Actor Mark Wahlberg, 42, has revealed that he finished his high schooling and finally got his diploma only this summer.

He had dropped out of school after the ninth grade, eonline.com reports.

"I was fortunate to find out I could attend high school online," Wahlberg wrote in an op-ed in Huffington Post.

"For almost a year, I've been taking classes and studying any chance I could get-on the set, traveling for work and at home. It has been both humbling and challenging, but I'm happy to report that I am officially a high school graduate," he added.
