Christina Aguilera recently flaunted her incredible figure after losing 40lbs over the years.

The 43-year-old songstress showed off her weight loss as she put on a dazzling display during her Las Vegas residency opening show.

She previously said she 'hated being super skinny' and has started embracing and 'loving my new curves', according to Health.

After years of fluctuating back and forth, she is now maintaining a slender and strong physique while 'having a booty'.

Her secret has been dedicating herself to a healthy, balanced diet and a rigorous exercise regime.

When she welcomed her son Max, now 15, in 2008, she was subjected to scrutiny over her weight gain.

Two years later, she started losing weight for her role in her 2010 film Burlesque.

However, that same year, her weight fluctuated again while going through a divorce from music composer Jordan Bratman, 46.

The Beautiful hitmaker also shares nine-year-old daughter Summer with her longtime fiancé, Matthew Rutler, 38.

Following her son's birth, she reportedly dropped 40lbs by restricting her daily food intake to 1600 calories and following the Rainbow Diet.

As part of her diet, she sticks to a plant-rich regime and consumes brightly colored fruits and vegetables every single day.

She has since given up on dieting and focuses on eating clean now, she revealed to L'Officiel Italia in 2020.

She noted that instead of being restrictive, she tries to consume more of whole foods and less of sugary snacks.

Besides her balanced diet, she also likes to stay very active and do a wide-ranging workout routine to keep fit.

She reportedly enjoys yoga, boxing, strength training as well as cardio exercises and will workout two to five times a week, according to In Touch Weekly.

She has also trained with celebrity fitness coach, Tee Sorge, to incorporate weight lifting and cardio to maximize calorie burn and maintain her curves.

In 2008, her trainer revealed to Glamour that she worked out 'up until she was eight months pregnant and then started back up a few months after [her son] Max was born'.

In February 2012, Aguilera spoke to Marie Claire and said she is now at peace with her figure. She said she blocks out all the noise and only cares about feeling good in her own skin.

'I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows,' she said at the time. 'I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale.'

At the end of the day, she said the only opinion she pays attention to is her own.

'It's noise I block out automatically,' she added. 'I love my body. My boyfriend loves my body. My son is healthy and happy, so that's all that matters to me.'

She noted that she also stopped weighing herself and quit restricting herself.

'When I worked on Burlesque, I lost so much weight that I was too skinny,' she said. 'I don't weigh myself — it's all about how I feel in my clothes.

'What looks good on one person might not look good on another body type,' she added.

'I happen to be very confident in my own skin,' she continued. 'It takes time to get to that place, but it's all about embracing yourself and your body.'

The Fast And Furious franchise is perhaps one of the most well-known and adored franchises in Hollywood. Outside of having an exceptionally talented cast, with actors like Jason Statham, Gal Gadot, Charlize Theron, and most famously, Vin Diesel, featured in their films, the franchise had also attracted its audience through the strong themes of familial bond, as well as their love for expensive and modified cars, and destroying them.

With the franchise being this iconic, it is difficult to imagine someone other than Diesel playing the role of Dominic Toretto, however, that would have been very likely if another actor had not turned down the job.

Timothy Olyphant Was Going To Play Dominic Toretto In The Fast and Furious Franchise

Neal Moritz, the producer of The Fast and Furious franchise, revealed that when the production team went to their studio with the concept of the franchise, they were told that if they could get Timothy Olyphant, best known for his work in Hitman, Scream 2, and The Girl Next Door, onto the project, it would be immediately greenlit.
Timothy Olyphant was the original pick
“The studio said, ‘If you get Timothy Olyphant to play the role of Dominic Toretto, the movie’s greenlit. We went to Tim, and he passed, and we wondered if we were going to get to make it.” Moritz stated.
This, unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, did not happen as Olyphant ended up rejecting the film. Thankfully for the studio, Vin Diesel had already made somewhat of a name for himself at the time through his work in Pitch Black and he agreed to play the protagonist of the film, joining his career-defining franchise

Why Did Timothy Olyphant Pass On The Fast and Furious Franchise?

The question that arises after learning the reality of Vin Diesel’s casting is why did Timothy Olyphant pass on playing Dom Toretto in The Fast and Furious franchise? The actor revealed that when he was approached with the franchise, the first thing that he thought was that the entire concept was quite stupid and that no one was going to watch it. He elaborated that he believed that he could not imagine someone watching the film multiple times, adding that eventually people would get bored of the movies.

“I just thought, well, this will just be stupid, and I thought no one is gonna wanna see this movie eight or nine different times. I mean, by the third or fourth sequel, people are gonna definitely get bored of it. Right?” he stated.
Olyphant was clearly wrong as the most recent film, Fast X is the tenth film in the main franchise and the first in a three-part finale. More unfortunately for him, Diesel has earned far more than $100 million for his work in the franchise, not to mention all the opportunities he has received due to his work here. It would seem, however, that Olyphant has no regrets about passing up this opportunity, stating that the franchise would not have been the right fit for him.
