Vin Diesel was at the centre of a false health scare after viral Facebook posts claimed the Fast & Furious star had suffered a stroke and undergone life-or-death surgery, using fabricated hospital images that appeared to show John Cena at his bedside.
The posts, shared this week on a page called Spacefunk and liked tens of thousands of times, alleged that the 58-year-old actor was left with a permanently damaged leg. There is no credible evidence to support any of these claims.
