Vin Diesel Just Did The Ice Bucket Challenge And You Won't Believe Who He Called Out After

Vin Diesel took on the ice bucket challenge, dumping a steel pot full of ice cubes all over himself before dropping the same challenge on three very familiar names: Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie and Putin -- presumably Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Because why not?

Vin Diesel posted the above video on his #Vinstagram page. He's one of numerous A-listers to cover himself in ice in an effort to bring awareness to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, aka Lou Gherig's Disease). And anyone with a Facebook account has likely seen the videos popping up as people, famous or not, dump icy cold water on themselves and challenge friends and relatives (and sometimes political leaders, I guess) to do the same or donate money to an ALS charity. The trend has really caught on, people have been having fun with it, and that includes actors like Tom Hiddleston and Chris Pratt, and also athletes (including LeBron James) and pop stars (Taylor Swift).

Vin Diesel, who was last heard in Guardians of the Galaxy (he is Groot), and will next be seen in 7, took a similar approach to Arrow star Stephen Amell in going full-ice with his bucket... or in Amell's case, garbage can. Check out Amell's video below:

Amell accepted the challenge from his cousin Robbie, and he passed it along to The Flash star Grant Gustin, Arrow's John Barrowman and Supernatural's Jared Padalecki.

Assistant Managing Editor

Kelly put her life-long love of movies, TV and books to greater use when she joined CinemaBlend as a freelance TV news writer in 2006, and went on to serve as the site’s TV Editor before joining the staff full-time in 2011 and moving over to other roles at the site. At present, she’s an Assistant Managing Editor who spends much of her time brainstorming and editing features, analyzing site data, working with writers and editors on content planning and the workflow, and (of course) continuing to obsess over the best movies and TV shows (those that already exist, and the many on the way). She graduated from SUNY Cortland with BA in Communication Studies and a minor in Cinema Studies. When she isn't working, she's probably thinking about work, or reading (or listening to a book), and making sure her cats are living their absolute best feline lives.
