Vin Diesel is almost unrecognisable after gaining weight and losing his sick-pack

VIN DIESEL is known for his bulging biceps and ripped body.

But the actor and producer was sporting a softer frame as he lounged at his hotel.

The star of the hit franchise was pictured on the balcony of his Miami Beach hotel and looked a lot softer around the edges (not that we’re complaining).

Gone were those ripped arms and that rock hard six-pack.

Vin, 48, was sporting a stern look as he smoked and peered over the edge of the balcony as he lounged around in what appeared to be a pair of boxers.

His appearance comes after he revealed Fast and Furious will come to an end after one final trilogy.

The father-of-three is currently working on finding a director for the eighth movie in the series and revealed that he will bow out after three more films.

Writing on Facebook, he said: " Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision... they have been like family... I promised the studio I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga."

While it had been claimed producers were struggling to find a director for the upcoming eighth movie in the franchise, Vin insisted he's just being picky because he wants to deliver the best film possible for the fans.

He explained: "The fans of the Fast & Furious SAGA are the best fans in the world... Since I became the Producer in 2008, you have been with me every step of the way... literally giving me feedback that proved invaluable. Thank you."
