14 DAY TRIAL // Vin Diesel is featured in the latest issue of Men’s Fitness magazine and, luckily, Vulture has obtained a few excerpts – they’re seriously to die for.
First off, a word of caution: I’m not trying to be mean on purpose. I love Vin Diesel as much as the next girl, and I appreciate him for doing physically challenging and fun roles.
However, if there’s something holding him down in his career, that’s probably not his muscular frame.
“Being a physical presence will rule you out of a lot of roles. I couldn't have done Ferris Bueller's Day Off with that physical presence. But I like it as part of me; it's part of what I represent, and I think if Humphrey Bogart were around today he'd be a lot bigger,” Diesel muses.
“Hollywood is more concerned about its male actors being in shape than its female actors,” he adds.
He also says that, during the production of most recent “Fast & Furious,” he had nights when he’d kiss his kids goodnight and not know if he’d see them the next day because of the crazy stuff he’d do at work, on the set, for his “art.”
Maybe these quotes are totally taken out of context, but it does seem like Vin is doing a “woe me” routine, and that’s never cool.
