired figure while filming Daddy's Home with co-star Will Ferrell.

In an interview with E! Online via ABC News, the actor shared that he must have at least done 700 one-arm-pull-ups everyday.

Well, some might not believe it but yes, the actor who played as a dad in the movie may have done it to win her kids' heart against his competitor, his new wife's husband played by Will Ferrell.

"We did many takes from many angles. They didn't want me to sound like I was giving an effort whatsoever. "so I'm talking very calmly during the push-ups and then the pull-ups," the TED actor explained.

Ferrell joined in saying that Mark's exercise regimen in the movie is one of the funniest as the actor should be cool and have a gentleman manner while doing one hand push-ups.

"I think it's the funniest scene that Mark doesn't break a sweat. We're just having this very civil conversation while Mark goes through this intense workout," the comedian said.

Wahlberg shared the moment on his Twitter account with him and Ferrell in a photo with a Christmas tree in the background.

"It's a laugh a minute here today talking about @daddyshomemovie," the actor said as mentioned in USA Today.

Meanwhile, Will Ferrell, who will also have a comeback in Zoolander, talks about his experience in working with Wahlberg in another interview with The Guardian.

"Mark is the guy who could walk down the street in a movie with his own theme song. People will step aside. He creates that dynamic without saying a word. He represents the lion male to my kitty cat..." he told the news outlet.

"He is so emotionally available on an almost sickening level, reading the script made me laugh every time," he added.
