Father of three

Diesel is a proud dad of three children with his longtime partner and girlfriend Paloma Jimenez. His first daughter, Hania Riley, 15, was born in 2008, followed two years later by a son, Vincent Sinclair, 12, born in 2010. His third child, daughter Pauline, 8, was named after the actor’s late 'Fast and Furious' franchise co-star, Paul Walker.

Spotted by Steven Spielberg

Diesel took acting into his own hands after experiencing a lack of professional breaks and wrote and performed in the short film 'Multi-Facial', which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Diesel's three-page letter to Spielberg expressing his enthusiasm for the filmmaker's work and the short film both made an impression on the director, who then called Diesel for a part in 'Saving Private Ryan', which later led to the beginning of Diesel's successful Hollywood career.

Huge fan of Dungeons and Dragons

According to Factinate, Diesel is a huge 'Dungeons and Dragons' fan. It is evident since he made a birthday cake with a D&D motif, wrote the introduction to 'Thirty Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons', and even played D&D on the set of 'The Chronicles of Riddick'.
