Mark Wahlberg seems to be telegraphing a certain message with his latest thirst trap post — which comes on the heels of David Beckham‘s lawsuit against his fitness company.

The actor threw up a video Wednesday on his IG page, and while it wasn’t the first thing he’s posted since David filed suit against Mark’s F45 training brand … it is the first one where he’s shirtless and barking aggressively, interesting considering what’s going on BTS.

The video’s pretty simple … it’s Mark standing outside in the wee hours of the morning — 4 AM, apparently — which seems to be the start of whatever workout routine he’s getting into.

Mark briefly talks to the camera, letting his audience they know what time it is … and then he shouts out “Let’s go!” before the clip cuts off. Like we said, it’s not a direct response to David’s legal action — but does seem to give alpha dog vibes amid their beef in court.

Other videos Mark has posted in the past couple days mostly entail him plugging his Municipal brand — so far, he hasn’t explicitly addressed David filing suit against F45.

As we reported … David alleged he got stiffed to the tune of $10 million after signing on with the company to be an ambassador for them — and the way it all unfolded, according to him, was shady. Now, DB is trying to recoup what he claims is owed … and straight up sued.

Mark isn’t a defendant in the lawsuit, but F45 is undeniably tied to the guy … MW has a 36% interest in F45 — and he’s the main face of the company … popping up all over their socials.

While F45 has continued to post Mark-related clips on their own page — Mark himself hasn’t posted much about F45 in a little while. His focus these days seems to be Municipal.
