 Just because he's a dad doesn't mean he has a "dad bod." Vin Diesel shut down body shamers who claimed the typically fit actor was out of shape after a series of photos popped up of him standing shirtless on a balcony sporting a softer physique. Proving that he's still proud of the way he looks, Diesel took to Instagram to respond to the criticism – by flaunting his trim physique, of course.To start, the Fast and Furious actor, 48, shared a photo of himself looking muscular in a black T-shirt and jeans."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," he wrote in his first post over the weekend after spending the day promoting his new film The Last Witch Hunter. "I am wondering if I should show the picture... Body-shaming is always wrong! What do you think?"And of course, fans jumped at the opportunity to see if Diesel really did have a "dad bod," or if it was simply just an off-day.In the second photo, he lifted his shirt to reveal his rock-hard abs, silencing the haters once and for all."The pic from yesterday... For those who wanted the show... For all the angels that love dad bod regardless..." Diesel, captioned the photo.It's safe to say, he's still got it. ||||| No dad bod here!

 While promoting his upcoming film The Last Witch Hunter, Diesel says he got a lot of questions about those shirtless pics of him on the balcony. "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," he Instagrammed on Sunday. "I am wondering if I should show the picture... Body shaming is always wrong! What do you think?"

As a father your kids are already making sacrifices for you," he said. "Vin wants quality time with his family." ||||| Vin Diesel was met by photographers when he stepped out shirtless on a balcony in Miami Beach, Florida on Tuesday.

 "I never started out wanting to be an action star," Diesel said. "I started acting when I was seven, so I grew up in the theater community. When I wasn't getting any work I started bouncing at nightclubs. Ten years of bouncing at night clubs in New York gives you something." 
 
 The new shirtless pics are also surprising given that Diesel's muscles were in full force in a recent issue of Men's Fitness magazine.
