Mario has been making the most of his time off recently; On July 4 weekend he spent the day on the beach with his family, where he go to show off his famously toned physique sunbathing and playing in the water with his kids.
A fortnight before that he was enjoying a longer - but possibly not as relaxing - vacation in Mexico with a total of seven kids, including nieces and nephews.
