Vin Diesel
Riddick star has formed a solid legacy with his Fast and Furious movies and especially his character, Dominic Toretto. However, it would be interesting to know that the actor changed his real name a long time ago.
Vin Diesel changed his name in his early days
It is not strange for celebrities to take up a stage name different from their real ones when they are establishing their careers. Vin Diesel had also changed his name, but it was much before he entered the acting industry. Apparently, the actor took up the name Diesel when he was just 17 years old and worked as a bouncer in New York.
At the time, the Fast X star was working part-time at nightclubs and attended Hunter College. In those times, he would show off his dancing skills on his off days. The actor felt the need to take up a new name for creating an alternative identity when he was working as a bouncer.
Vin Diesel as Bloodshot
Vin Diesel broke into a theatre when he was 7
As per reports, The Last Witch Hunter star’s career as an actor started when he was just seven years old. He and his few friends had broken into a theatre, and the director caught them red-handed. He gave Diesel a small part in the play which was going to be staged the same evening.
However, the acting career path was not easy for him, and he had to struggle for years to get his big break in Los Angeles. After trying hard, still he could not get a career-changing role hence he decided to make his short film. He presented the movie at the Cannes Film Festival.
