EW's editorial guidelines Published on July 30, 2016 03:21PM EDT Photo: ADALBERTO ROQUE/AFP/Getty Images Vin Diesel has reached a Facebook milestone, one that only Shakira and soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo achieved before him: the actor and star of the Fast and Furious film saga surpassed 100 million likes on his popular, mildly addictive social media page. After making his first post on April 1, 2009, Diesel transformed his Facebook into a destination for fans, and he soon began using it as a platform to share updates on his latest projects. The actor recently debuted the first trailer for xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and the first look broke a viewing record for Paramount Pictures. He also uses Facebook to interact with fans and drum up buzz for projects he wants to execute. In the past, he’s teased the long talked-about Hannibal the Conquerer film, a non-Groot role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and another Iron Giant. But the real treasures are the fan art, like the ones below. https://www.facebook.com/ Diesel continues to provide updates on Fast and Furious 8, which recently played host to his daughter, Similce.
