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

Hats off–or is that shirts off–to Vin Diesel for his Instagram musings on body shaming and dad bods. After an unflattering paparazzi photo of him hanging out on his balcony in Miami made the rounds, he found he was being questioned by media folks about his “new dad bod,” with all of them asking where his six pack went. Diesel’s reaction?

Today, one [journalist] wanted to see the dad bod. Haha. I am wondering if I should show the picture… Body-shaming is always wrong!

Dude, hell yes. Preach it, oh dieselest of Diesels. Of course, he didn’t stop there.

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. #LastWitchHunter #HappyCreative A photo posted by Vin Diesel (@vindiesel) on Oct 11, 2015 at 11:49am PDT

Well, that’s nice. This dad bod sure is one hell of a father figure.

I’ll show myself out.
