Antoine Griezmann has put talk of Manchester United and Real Madrid moves to one side by hanging out with Fate of the Furious stars Vin Diesel and Charlize Theron.

The Atletico Madrid forward was on hand to meet the Hollywood heroes at a photocall in the Spanish capital.

Filipe Luis was also in attendance to help present Diesel and Theron with their own personalised Atleti shirts.

The pair were in Spain as part of the promotional tour for the eagerly-anticipated eighth instalment of the Fast & Furious franchise.

Filipe Luis told reporters: "I am excited to see the actors.

"I watch many films and series and to see them up close is exciting."

The Brazilian defender was in buoyant mood having upstaged Griezmann in Atleti’s last two outings.

Having failed to score in 35 previous appearances this season, the former Chelsea defender found the target in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Malaga before repeating the trick on Tuesday to edge out Real Sociedad 1-0.
