Of course, it should be noted that Variety found no evidence of such a study at Princeton when it reported on the new viral Vin Diesel post. Instead, the tweet belongs to a meme trend where someone posts a 3D model of a celebrity for humorous effect. The trend can be traced back to 2018 when a Twitter claimed a render of Britney Spears was created by a Harvard research team attempting to model how the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra may have looked. Other celebrities to be featured in the meme include Andre the Giant, Lady Gaga, and Dom Toretto's 1970 Dodge Charger from the Fast & Furious films.

While many people seemed to be fooled by the viral joke, other eagle-eyed Twitter s pointed out that the image was actually Vin Diesel fanart. Although this meme doesn't reveal the face of Adam, it does highlight Diesel's enduring popularity. Diesel remains the heart of the Fast & Furious franchise, and his reappearance in Fast X is expected to bring another hit for the film series. With that in mind, it wouldn't be surprising to see Vin Diesel trending again soon.
