Let's Talk About Muscle Daddy Vin Diesel

Just watched him in a piece of dreck called "Pitch Black" from 2000. If it wasn't for his beautiful body, I probably wouldn't have bothered to watch the whole thing. He's always given me a leather daddy gay porn star vibe. Even his name sounds like a gay porn star's. What's up with him? 54,

He's always given me a leather daddy gay porn star vibe. Even his name sounds like a gay porn star's. What's up with him? 54, never married, but has a litter of kids.

Anybody had him?

Pitch Black was a decent, sci-fi/horror genre B-movie.

He's a textbook example of the category "ugly-hot."

I was crazy about him once.

R3 Pitch Black had Radha Mitchell, one of the most annoying actresses to ever stink up the screen. She ruined it for me.

The tats are tragic, but he's definitely moving into muscle daddy territory these days.

He and The Rock came to blows on the set of one of those nimrod Fast and Furious movies. The Rock got a spinoff and leads other tentpoles.

Vin is on his last legs.

I wonder if he ever bent over Paul Walker in his trailer during breaks in Fast and Furious filming.

Saw him interview years ago on some late night talk show (David Letterman?), um...I was astonished how many purses fell out of his mouth when he started talking. He must have let his guard down. If I remember correctly the host seemed momentarily shocked as well.

Gurl!

Do we have any verification of Vin's preference for the boys, or like most of DL, is it all just rumors and "a friend of a friend told me..." stories.

R18 Not so fast, not so furious these days.

Pitch Black was the movie that got him noticed. He was so hot in it--he has intense screen presence and charisma. And he has that great deep growly voice. He's not handsome, though (his head is like a potato),

He puffed up soon after the XXX movies, however, and has never got back down to fighting weight.

He's been lucky the Fast and the Furious franchise has been so successful because it's made him a lot of money and given him steady work.

Yes, Rose. We have signed affidavits and DNA testimony. Plus photos of him holding a sign that says, "I'm gay as a goose!"

Is he the one who has a twin brother who's supposedly gay? Wasn't Vin once trying to say people were mistaking him for his gay twin and it wasn't him people were seeing in gay bars and in the embrace of other men?

Vin has admitted to working in gay bars - as a HETEROSEXUAL MAN - who dates in Europe.

I remember when Sidney Lumet cast him as the lead in "Find Me Guilty." Everyone thought Lumet had lost his mind, but Diesel was surprisingly good in it.

Looks very different - almost handsome - with a hairpiece.

I used to volunteer with an org called Fresh Air Fund and Vin’s sister was quite involved; one year she got him heavily involved. Apparently they grew up on the poor side and were very sensitive to the mission. He was extremely professional and nice and generous with his time but guarded. I got zero reads from him and neither did anyone else. His sister was fun and works for Vin, as do some of his other family members, a very common situation with stars.

"Pitch Black" isn't dreck but the idiot's taste is.

R41 Poor. I’m r37. He was raised in westbeth. I have no idea where he went to high school. “To live in one of the apartments, potential residents had to prove they were both poor and working artists. (Their art was judged by a committee.) As a result, the place was crawling with creativity. The dance pioneer Merce Cunningham had studio space there, Miles Davis played at a friend’s apartment at Westbeth, and photographer Diane Arbus lived there—and, alas, died there, when she committed suicide in 1971.”

R6 I agree with your opinion of Radha Mitchell, however Pitch Black in 2000 was my first exposure to her and at the time I didn’t know she would annoy me in subsequent films, what with her wannabe RBF facial expression and low-pulse emoting and mousey faux androgyny.

The sexiest thing about him is his raspy deep voice. The body has deteriorated and the extra fat just highlights his weak chin.

Vin Diesel attended Anglo-American (now merged with Dwight) prep school on UWS, not UES.

"Vin Diesel went to Anglo American which merged with Dwight later but was a separate school then. Here is a blurb about him from Dwight today a Dwight School publication

Mark Vincent (aka Vin Diesel), Anglo ’85 Outstanding Achievement Award Renowned Hollywood Actor/Director/Producer Mark Vincent attended the Anglo–American School along with his twin brother Paul Vincent. Mark wrote, produced, and acted in a short film called Multi Facial, which was selected for screening at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.

R60 i was just on Reddit and someone spilled some tea on Vin being gay. They also mentioned some drama with Travolta.

Oh well if it's on Reddit it must be true.

by Anonymousreply 65August 10, 2021 10:51 PM

[Quote] Vin Diesel. This tea comes from a gay relative who lived in NYC in the 80's and 90's. Vin Diesel was a part of the gay scene and did promo work for gay clubs, giving out flyers and stuff. Doesn't mean a thing, tho, and he doesn't owe coming out as bi or gay to any of us.

[Quote] John Travolta was picked up by law enforcement for soliciting sex on the gay cruising trails in Stanley Park while filming either Look Who's Talking or the sequel, can't remember which. EDIT: on set he can be a total queen with a great sense of humor and is fun to work with.

I thought Pitch Black was highly effective and Vin was fantastic in it - the body, the voice, even the face.

He exuded menace and sex in equal measure.

he was never quite that good ever again - but it was a high bar to set of its kind.

by Anonymousreply 67August 11, 2021 5:28 AM

R66 Handing out flyers for gay clubs doesn't make someone gay.

I don't think anyone's surprised about the Travolta story. I'd be shocked to learn he *didn't* have some kind of sexual escapade while on set.

by Anonymousreply 68August 11, 2021 11:58 AM

Handing out flyers or otherwise working in a gay bar or club does *NOT* make a man anywhere near homosexual....

A good majority of strippers, go-go boys, bouncers, bartenders, etc.. at gay clubs and bars are straight. Yes, some may have done a bit of extra work on side to make money now and then (gay for pay ), and they certainly had no problems with gay men ogling them and stuffing money down their jocks, but that was something else entirely.

Proof of this was how many dancers or whatever had their girlfriends hovering somewhere in background in club or bar. That or in a place with mixed clientele they managed to pull the few females in the place.

Diesel has said he prefers to maintain his privacy regarding his personal life, stating: "I'm not gonna put it out there on a magazine cover like some other actors. I come from the Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino code of silence. "
