Vin Diesel shows off his new physique as he poses for pictures with his celeb pals
Vin Diesel has been photographed looking noticeably less buff while posing with some of his celebrity pals.
Diesel, best known for his role in the Fast and Furious franchise, flashed a smile as he hugged his former co-star, Charlize Theron while attending her Africa Outreach Project event in Los Angeles at the weekend.
Wearing a black vest top and dark sunglasses, Diesel showed off a larger frame as he enjoyed the event with his famous pals.
His latest public appearance comes after a fellow actor took a stab at Diesel during an interview earlier this year.
Actor Paul Walter Hauser launched a surprising spray on Vin Diesel in a recent interview, recoiling when the interviewer jokingly compared him to the action star.
Recent Golden Globe winner Hauser was sitting down with outlet CinemaBlend in a press junket for his latest film, Inside Out 2, in which he voices the character 'Embarrassment.'
But he had no embarrassment hitting back when the interviewer joked to Hauser that his character's arc in the animated film means 'you're like Vin Diesel now.'
'Please don't say that,' he shot back, explaining: 'I like to think I am on time and approachable.'
Hauser's Inside Out 2 co-star Lewis Black reacted with shock as he explained his surprise diss.
'I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people … I out them constantly, and it's a blast.'
Meanwhile, on Saturday night, Diesel joined his Fast and Furious co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker at Fuel Fest in California.
During his brief appearance, Diesel told a crowd of fans what they can expect to see in the final Fast and Furious film.
He also confirmed that it's likely to be released sometime in 2027 after numerous delays.
'The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of 'Fast and Furious' [in] April 2027?'' Diesel said. 'I said, 'Under three conditions.' First, is to bring the franchise back to L.A.! The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing! The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner.'

Former Baywatch and Playboy star, 55, rocks different image 36 years after finding fame on hit series
She shot to fame in the 90s as a Playboy cover star and Baywatch pin-up. More than three decades on, actress and model Erika Eleniak, now 55, looks very different with two tattoo sleeves. Erika was pictured walking her pet dog in Los Angeles in a black T-shirt and shorts, with a fanny pack around her waist. She looked to be makeup-free on a sunny day in California as she strolled in a pair of slides. Best known for her role as lifeguard Shauni McClain, Erika is still quizzed about her time on set to this day. Last year, she admitted playing a beach beauty, famed for her red swimsuit, was much harder than she was given credit for. 'Running on sand is really hard,' she told UPI. 'Running in and out of the water is really hard. 'It doesn't always look cool, either, so trying to make it look good and do it well is definitely not easy. I don't think anybody ever thought any of it was hard.' Not only did the cast need to look good and be super fit, they also needed to learn emergency first aid skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While Baywatch is now most famously linked to Pamela Anderson as C.J. Parker in the mid-'90s, original beach babe Erika still has a cult following. She previously told Media From the Heart that her decision to leave the show came organically after it changed direction. 'Originally, this was written as a serious look at lifeguarding. As soon as it changed and became a music montage show, it was so lovely, but for me, it was time to go,' she explained. 'I will say I had really strong storylines the second year, which was great. 'And I did get some juicy parts, but the show became something else. So for me, it was no longer where my heart was.' Immediately after her exit from Baywatch in 1992, she starred in action flick Under Siege, alongside Steven Seagal. Breaking out in the way Pamela Anderson famously wanted to with her 90s flop Barbed Wire, Erika played fictional Playboy star Jordan Tate, who helped bring a hijacked battleship under control. Feature films The Beverly Hillbillies and Chasers followed, before she became a fixture on reality TV with shows The Real Gilligan's Island and Celebrity Fit Club. The twice married mum-of-one struggled with an eating disorder and abused laxatives before going on the VH1 show. Thankfully, she has overcome her issues and also shed her clean cut image for a more alternative look. Though Erika began getting tattoos in the '90s, her colourful arm inkings were only completed in the last few years. She explained: 'Most of my sleeve work is probably within five years. It's been a work in progress over the years of starting and stopping, so not really consecutive.'

Olivia Munn shades Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez with pointed comment after over-the-top $76m wedding
Olivia Munn is back at it. The actress — who made headlines in April for blasting Lauren Sánchez's Blue Origin space flight — appeared to shade the bride and husband Jeff Bezos over their $76 million wedding. One day after Friday's star-studded nuptials in Venice, Italy, Munn reacted to Mia Farrow's Instagram post praising the Amazon founder's ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott, reports Page Six. The former couple, notably, were married from 1993 to 2019 and welcomed four children during their time together. 'How awesome is MacKenzie Scott! (Jeff Bezos first wife & mother of his 4 children),' Saturday's social media upload read. 'As of mid-December 2024, she had given a total of $19.3 billion to over 1600 charitable organisations.' Munn, 44, commented, 'Truly incredible.' The Your Friends & Neighbors star wasn't the only celeb to gush over Scott, 55, in the wake of Bezos' extravagant ceremony. Actress Rosanna Arquette labelled the novelist 'a force of humanity and good,' while Sarah Jessica Parker, Katie Holmes and Mandy Moore 'liked' the post. Charlize Theron ripped into the newlyweds outright over the weekend, quipping that 'they suck.' Reps for Munn, Bezos and Sánchez did not immediately respond to Page Six 's requests for comment. Munn previously made headlines in April when she referred to Sánchez's historic, all-female trip to space as 'gluttonous' during a US Today show appearance. 'There are so many other things that are so important in the world right now,' the Newsroom alum said. 'It's so much money to go to space, and there's a lot of people who can't even afford eggs,' she added. At the time, Munn was joined by Olivia Wilde, Amy Schumer and Emily Ratajkowski in shading the former journalist. Wilde, 41, told her followers that at least the 'billionaires bought some good memes,' while Schumer, 44, joked about the items the women brought to space. Ratajkowski, for her part, said that she was 'disgusted' by the flight, which was 'built and paid for by a company that is single-handedly destroying the planet.' When Munn got married in July 2024 to comedian John Mulaney, with whom she shares two children, the ceremony was a private affair at a friend's home in New York. The low-key event was attended by son Malcolm, a witness and officiant Sam Waterston. Bezos and Sánchez's wedding, meanwhile, was swarmed with A-listers from Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Brady to Sydney Sweeney and Kim Kardashian.
