Personal Life
In the early 2000s, Vin Diesel had a romantic relationship with actress Michelle Rodriguez. He eventually met Paloma Jimenez, and they have two daughters, Hania (born in 2008) and Pauline (born in 2015), as well as a son, Vincent (born in 2010). Pauline’s name is derived from Paul Walker (b.1973-d.2013), who worked with her father on the Fast & Furious series and died in 2013.
Career
Diesel’s mother gave him a book that explained how to make his own movies, which led to him writing, directing, producing, and acting in a short film called Multi-Facial (1999).
The film was accepted at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, but it did not perform as well as he had hoped. However, Steven Spielberg called him in 1997 on the basis of Diesel’s work in his first time, and the young actor was subsequently offered a role in Saving Private Ryan, a true story about sacrifice and heroism in World War II, starring Tom Hanks.
Diesel has become a prominent actor, making appearances in notable franchises like The Fast and the Furious (2001), XXX (2002), and The Chronicles of Riddick (2004).
