Mark Wahlberg's wife 'dove under the covers' when she saw actor's shaved head for bald role in 'Flight Risk'

Mark Wahlberg shared how his wife Rhea Durham reacted after he shaved his head to play his balding character in Mel Gibson's new movie "Flight Risk."

"I don't want to sit there and wait two hours in the chair putting on a bald cap and then gluing pieces of hair on and then having to get touch-ups," Wahlberg said. "Like, shave it, be done with it, you know, trim it in the morning because the stubble grows through, so just shave it down and then be able to be free all day." "The most priceless thing was seeing my wife's face when I took my hat off after getting the hair cut for work that day." Ashley Hume is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

Though Wahlberg was satisfied with his decision, he recalled that Durham, 46, was shocked when she first saw his new appearance.
