Vin Diesel Says Casting His Son Vincent, 10, in F9 Was Directorโ€™s Idea: โ€˜I Canโ€™t Take the Creditโ€™

Some fans have suggested the โ€œXโ€ in the โ€œFXโ€ could be the Roman numeral for the number 10, according to The Independent. The franchiseโ€™s most recent movie was titled F9, leading some to believe Diesel is hinting at something.

Diesel shares Vincent, 10, and two other children with longtime girlfriend Paloma Jimenez: daughters Hania Riley, 13, and Pauline, 6.

Vincent appeared in F9 as a younger version of his dadโ€™s character, Dominic Toretto. Diesel credited director Justin Lin with the casting decision during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

โ€œWeโ€™ve been making these movies for so long, that every time one of my children were born, I was usually working on a Fast and Furious movie,โ€ he told the host. โ€œSo the director and the cast all have their own relationship with my children. And it was [Linโ€™s] idea for my son to play young Dom.โ€

The 10th film of the action franchise hits theaters on April 7, 2023. Returning for the 10th Fast & Furious movie is Cardi B., who made a big splash with her franchise debut in F9.
