Vin Diesel has revealed F9: The Fast Saga director Justin Lin wanted the actor’s son Vincent in the movie.
The 53-year-old star got emotional while opening up about working with his 10-year-old boy Vincent in the action blockbuster, and he explained what it meant having him involved.
Appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” he said: “First of all, it wasn’t my idea, it was Justin Lin, the director.
“We’ve been making these movies for so long that every time one of my children were born, I was usually working on a ‘Fast & Furious’ movie…
“The thing I remember the most was coming home that day because when you see the movie, it’s kind of a deep scene so Dom is in a deep state of mind.
“My son was watching me work the whole day and it wasn’t until I got home that I saw a twinkle in his eye because he had finally seen his father come home, opposed to being with Dom Toretto the whole day.”
Meanwhile, Diesel recently confirmed singer Cardi B will be back as Leysa for F10 after making her first appearance in the ninth movie.
He teased: “We are very much excited to evolve her character and to expand it to the finale. “She made it just in time. She came in Fast 9 just in time.”
And filmmaker Lin has heaped praise on the rapper for her performance in front of the camera.
He added: “I love Cardi, you know? I mean, it’s amazing she showed up and within a minute she’s part of the family, right?
“And I love how when I got together with her, her and Vin were talking about the character because she’s actually really embedded into the overall universe, she’s been around for a long time and this is just the first time we are seeing her, so I’m really excited to explore that character of her.
“I’ll work with her any day.”
