son
Vincent
who
suggested
him
to
chose
the
iconic

Of
The
Galaxy.
"I
went
to
meet
with
Kevin
Feige
(Marvel
Studios
President)
for
a
couple
hours
to
talk.
A
couple
of
weeks
later,
Marvel
sent
over
a
book
of
concept
art
and
they
had
this
crazy
idea
that
kind
of
played
to
the
Iron
Giant
character
I
played
in
the
beginning
of
my
career." Said
Vin
Diesel.
"And
what
sealed
the
deal
for
me
was
when
I
opened
up
the
giant
book
of
concept
art
and
fell
in
love
with
the
character
Groot."
The
actor
added.
Diesel
said,
when
he
looked
up
to
his
3-year-old
son
for
the
suggestion,
his
son
chose
the
tree
for
Vin
Diesel
to
play
in
the
Guardians
Of
The
Galaxy.
And
the
actor
though
it
was
the
perfect
match
for
him.
"I
asked
my
son
which
character
he
thought
Daddy
should
play,
and
my
son,
Vincent,
who
was
three
at
the
time,
pointed
to
the
tree.
And
something
about
that
made
me
feel
like
it
was
going
to
be
the
perfect
match."
Diesel
added.
Talking
about
the
character,
Diesel
said
he
found
the
Groot
to
be
enigmatic.
"I
loved
the
gentle
giant
aspect
of
Groot.
I
loved
how
enigmatic
the
character
is.
He's
been
labelled
the
most
interesting
character
in
the
Marvel
universe
because
he's
so
unique
and
so
different,"
Diesel
stated.
