Always labeled as an excellent driver, there are times when Vin Diesel becomes confused and humorous in front of mischievous children. That is his completely different image in the movie “Reluctant Nanny”.

The stage name Vin Diesel means motor oil, representing the action superstar’s enduring personality

His stage name means “engine oil” 
. Up to now, Vin Diesel is not only known as an action movie superstar but also a producer, director and screenwriter. Like many other artists, he did not directly use his real name, Mark Sinclair, as his stage name, but combined his stepfather’s last name – Vin (Vincent) and his nickname when he worked at a bar in New York – Diesel. Meaning motor oil.

At first, the public found this stage name to be nothing special, but Vin Diesel explained that it was formed thanks to his hard work and positive energy that he always brings to everyone. On the other hand, perhaps it was because of his difficult childhood that forced Vin Diesel to do many jobs such as nightclub bouncer and light bulb seller, thereby turning him into a resilient person who overcomes all challenges in life. 

Although he is passionate about acting, he started as a screenwriting major at Hunter College and worked as an independent film director and screenwriter. Therefore, Vin Diesel’s first leading role was in the short film Multi-Facial (1995), which he produced himself. 

In addition to being an actor, Vin Diesel is also known as a producer, director and screenwriter

After finishing college, he chose the most traditional route to reach his Hollywood dream, attending an audition in Los Angeles but luck was not on his side. During this time, Vin Diesel also tried many other arts such as rap singer and breakdancer. 

Career turns differently thanks to appearance

Few people know that Vin Diesel had no concept of an action superstar when he first started his career. Because of his muscular appearance, rugged appearance and cold charisma, he accidentally caught the eye of Universal. Even though he only appeared for a minute in Fast and Furious 3 – Tokyo Racetrack and did not receive a single salary, Vin Diesel was lucky enough to become the soul of this series from part four onwards. Thanks to that, the audience has new idols in the action movie genre, and Fast and Furious continuously dominates the box office. 

He became the soul of the series “Fast and Furious”

The name associated with the movie Fast and Furious has made many people mistakenly think that Vin Diesel is also a playboy in real life. On the contrary, the actor is a person with a warm heart and a clean private life. Vin Diesel’s good personalities from his lifestyle to his working style make many people admire and fondly call him an “emotional giant”. His small family with three children is also very happy, they live privately without being bothered by the press. 

In addition, Vin Diesel also surprised the public because of the fact that his body does not have any tattoos. He expressed his love for this type of art, so he just wanted to draw them on himself. Although he is the eldest brother of a racing team with brilliant temperament, Vin Diesel has no passion for collecting cars. 

Impressive in new image – nanny 

The opportunity to cooperate with Disney in the movie The Pacifier is truly a surprising transformation for Vin Diesel. From an action superstar, Vin Diesel entered a completely new field – children’s comedy. 

This is a film about Shane, a Navy SEAL assigned to take care of the family of five children of an assassinated scientist. The mischievous children always play tricks on Shane, forcing him to balance his care with love, gentleness and steely discipline. The role attracted Vin Diesel because it helped him explore the process by which a man with a tough personality is changed by his love for children.

“Reluctant Nanny” is Vin Diesel’s first film in the family comedy genre

“To me, Reluctant Nanny is like a familiar, humorous family movie from Disney. The character Shane is someone who is unaware of the concept of family and always tries to avoid relationships with people. Only since he took on the task of taking care of five children did he have the opportunity to try to become a father who knows how to break through his hard shell to care for them. This is a meaningful role for me, showing that a man is not only resilient in battles but also knows how to do housework such as changing diapers, cleaning the house…”, Vin Diesel said. 

No longer his “cool” image, Vin Diesel turned into a clumsy and humorous nanny

Although this collaboration did not bring the expected success, Reluctant Nanny will forever be Vin Diesel’s unforgettable memory and holds a separate position compared to his action movie assets. Also this time, the new image of a warm Vin Diesel was exploited a lot on the screen, making viewers excited. 

With the ability to transform into diverse roles, fans are extremely looking forward to many new images of Vin Diesel on the big screen. Vin Diesel’s Reluctant Nanny in particular and other genre projects in general will certainly always have a number of “hardcore fans” from the beginning.
