Steve-O used Instagram to show off a quirky haircut he received from Mark Wahlberg on Thursday.
Sharing a selfie with his 7.4 million followers, the 50-year-old Jackass alum wrote, ‘I got a rad haircut from @markwahlberg to match his character in “Flight Risk” (in theaters everywhere January 24).
Referencing his podcast, the former MTV personality added, ‘And we sat down to record today’s new episode of @wildride (link in bio). Talk about a @wildride!’
During the podcast sit-down, he and the 53-year-old actor chatted about the Wahlberg’s forthcoming thriller, in which he plays pilot and hitman Daryl Booth.
A video clip shared online shows the Boston native shaving Steve’s — full name Stephen Gilchrist Glover — head down the middle, leaving hair on the sides to resemble Booth.
Discussing his transformation into Daryl, Mark told Steve this week, ‘I had to test it a couple of times. When I went home, my wife was terrified. The kids didn’t want to see me.’

According to an account from Men’s Journal, he praised the stuntman, known for pulling edgy pranks, for committing to the striking, part-bald haircut.
‘I’ve just gotta say that I’m so impressed because I wanted to do the haircut for real. First of all, I don’t want to sit in that makeup chair putting on a wig and a bald cap and all the s**t,’ he noted.
And he added, ‘I know a lot of guys who are bald and always embraced it — my dad, for one.’
The A-list actor continued, ‘So I’m hoping this is going to carry on a trend.
‘Steve is going to be the first one to say “Hey, in support of the movie, he wants to do it.” And then I thought, when I first came to him, I said, “This guy’s done everything. There’s nothing he’s scared of.”‘
Steve’s post has been a hit with his social media followers, so far racking up more than 130,000 likes.
Earlier this month Mark shared a similar video showing his head being shaved down the center in a behind-the-scenes snippet.
‘I’m a little worried but it’s gonna come back,’ he said to the person recording, adding, ‘Oh yeah. F**k you lookin at? …It’ll come off.’

He wrote in an Instagram caption, ‘Check out @flightriskmovie Keeping it real, no bald cap. NO CAP.’
According to the official website, the forthcoming action movie sees Wahlberg act as pilot tasked with transporting a U.S. Marshal to New York City.
The site teases a suspenseful journey during which ‘tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.’
Wahlberg told People about shaving his head last June, ‘There was no bald cap. I shaved the middle and left the horseshoe around the sides.
‘We just shaved it. [Crew hairdressers] would shave the top as close to the scalp as possible every day, obviously, because we didn’t have any stubble or anything. So I just hid it with a hat.’
