While Vin Diesel is renowned for portraying tough, unyielding characters with impenetrable exteriors in his movies, the real Vin Diesel is a self-proclaimed nerd at heart. A recent video surfaced on Vin Diesel’s Black Box Video YouTube channel, showcasing the actor’s unabashed love for the role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons.
In the video, Diesel expresses his excitement after playing a game of Dungeons and Dragons, a game he hadn’t played in a long time. His unfiltered happiness shines through as he shares his genuine enjoyment of the experience. Vin Diesel’s passion for Dungeons and Dragons is well-known, as he even wrote the foreword for the commemorative book “30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons.” In a nod to his devotion, he sported a fake tattoo of his character’s name, Melkor, on his chest during the filming of xXx.
In the video, Vin Diesel can be seen playing with members of Critical Role, a popular web series where voice actors play Dungeons and Dragons. This collaboration serves as a promotion for his latest feature film, “The Last Witch.”
Towards the end of the video, Vin Diesel reveals that he is heading to a meeting to discuss the upcoming Fast and Furious films, showcasing the contrast between his tough on-screen persona and his genuine enthusiasm for the world of Dungeons and Dragons.
This revelation highlights the multi-faceted nature of Vin Diesel’s interests and passions. While he may portray rugged action heroes on the silver screen, his love for Dungeons and Dragons reveals a softer, more nerdy side to his personality. Vin Diesel’s unapologetic embrace of his hobbies and his ability to find joy in unexpected places adds depth to his public persona and further endears him to his fans.
