Jan 28, 2014 6:54 PM CUT It’s one of the Internet’s best-kept secrets: Vin Diesel has one of the best [Facebook pages](https://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel "undefined") of all time. He regularly posts a bewildering mixture of selfies, movie promo shots and personal family photos — all of which garner millions of likes and thousands of comments — to his 63 million Facebook fans. Yes, you read that number right: Vin Diesel has the [15th most popular page](http://fanpagelist.com/category/top%5Fusers/ "undefined") on Facebook. That means he has more fans than Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, _Family Guy_, Taylor Swift and a host of other big names. Earlier today he posted a stunning example of what makes his page so great. Here’s what we learned from the seven-minute video. 1) Some people still use iMovie. Diesel’s a big fan of cuts, even though this video is ostensibly meant to seem off the cuff. Make sure you watch until the very end or you’ll miss the his text message of “All is love…” floating across the screen. 2) He has a penchant for posting videos of himself performing female singer’s song. In the past he’s warbled a mean — and [surprisingly heartfelt](http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/02/17/watch-vin-diesel-sings-cover-of-rihannas-stay-for-valentines-day/ "undefined") — karaoke [rendition](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzxoGArufdc "undefined") of Rihanna’s _Stay_. 3) Some people still buy DVDs. At least according to Vin Diesel. At the 3:24 mark, Diesel reveals that the whole reason for this delightful video is that _Riddick_ — the third film in the _Pitch Black_ series that holds a special place in [Diesel’s heart](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/09/04/how-a-smart-deal-got-vin-diesel-the-rights-to-riddick/ "undefined") for a number of reasons — is number one on the DVD charts. Apparently these charts are still a [thing](http://moviepilot.com/stories/1225992-riddick-storms-to-top-of-dvd-charts-could-we-see-a-riddick-4 "undefined"). Who knew? 4) He’s really, really into Juicy J’s verse on Katy Perry’s _Dark Horse_. He rewinds that section at least five times so he can headbang, dance with his fingers in the air and stare pensively out the window while muttering along to the music 5) His teeth are very straight and shiny. 6) What the [serfbort](http://www.thefrisky.com/2013-12-26/in-self-titled-3-beyonce-talks-about-the-making-of-drunk-in-love/ "undefined") dance move looks like. Click forward to 4:51 to watch him dance his heart out to _Drunk in Love_. If you’re curious, know that the proper version of this dance involves claps, snaps, spins, lots of shouting “oh oh oh!” and an attempt to “grain it on that wood.” Beyoncé would be proud. \[h/t [Digg](http://digg.com/video/vin-diesel-dance-beyonce "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2253/6-things-we-learned-from-watching-vin-diesel-dance-to-katy-perry-and-beyonce/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2253/6-things-we-learned-from-watching-vin-diesel-dance-to-katy-perry-and-beyonce/"},"headline":"6 Things We Learned from Watching Vin Diesel Dance to Katy Perry and Beyoncé","datePublished":"2014-01-28T18:54:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:06:48.313Z","description":"He's drunk in love with himself","url":"https://time.com/2253/6-things-we-learned-from-watching-vin-diesel-dance-to-katy-perry-and-beyonce/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","facebook","Katy Perry","Beyonce","Appreciation","Vin Diesel"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kelly Conniff","jobTitle":"Conniff is deputy editor at TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/kelly-conniff/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2253/6-things-we-learned-from-watching-vin-diesel-dance-to-katy-perry-and-beyonce/","name":"6 Things We Learned from Watching Vin Diesel Dance to Katy Perry and Beyoncé"}}]}] ```
