Contraband actor Mark Wahlberg is going back to school, after dropping out at the age of 13.

The 41-year-old actor was jailed during his youth for assault, he later cleaned up his act before becoming a model, rapper and eventually an A-list actor.

Mark will undertake his high school diploma, so he can be a better role model to his children.

"I am going back now. They have this new programme in Massachusetts now where you can actually take the courses online," Mark said on The Late Show With David Letterman.

"I'm gonna go and get my high school diploma."

Although he is determined to complete his schooling, Mark admits he is "a little nervous".

"It's an actual diploma, so I gotta take up all the courses that I missed and I'm a little nervous," he said.

"I have a lot of down time on sets and in trailers so I just wanna blast through [the schoolwork]. Hopefully I'll be able to [graduate] in six to eight months."

Mark isn't just content to just be a high school graduate, though. He wants to go to college next, and you'll never guess what he wants to study:

"I would love to, at some point, go to film school."

Good luck Mark!
