— -- For those who care about this sort of thing, Vin Diesel wants you to know he's still Diesel.

After pictures surfaced last week of the actor, 48, on his hotel balcony shirtless, he spoke out on Instagram about body shaming. In the pics, the actor didn't look like his usual ripped self.

"It is amazing the response from the journalists who I have been talking to for the last two days in New York," he wrote, while promoting his latest movie, "The Last Witch Hunter," at Comic Con 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?"

The "Fast & Furious" star then posted a picture of his ripped abs to really hammer home his point.

"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," he wrote.
