ACTOR Mark Wahlberg is returning to school later this month to study for his high school diploma.

The Fighter star quit his studies at the age of 13 and, after a stint behind bars for assault, he became a model and pop star before making it in Hollywood.
Last year, the Massachusetts-born Wahlberg admitted he was keen to go back to school so he can become a better role model for his children - and the actor has now enrolled in an online course to complete his education.
He tells US talk show host David Letterman, “I am going back now. They have this new programme in Massachusetts now where you can actually take the courses online, so I’m starting this month; I’m gonna go and get my high school diploma.”           –WO
