90s heartthrob Mark-Paul Gosselaar has stunned fans by showing off his chiselled abs at 52 years old. The former Saved by the Bell star displayed his shredded physique while promoting his raunchy new series Bulges.
Gosselaar made a surprise appearance at the 2026 Bell Media Upfronts in Toronto, Canada, last week. He took to the stage in a tight-fitting cropped white tank-top bearing the name of his new show, paired with short blue shorts and knee-high striped socks. The father of four’s toned abs, bulging biceps, and muscular legs were on full display.
Clearly having fun in his revealing outfit, Gosselaar playfully danced and blew kisses to the crowd. A TikTok user who posted his appearance joked, “OK Zack Morris I didn’t know you played like that,” referencing his iconic Saved by the Bell character.
Bulges is a Canadian comedy about “the eccentric staff at an iconic, once-thriving all-male restaurant in Niagara Falls,” according to its logline. It’s described as “if Hooters were designed for women.” The official release date hasn’t been announced yet.
Fitness Routine
Gosselaar has been a long-time practitioner of Jiu-Jitsu. Last January, he talked about maintaining his impressive physique on The Sackhoff Show podcast, sharing that he prioritises sleeping well and nutrition. “I don’t eat as much as I used to,” he said. “I’ve gotten to the point where I just eat really good foods when I want to and I don’t feel so, ‘oh my gosh, I didn’t get my protein in after my workout.’” He also does cold plunging to reduce inflammation after exercise and is adamant about going in the sauna every night before bed.
Personal Life
Gosselaar has been married to his wife, Catriona McGinn, since July 2012. They share two children together: Dekker, 12, and Lachlyn, 9. He also shares two kids with his ex-wife, Lisa Ann Russell: Michael, 22, and Ava, 20.
Page Six spoke to the actor in April 2024, when he talked about his time on Saved by the Bell. Gosselaar played main character Zack Morris in the original series, which ran from 1989 to 1993, as well as its spin-off, The College Years, and its Peacock revival in 2020. He expressed sympathy for ’90s stars who were allegedly mistreated as children, as detailed in the docuseries Quiet on Set. “I couldn’t relate because that’s not how our set was run at all,” he said. “As a cast, I think we’re all pretty unscathed in a way... We had good family, good producers protecting us, good teachers, so I feel awful that anyone had to go through that, especially children.”
