When will body shaming in Hollywood end?!
Vin Diesel, star of The Fast and the Furious franchise is the latest victim. The actor's body has been criticized after shirtless photos from his Italian vacation were released.
While the haterade among trolls was strong, the fan love was stronger! Fans have been rallying behind the star. Vince would be so proud!
So many things encompass this, such as a celeb gaining weight, pregnancy rumors, post-baby weight gain, and more.
This is something that's never okay. A person's body is just that — their body — so anyone's opinions or critiques don't get a say.
Back in 2019, Jason Momoa, the actor most known for his roles in Game of Thrones and Aquaman was criticized for sporting a "dad bod" while on vacation with his family.
"Been working on his dad belly!" one wrote. Yeah, it's called a vacation aka eating whatever you want!
"Someone needs to start lifting again," another added. It's pretty unrealistic to expect an actor to stay in superhero shape 24/7.
"Lol... you guys do realize maintaining chiseled abs and a perfect physique like he has in his movies is not sustainable right? You can't live in a calorie deficit on chicken and broccoli forever!" a fan commented.
The Fast and the Furious star was spotted recently on a yacht in Portofino, Italy.
The 54-year-old actor was joined on his Italian vacation by his longtime girlfriend, Paloma Jiménez, and their three children: Hania, 13, Vincent, 11, and Pauline, 6.
Fortunately, many fans came to Vin's defense by rallying behind the star.
"I just wanna live in a world where people can live their lives and not have their bodies scrutinized any time it changes. Leave Vin Diesel and his shirtless happy on a yacht ass alone. We just live to tear people the [expletive] down, don’t we?" this user wrote.
"Why are you fat shaming dudes? Leave him be," another tweeted. A third shared that the actor has earned his right to eat whatever he wants. Let us remind you again that he's on vacation!
Back in 2015, the Fast & Furious actor was photographed in Miami looking slightly out of shape.
People made all sorts of similar comments back then, shaming the father-of-three for putting on some weight.
“It is amazing the response from the journalists who I have been talking to for the last two days in New York,” Diesel captioned one snapshot on Instagram.
“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?”
“For those who wanted the show…For all the angels that love dad bod regardless,” he wrote in the caption.
With a response like that, we're eagerly waiting for the hot selfie he posts to quiet his 2021 haters!
