Vin Diesel, who welcomed his third child earlier this year, was recently criticized for having a dad bod. However, the 48-year old fought back against his body shamers with an Instagram photo showing off the physique he's known for.
Diesel was photographed in Miami on Oct. 6 displaying what some deemed a less desirable body, as he did not look like the ripped, muscular action star fans are used to seeing. The unflattering photos went viral on sites such as Hollywood Life.
In response, Access Hollywood reported that Diesel posted a photo displaying his six-pack with the caption "The pic from yesterday... For those who wanted the show... For all the angels that love dad bod regardless..." He then went on to promise an exclusive video to be posted on Facebook when he's meeting with the press for the promotion of his new movie The Last Witch Hunter.
Its been a big year for Diesel with the birth of his daughter in March, the release of the mega successful Furious 7, and preparing for The Last Witch Hunter, which is set for release Oct. 23.
He's also been coping with the loss of longtime friend and Furious franchise co-star Paul Walker, which he says his latest project helped him with. Diesel told the Associated Press on Oct. 10, "There was something therapeutic about playing this role after going through (Walker's death)....Playing a character that was masking his sorrow - his loss - was very appropriate for the time, because that's what I was doing in real life with the post-Furious 7."
