'The Fate of the Furious' will be a hit, thinks Vin Diesel's daughter
Vin Diesel’s daughter Pauline apparently knows that “The Fate of the Furious” is going to be a blockbuster film. The 22-month-old, who is named after Paul Walker, seems to take pride in walking on the sets of her father’s forthcoming flick.
Diesel’s “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” is already performing well at the box office, and now his fans are waiting for “Furious 8” to hit the screens soon. The movie is a little different from the previous instalments of the franchise. It is going to be the first film after Paul Walker’s (Brian O'Conner) death. Furthermore, there are new additions to the cast as well.
Diesel recently shared Pauline’s picture on Facebook, in which she was seen walking on the sets of “The Fate of the Furious.” The 49-year-old actor described his young one as one who walked with pride as if she knew the fate of the movie.
“At only a year old, Pauline walks on to the F8 set, with pride, like she knows the movie is going to be a hit. It is a testament to the level of family the whole cast and crew regard this production,” Diesel said.
Furthermore, he thanked his fans writing, “Thank you for believing in us as much as you have over the decades. Our gratitude is reflected in our commitment and desire to reach higher each time." (See the post below.)
Last month, Diesel shared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as to how his daughter has inherited his love for cars. He said that the 22-month-old already has a favourite car.
“Do you know my daughter, she’s only 22 months old, has a favourite car already? I think it runs in the genes.” Pauline’s favourite car is “Dodge Daytona — ’69 Dodge Daytona,” he said. Diesel is also father to eight-and-a-half-year-old daughter Similce, six-and-a-half-year-old son Vincent with longtime girlfriend Paloma Jimenez.
Diesel also revealed how Pauline fights for the car when she is playing with other kids. “And I go, ‘Pauline, where’s your favourite car?’ She goes over to the Dodge Daytona, lifts it up, and brings it to me.” The toy Dodge Daytona car that Pauline plays with is in red burgundy colour, just like the one in “Fast & Furious 6.”
“The Fate of the Furious” will mark the debut of Charlize Theron (Cipher), Kurt Russell (Mr Nobody) and Helen Mirren (in an undisclosed role) in the franchise. Directed by F Gary Gray, the movie will be released in Australia on April 12.
