Vin Diesel shows off his new physique as he poses for pictures with his celeb 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.'

Inside Mariah Carey's sprawling $18 million hideaway
A sprawling Connecticut estate that was once rented by Mariah Carey has been put on the market for $US12.4 million ($A18.8 million). Now it can be revealed the common item the star refused to have in it. In a bizarre interview with Summertime Ball, Carey revealed that she's never owned a clock because she doesn't 'acknowledge the passing of time.' 'I just don't believe in it – just time,' she told the shocked interviewees. 'So no clocks?' one of the panellists asked. Carey responded 'yeah, let it go.' The 56-year-old also said she did not celebrate her birthday however she still observed anniversaries. 'I don't have a birthday, no,' she said. The New Canaan home where the 'Honey' singer lived for nearly two years, gives a rare glimpse into the life she once lived. The mansion initially hit the market on March 28 for $US13.9 million ($A21.1 million). But after struggling to sell, the price dropped by more than $US1 million ($A1.5 million) on June 1, Realtor reports. Since then, celebrity real estate agent Ryan Serhant has helped spark a surge of interest in the dwelling. The 'Owning Manhattan' star showcased the property on his YouTube channel. Titling his video: 'An Exclusive Tour of Mariah Carey's MASSIVE Estate', Serhant took viewers on a full tour of the luxurious mansion. Nicknamed Orchard's End, the pop sensation rented the dwelling for an eye-watering $US75,000 ($A114,000) a month for nearly two years. The Grammy-winner is said to have written multiple songs while living there, including her upcoming 16th album and her verse in the remix of Muni Long's single, 'Made for Me.' Serhant listing agents Danielle Malloy and Jessica Lane told Mansion Global that the star had moved out of the home in the beginning of 2025. Situated on a 6.26-acre lot, the mansion boasts 12-bedrooms and 12.5-bathrooms. According to its listing, the property underwent a significant $US6 million ($A9.1 million), three-year overhaul in 2014. The current owners hired 'world-renowned architect' Dinyar Wadia, who expanded the main residence as well as a guesthouse that sits on the estate. 'The main residence [was] improved and expanded [with] a four-bedroom guesthouse, along with a custom designed 5,000-square-foot wellness centre, a custom pool with spa and new terraces [that] transformed Orchard's End into a true masterpiece. 'In a recent interview with Dinyar, he stated he believes in today's market the main house alone would cost in excess of 25 million dollars ($A38 million dollars) to replicate,' the listing adds. The home's exterior is rightfully compared to a castle and is surrounded by lush greenery, while also boasting a tennis court and a resort-style pool. Upon entering the homes, guests are greeted with an elegant dining area complete with a chic chandelier, moulded ceilings, an elegant fireplace, and several windows that allow for natural light to flood in. There is also a grand piano by the window, which is sure to be the spot Carey belted out some tunes. Another dining area boasts wood-beamed ceilings and a large table, while a third spot comes complete with cozy couches, custom shelves, and a fireplace. The chef's kitchen is surely made for a star as it boasts a large island, plenty of cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, wood-beamed ceilings, and a gold stove. An office space follows the same wooden aesthetic and features built-in shelving, a wooden desk, and a large window. The estate is the perfect spot to entertain guests as it features several elegant areas to entertain guests and throw dinner parties. Another room even comes complete with a pool table for when guests want to experience something more casual. The master bedroom features a kingsize bed, large window, and a fireplace. Attached, there is also a walk-in closet, complete with a large island and plenty of shelf space. Meanwhile, the primary bathroom features a marble soaking tub and his-and-her vanities. Upstairs, there is a large playroom with a basketball hoop game and more. There is also a sauna, theatre room, and private gym on the grounds.

‘100 million': Pure insanity horrifies UFC legend
UFC legend Ronda Rousey has experienced her fair share of fights, but it was an insane knockout at Power Slap 13 over the weekend that left her absolutely gobsmacked. The former fighter was sitting front row at Power Slap 13 in Las Vegas when she witnessed the bout between pro wrestlers Stunt Marshall and Dontae Smiley. A left-handed slap from Marshall sent Smiley limp. Footage shows Smiley's head hitting the podium before falling backwards, his body limp. Support staff supported his arms and shoulders as they guided him to the floor. The KO stunned the arena, with audible screams and gasps from the crowd. Rousey was visibly stunned, holding a hand to her mouth and looking around in disbelief. The viral video attracted a wave of comments from shocked fans. 'Is bro dead?' one person asked. 'That might be the most brutal one I've seen so far. Even Ronda Rousey was shocked,' another commented. 'Okay new safety measures should be implemented after this cause no way that table isn't padded on the sides,' another concerned viewer said. UFC President Dana White re-shared footage of the fight to his Instagram, stating that the footage had garnered 100 million views in 18 hours. The former UFC star Ronda Rousey spent most of her career as seemingly unbeatable. Her dominance came to a crashing halt when Holly Holm knocked her out with a stunning second-round head kick in 2015. It was the first loss of Rousey's career. She previously shared that a history of concussions has put an end to her UFC career. 'I'd like people to understand my reasons and motivations behind things,' Rousey said in an Instagram Live in 2024. 'I was forced to leave fighting when I was faster, stronger, more skilled and had a better understanding of the art than ever before. It was a really hard decision to understand, one that my body made for me.'

Eighties movie star unrecognisable in rare public outing
An eighties screen star cut a completely different figure as she ran errands in Los Angeles. The American actress, now 73, has been a firm fixture in film and TV and currently stars in Netflix hit Virgin River. Yet Annette O'Toole left fans doing a double take as she showed off her unrecognisable appearance on a day away from the cameras. She pulled on an oversized long-sleeve lilac top paired with green trousers, covering up in a pair of sunglasses. The Superman star left her silver hair flowing over her shoulders and padded around Los Angeles in dark trainers. She clutched her car keys in one hand and what appeared to be a dry cleaning slip in another. Showing that - despite her celebrity status - she's just like the rest of us, Texas screen star Annette was spotted collecting her laundry. Later on, she was seen with a black cross body bag and a camel-coloured coat after nipping back to her vehicle. She currently plays mayor Hope McCrea in Virgin River, yet has had a stellar screen career beforehand. The mum of two starred in Superman III alongside Christopher Reeve as well as in movies Cross My Heart and 48 Hours. On the small screen, she has starred in Smallville and the TV adaptation of Stephen King tome It, as well as in Nash Bridges. During her early film roles, her wavy brunette locks were on full display. They reached past shoulder height, but the star has now embraced her natural colour and a shorter cut. In her recent snaps, she also went fresh-faced as opposed to made-up, showing off her natural beauty. Perils of the job Annette, who is married to American actor and comedian Michael McKeen, recently opened up about feeling homesick after travelling around the globe with her job. She told Hello! about her Virgin River role, which sees her shooting in Vancouver, Canada, and admitted she missed her family. The star confessed: 'Oh, many times – the whole time! 'That's the hardest part about the show for me, it's being away from my family because my husband works as well and he's all over the place. 'So he's in a different location and my kids are grown and all over the place. 'My mum is 99. She's in LA, and that's hard too because I've been concerned about her, but she has wonderful help and we do the best we can like everyone. 'We're all in the same boat where we're kind of split and trying to be in two places at once.'
