Mark Wahlberg Denies Taking Steroids & Claims He's 'All Natural, Baby'

Mark Wahlberg Denies Taking Steroids & Claims He's 'All Natural, Baby'

The 'Departed' actor denies taking steroids despite being named in as a client by a now disgraced steroid dealer

Mark Wahlberg has made some questionable decisions over the course of his lifetime. Whether it be that time that he kicked the living crap out of that guy, or his frankly awful rapping career with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, or simply Daddy's Home 2.

Despite all that, one thing he hasn't done is steroids. He has recently been rumoured to have been involved with a steroid dealer who has now been jailed - Richard Rodriguez.

He's not the only one either - Actor Josh Duhamel and WWE superstar Roman Reigns have also been linked to Rodriguez.

However, Mark claims that all of his gains are completely natural, and the fact that he is absolutely stacked is just a result of him working out really hard.

He even went as far as to decry steroid use, saying that it messes with your health, which would look pretty bad if he was actually found to have been using them.

It's important to also say that Roman Reigns and Josh Duhamel also deny steroid use, but none of the three seem ready to take legal action, despite Rodriguez naming them as famous clients who use steroids.

When asked on the street by TMZ about his muscles, Mark replied: All natural, baby, all the time. I don't know why he's saying this crap - that's hard work, baby."

He also talked down the prospect of raising a case against Rodriguez - whose business Wellness Fitness Nutrition was raided by the Drug Enforcement Agency last February.

He said: "What? Give him more attention - Work hard baby. If you want to do something right you've gotta work hard. Why put yourself and your health at risk when you can work hard and be a good example, make things happen and achieve your goals?"

Good advice. Steroid use is banned in basically every sport because it can give you an unfair advantage over non-users and they are illegal without a doctor's prescription.

Also, completely aside from all of that, here's some alarming info for male readers: they can give you breasts, make you get painful erections, make your balls shrink down, decrease your sperm count, and even make you infertile.

Do I need to go on? Ain't nobody got time for that.

So be like Marky Mark - I don't mean release a dreadful hip-hop album, I mean don't take steroids.

Trust me, your junk will thank you.
