Vin Diesel recently made an appearance on the talk show, “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross,” and it was an interview filled with entertainment and laughter. Host Jonathan Ross kicked off the conversation by expressing his pleasure at having Vin Diesel on the show and reminiscing about their brief encounter many years ago. The conversation quickly turned to Vin Diesel‘s involvement in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, which he described as a fun film to make. He explained that it took eight years for him to return to the franchise because the scripts for the sequels weren’t right in his opinion.
One of the notable aspects of Vin Diesel is his deep and distinct voice. Ross pointed this out and jokingly mentioned that Diesel’s voice is even deeper than Barry White’s. The actor revealed that he used his deep voice for his role in the animated film “The Iron Giant,” although he couldn’t sustain it for long periods without straining his vocal cords. He humorously shared stories of people mistaking him for someone else over the phone due to his unique voice, which he admitted can be advantageous when creating characters or going incognito.
Ross commended Diesel on his portrayal of Riddick in the film “Pitch Black” and expressed his anticipation for the upcoming third installment. Diesel revealed that the director, David Tui, is almost finished with the script, and they plan to start filming early next year. The conversation then veered into Diesel’s love for video games and his past interest in playing Dungeons and Dragons. Ross playfully teased Diesel about being a gamer, to which the actor admitted his fondness for video games and even shared that his wife is a level 80 player in World of Warcraft.
The highlight of the interview came when Ross surprised Diesel with a canister of weapons-grade helium. Ross explained that he wanted to conduct a small experiment to see how Diesel’s voice would sound under the influence of the gas. Diesel, always up for some excitement, took a deep breath of the helium and hilariously recited a few words with a squeaky voice, much to the amusement of the audience.
Overall, Vin Diesel‘s appearance on “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross” was a delightful mix of fun banter, humorous anecdotes, and unexpected surprises. It showcased Diesel’s charisma and his ability to entertain both on and off the screen. Fans can look forward to seeing him in the upcoming third installment of the “Riddick” series and perhaps even catching him in some epic gaming sessions.
