Move over Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. A new Hollywood elite has entered Ontario’s cottage country.
This past weekend actor Mark Wahlberg, soccer star David Beckham, and former Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi were lounging lakeside in Muskoka—or MUSKOKAAA as Wahlberg pronounces it, singing the region’s name in a video posted to Domi’s Instagram as the group sped along in a speedboat at night.
What the group was doing there, or, better yet, how this motley crew became acquainted, is up for debate. Domi lives in Toronto. It’s possible the former Leaf was introducing his L.A.-based pals to the wonders of Canadian wilderness.
What we can tell you is that the group enjoyed themselves. Beckham summed the trip up in an Instagram post: “Great few days in Muskoka with family and friends. Wow what a place and yes we laughed a lot and drank a little,” he wrote.
The three celebs were joined by Canadian billionaire Jamie Salter, who owns Authentic Brands Group, and Rande Gerber, an American businessman married to model Cindy Crawford.
But the weekend wasn’t all “boys time”. It appears that Beckham’s trip was a family vacation. His wife, Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, and their kids tagged along. Beckham posted a photo of his son Cruz riding a wake surf like a natural.
Marky Mark, on the other hand, seems to have tied some brand development into his northern foray. He posted a video of himself heading to an F45 studio in Collingwood. Wahlberg owns a major stake in the fitness company and has been travelling to different studios across the U.S. and Canada to promote it.

“We found F45 in Muskoka,” he says in the video. We’re a fan of Wahlberg’s, so we’ll let it slide that Collingwood isn’t actually in Muskoka.
While there’s no word on any members of the celeb group placing Muskoka real estate offers, considering the smiles on their faces, we wouldn’t be surprised if Ontario’s cottage country plays host to Wahlberg, Beckham, and Domi again soon.
