Mark Wahlberg has undergone a striking transformation for his upcoming film By Any Means, where he takes on the role of notorious mob hitman Gregory Scarpa. To fully embody the character, Wahlberg spent hours in makeup wearing facial prosthetics, including a reshaped nose and chin, along with a wig, heavy sideburns, and authentic 1960s-inspired styling. The result is such a dramatic change that many fans barely recognized him in the film’s first-look photos.
By Any Means follows the unlikely alliance between Scarpa and a young FBI agent as they investigate the murders of civil rights activists in 1960s Mississippi. The filmmakers went to great lengths to recreate Scarpa’s appearance, and Wahlberg’s commitment to the role has already generated significant attention. His remarkable transformation has quickly become one of the most talked-about aspects of the movie.
