Mark Wahlberg The Rock: PAIN GAIN SWOLLEN BODIES

 

 

 

Mark Wahlberg & The Rock were seen on set of the film they are filming No Pain No Gain and there was "beef cake" going on!  The two are playing two bodyguards in Florida who get caught in a kidnapping plot  that goes wrong.  

 

Of course, it would be expected that if you are going to play a body guard one would have to hit the gym, but the two have muscles on top of muscles.  Definitely worth a look!
