Jean-Claude Van Damme and Vin Diesel
After knowing Vin Diesel’s thoughts on the idea of Jean-Claude Van Damme in the Fast & Furious franchise, fans sparked some reactions. Some believe that The Bouncer star was perfect to enter the franchise.
One X user (@mtplug_grinder) said: “All jokes aside he would have made a bad ass villain.” Another X user (@CallaWolf87) believed that Diesel was afraid that another actor (like the famous Van Damme) would steal his spotlight:
“Was it because he was afraid to have another better actor steal the scenes away? I mean JCVD isn’t the greatest actors, but at least he doesn’t have a permanent scowl and say how he’s “doing it for family” every time he swings at someone.”
