Vin Diesel has opened up about the importance of Michael Caine in his life.
Taking it to Instagram, the Fast and furious star dropped a photo of him with Caine.
He mentioned in the post how the 92-year-old helped him through his dark phase of life.
The actor opened the tribute by writing: “The world watched me present you with a Lifetime Achievement Award this week. Your wife, daughters and grandchildren were watching. What they didn’t see was everything else…”
The 58-year-old shared a rare story that many people don’t know about. There was a time in his life when he lost someone he wasn’t ready to lose, and Michael helped him cope with the loss.
The XXX star revealed: “Twelve years ago I lost someone I wasn’t ready to lose… the world wasn’t ready to lose. You were there… not with words, but with purpose. You allowed me to play Kaulder. When mortality had its grip on my life, you brought immortality.”
Diesel appreciates how Caine, despite being a legend, prioritizes family.
He wrote: “When I’m at your house, I notice the walls. Only photographs of family. Not legends or movies, just family. It’s not simplicity. It’s a statement.”
Work-wise, Vin returns as Dominic Toretto Fixed X: Part 2which is scheduled to be published in April 2027.
