American actor and filmmaker Vin Diesel has turned 54 today. To mark the occasion, check out some of the actor’s never-seen-before family snaps.
When it comes to action-thriller movies of Hollywood, Vin Diesel is undoubtedly one of the first names to come to mind. Best known for playing the role of Dominic Toretto in the hit Fast & Furious franchise, Diesel has come a long way to establish himself as one of the leading action stars. The 54-year-old began his acting career in 1990 but struggled to earn fame until he wrote, directed, produced and starred in the short film Multi-Facial. The film attracted the attention of filmmaker Steven Spielberg, who was developing Saving Private Ryan at the time and re-wrote a few elements of the film to allow Vin to appear in a supporting role.
Subsequently, Diesel voiced the titular character in The Iron Giant while gaining recognition as an action star after starring in Fast & Furious, XXX, and The Chronicles of Riddick film franchises. He portrayed the comic book superhero Bloodshot in its 2020 film adaptation and is slated to appear in the sequels of Avatar. The actor has also voiced Groot in MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Ralph Breaks the Internet. Apart from action, Vin has also earned commercial success in other genres such as in the comedy The Pacifier as well as Find Me Guilty.
While his fans are up-to-date with his professional life, when it comes to his personal life, the actor is a very private person. Despite being very active on social media, Vin likes to keep his family away from the media glare. While he does share photos with his partner and kids every now and then, he is rarely seen revealing details about his off-screen life.
On the occasion of Diesel’s birthday today, let’s check out some adorable family moments of the action superstar.
Vin has been dating Mexican model Paloma Jimenez for quite some time now.
The lovebirds have been together for more than a decade now.
Diesel and Jimenez share three kids together.
