Helen Mirren Threatened Vin Diesel That She Will Beat Him Up

Renowned Hollywood actress Helen Mirren had "threatened" Vin Diesel that she will beat him up severely if he didn't cast her in the upcoming Fast and Furious film.

Diesel said that the 71-year-old star was desperate to be a part in the Fast And Furious Franchise.

"You know, the term action star is a relatively new concept in the history of cinema. Clark Gable in 'Gone With The Wind' was not an action star, although he was riding a wagon with fire blazing all around him. Marlon Brando in 'The Wild One' might be considered an action star," Said Diesel.

"I wasn't really ever conscious of it. I've always approached my career with the same conviction and I think that's the hidden asset in the '...Fast' saga." Diesel added.

He continued, "That's probably why all these Oscar-winning actors have wanted to join the cast and be part of the mythology. Charlize Theron is in it."

"Helen Mirren, the wonderful and amazing Helen Mirren, accosted me at a Golden Globes party and basically threatened to beat me up if she wasn't going to be in one." Vin Diesel stated.

"Having these actors on the films was adding another element and dimension to what some might write off as just another action movie," the actor added further.
