It may be the middle of winter, but it doesn't look like Mark Wahlberg is getting the blues anytime soon.

The 45-year-old actor looked fit as a fiddle, baring his abs on vacation in Barbados Wednesday.

Wearing a pair of striking blue swim shorts, the Patriot's Day producer showed off a new hair cut while spending time with his family.

Mark is taking a much deserved break before embarking on a packed 2017.

Next year he appears in Transformers: The Last Knight, the latest chapter in the explosive space-robot franchise from director Michael Bay. 

He'll also appear in the comedy sequel Daddy's Home 2 and will produce a newly announced film called The Roman.
