• Mark Wahlberg
Rising from a rough, criminal background to become a rap star and underwear model, it certainly seemed as though Mark Wahlberg had come a long way from his days as a juvenile delinquent. What no-one expected was that he would rise higher still, becoming one of today's hottest young stars in Hollywood...

• Thanks to his rugged good looks and impressively naturalistic acting style, not to mention a pretty impressive set of abs, Mark's diverse film career has seen him progress from Leonardo DiCaprio's sidekick to the lead in Summer 2001's biggest blockbuster

We take a detailed look at Mark’s career, including:

• His incarceration as a youth
• His rise as a rap star, with Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch
• His early film performances, including The Basketball Diaries alongside Leo DiCaprio
• The performance, and prosthetic, that cemented his career – as a pornstar in Boogie Nights
• Taking the lead for the first time, as an assassin in The Big Hit
• Trying to knock off Saddam Hussein's hidden gold with George Clooney in Three Kings
• His favourite performance, as a man who is seduced by a life of crime in The Yards
• Reuniting with George Clooney as a man at the mercy of nature's fury in The Perfect Storm
• Battling to rule the planet in the blockbusting remake of Planet of the Apes, opposite a chimped-up Helena Bonham Carter
• His latest role, with Jennifer Aniston, as a wannabe singer who gets his chance in the forthcoming Rock Star

• We also get Wahlberg's perspective on his career, with an analysis of all his film roles!

• Illustrated, as always, with a prominent package of full colour photographs!
