Action star Mark Wahlberg appears to defy death by clinging to the side of a London hotel as he films his latest movie.

The Ted actor, 53, was held by a safety wire outside the London Marriott Hotel in Regents Park last week, attracting large crowds on the street below.

Mark was filming for The Family Plan 2 and between takes remained strapped in, hanging outside the rooms of the popular four-star hotel.

The actor, who is also known for his roles in The Departed, Boogie Nights and The Fighter, plays Dan Morgan, a suburban dad and car salesman navigating family life.

However, his secret past as a former top assassin catches up with him.

The star also posted a video on his Instagram, showing the team filming a winter scene in prestigious Burwood Park, a private estate in Hersham, near Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.

It is believed to be Henry VIII’s deer park, spans 350 acres, has two lakes – as well as high-tech security to protect its residents.

From there, Mark tagged his co-star Michelle Monaghan while he wished fans “Happy Holidays”.

The film is the sequel to last year’s hit and also features Sex Education’s Reda Elazouar, 23, and Games of Thrones icon Kit Harington, 37.

Former rapper Mark said of the original movie: “Seeing it become an instant success with audiences has been incredibly rewarding.”
