Vin Diesel rocks that ‘dad bod’ — how d’ya like him now?
Vin Diesel is leveraging not-so-flattering paparazzi photos to promote his upcoming movie -- and flaunt his stealth abs.
Oh, Daddy ...
Vin Diesel showed the stealth appeal of the so-called dad bod, posting an abs-flexing shot of himself Sunday after paparazzi photos, did the rounds last week, showing him with a less-than-rock-hard physique as he stepped out shirtless on a hotel balcony. Escándalo!
But "The Last Witch Hunt" star seemed to want to revise the record. "The pic from yesterday... For those who wanted the show... For all the angels that love dad bod regardless...," the 48-year-old father of three said by way of introduction to a super selfie.
And isn't a picture worth a thousand words?
But Diesel was ready to provide 2,000 words' worth of pics — he led up to the reveal with a fully clothed shot captioned, "It is amazing the response from the journalists who I have been talking to for the last two days in New York. Today one wanted to see the dad bod. Haha. I am wondering if I should show the picture... Body-shaming is always wrong! What do you think? #LastWitchHunter."
We think we'll have another helping of dad bod, please, with extra forearms.
