Vin Diesel proudly showcased his ‘dad bod’ while hanging out with Zoe Saldana and her husband Marco Perego on his luxury yacht in Portofino, Italy, on Saturday.
The actor, 54, who was also joined by his girlfriend Paloma Jiménez, has previously said he relaxes his strict healthy eating and work out schedule in between roles because he’s away from the camera.
The Fast and the Furious star previously admitted he’s been able to brush off negative body comments because his usually ripped physique has been praised for years, as he declared: ‘I’ve had the best body in New York City for decades’.

It comes after the group enjoyed a very fashionable dinner in the seaside village on Friday, a day after Zoe dropped jaws in a red sequinned Dolce & Gabbana gown at Venice Film Festival on Thursday night.

In 2015 Vin has hit back at fat jibes, saying he’s had the ‘best body in New York for decades.’
The Fast and the Furious star admitted he’s been able to brush off the negative body comments because his usually ripped physique has been praised for years.
Speaking to Complex magazine, he said: ‘It’s like, dad bod goes viral. Like really? I mean, a) I don’t have to be in front of the camera for a couple months and b) I really am a dad.
‘I’m okay because I’ve had the best body in New York City for decades. There is no love lost there for me. I sing on my Facebook. You don’t get more dangerous than that, right? I was a bouncer at 17. I play fat roles sometimes.’
The 2021 Venice Film Festival is taking place from 1-11 September, and is considered one of the world’s oldest awards ceremonies and one of the ‘Big Five’ events.
The jury is headed by Parasite frontman Bong Joon Ho, who said he is ‘honoured to be woven into its beautiful cinematic tradition.
‘As president of the jury — and more importantly as a perpetual cinephile — I’m ready to admire and applaud all the great films selected by the festival. I’m filled with genuine hope and excitement.’

Having fun: The film star appeared to be in his element
Kicking back: Vin no doubt enjoyed having time off from his hectic schedule
Friends: The group of friends appeared at ease in each other’s company
This year’s festival has also seen the grand return of its star-studded red carpet premieres, after last year’s event was drastically scaled back due to the Covid pandemic.
The Hand Of God is a story of a boy in the tumultuous Naples of the 1980s.
Sorrentino’s most personal film yet is a tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss.
