Watch Vin Diesel dance alone in his room to Katy Perry and Beyoncé

The video is heavily edited, but it’s hard to notice when Diesel’s attempting to lick the camera.

Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel took to Facebook early this morning to address his fans and let them know that his 2013 sci-fi action film Riddick is currently the number one best-selling DVD in its first week of release. But he offered fans something else. 

The Facebook post just says, “You know I love music,” and Diesel more than proves that as he dances first to Katy Perry’s pop-trap hit “Dark Horse,” then Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love.” The video is heavily edited, but it’s hard to notice when Diesel’s attempting to lick the camera.

During “Drunk in Love,” he pulls back a bit, and we see his whole form undulating, lit by an early morning light. When he gets to the “surfboart” part, he mimics riding a surfboard or … something close. Sort of disappointed he doesn’t actually grind on that wood. Was hoping for a “Grind With Me” redux. 

 

While his performances don’t quite mirror Perry and Beyoncé’s dark magic from the Grammys, it is a reminder that somewhere, Vin Diesel dances like no one’s watching, and then uploads it to Facebook, just like the rest of us.
