Vin Diesel is an actor who's always game for action films. Adding to his credits are "Riddick", "Pitch Black," "XXX" and of course, the "Fast and Furious' movies. However, according to recent comments made by Diesel, the actor seems to have had a change of heart from action movies.
The cast and crew of "Fast and Furious 7" took a break in filming when Walker died. It's not just to mourn for the late actor, but it was also to cope and be able to continue acting the scenes that Walker was supposedly in as well.
Diesel took Walker's death really hard. And it is also during this time that he realized that he no longer wants to do dangerous stunts for movies.
"A lot of people don't realise when you do these action movies you put your life on the line more than you should," Diesel tells IBNLive. "When you're doing these action films and you're... for lack of a better description, a method-like thespian, and when you go into these action sequences, you put yourself in harm's way in kind of an unfair fashion."
Aside from rethinking his interest in doing action movies, Diesel also shared about difficult it was to control his emotions during filming.
"I grew up in the bouncing world and we lost people bouncing, but the brotherhood in Paul Walker was something completely different," Diesel said. "We grew up in the business together and we became famous together and we represented the biggest franchise together and he was my partner and it's a strange thing... I've been acting all my life and they don't teach you in acting how to mourn someone and simultaneously pretend they're in a scene with you. It's one of the darker moments in my journey."
"Fast and Furious 7" will hit theaters on April 3, 2015. Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, Luke Evans, Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster and Ludacris will return. UFC's Ronda Rousey, ONG BAK's star Tony Jaa, Jason Statham and Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody Walker will join the cast too.
