Tough guy Mark Wahlberg took his action-hero status to a new level today as he drove around Hollywood on a motorbike minus a shirt and a crash helmet.
The 39-year-old bike fan took the risky ride along Mulholland Drive yesterday - riders in California are required to wear a helmet.
Wahlberg recently revealed that he plans to marry his long term partner Rhea Durham after the birth of their third child in September.

"She wants to wait until after the baby. We've been very fortunate. We've waited and worked hard to really strengthen our relationship. We want it right," he said.
‘We're ready. I'm ready. She's been ready, but I think you know, we both come from broken homes and we want to succeed.’
Wahlberg and Durham are already parents to Ella, 4, and Michael, 2.
The Happening star says he loves fatherhood and now feels that he has a real purpose.
'For the most part, my kids are darlings,' he said. 'But at 5 a.m., it can be a little crazy.'
