Last week FIT'N'FLEXED brought you the story of Vin Diesel out on his balcony appearing a little soft - but we predicted he'd soon be back to top shape.
He stepped out onto his balcony in Miami and subsequently sent the internet into meltdown.
Diesel is currently promoting his new film The Last Witch Hunter, with many of the journalists bringing up the 48-year-old's physique.
“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.” Vin said to his 11 million followers.
“I am wondering if I should show the picture... Body-shaming is always wrong! What do you think?”
Then, it came.

Showing off his six-pack, Vin then said to his followers: “The pic from yesterday... For those who wanted the show... For all the angels that love dad bod regardless...I will post an exclusive video on my Facebook when I am done with press today.”
With the photo approaching over 310,000 likes, fans applauded his move. "That's for the haters Vin" said one.
“You deserve to enjoy your life the way you want to, you work real hard!!, just be yourself ... The rest is history,” said another.
And one can only imagine his conditioning is going to get better after recently announcing he's reprising his roles for sequels to XXX and Fast and the Furious.
Publicity Stunt?
With his current film out now, and another XXX and Fast and the Furious in pre-production, there's a strong theory it could have been staged.
As you know, many fitness fanatics can stick their stomachs out, and it's quite hard to believe that Vin Diesel didn't see the person taking the video whilst he was on his balcony!
The photos were certainly viral, and for Vin to turn around and show his actual conditioning (much better than on the balcony) is great attention for the film and the action star.
But even if it is or isn't - you've still gotta love Vin Diesel!
"Stay Fit, Stay Flexed!"
