The Last Witch Hunter star opted for a casual look for the evening out with his son, and sported a fur-lined black leather jacket.

Teaming his jacket with a sweater, which featured a print of a face, and a pair of boot-cut jeans, the actor rounded his look off with a pair of black boots.

Retaining a hint of his movie star credentials, Vin sported a large pair of aviator sunglasses throughout the game.

Earlier on in the day, Vin posted a video of himself and his young son, captioning it: ‘Headed to his first Basketball game…As he says… DIESELS ROCK! Haha.’
