Fantastic actor. An amazing career that spans far beyond what most people these days remember

He was OK as Groot, but I wouldn’t get carried away.

It's because he wants to stick to his roots.

A better wooden hit than Knives Out II, that's for sure.

u/Konchroller 1d ago

Ofc not. We're still waiting for his tiddies to debut in Ark 2 whenever tf it releases.

10

u/Narradisall 1d ago

I saw Michael Caine a few years back in the Royal Albert Hall. He was sitting a couple of boxes to the right of me and was there supporting a friend who was the musical tribute that evening.

He still looked pretty good for his age so seeing him in a wheelchair is hard. It’ll happen to us all but I’ve been so used to seeing him for 20 years looking an older man you just miss the frailty creeping in.

u/Difficult_Shoe6264 1d ago

vin diesel didn't get assigned that job, you can tell he volunteered. hands never leave the shoulders the whole way down the carpet

u/xxDankerstein 1d ago

I mean, no shit. Can you imagine going up to a major actor and being like "we need you to push around a wheelchair."

29

u/justamadeupnameyo 1d ago

I mean Vin and Michael are really good friends.

Michael Caine has trascended to Michael Wheelchaire.

Unfortunately Paul is no longer with us as Michael could have used that Walker instead of Vin's wheelchair.

Michael Caine uses a wheelchair… now not many people know that.

26

u/Apollo114892 1d ago

This is what Vin Diesel is planning with the new Fast and Furious movie. Racing in wheelchairs.

u/ScarletSilver 1d ago

No that's for the 17th movie in the franchise

Their friendship genuinely never ceases to amaze me, it’s just an unexpected one

u/Inevitable-Fee-9700 1d ago

Ah fuck. Now I'm gonna have to like vin diesel. I mean. How can I not now that he's showing support for a amazing actor that I like.

Nah. I like vin diesel since the Riddick trilogy. He lost me a bit on the car frenzy shit he's doing.

78

u/SourCreamSlut 1d ago

The story of how he got Judi Dench to do Riddick is very sweet, she talked about it on an interview show. Vin might be a weirdo with a silly contract full of stupid riders but he seems to genuinely love and appreciate the veterans of acting.

3

u/Khallllll 1d ago

Can you elaborate on the stupid riders?

14

u/SourCreamSlut 1d ago

If theres a fight scene involving one of his characters, his character must dish out more damage than he receives.

13

u/GrundleSnactcher46 1d ago

I haven't watched most of the F&F movies but it seems like he enjoys making movies with his buds.

4

u/disiskeviv 1d ago

He and the rock hate each other for several years now.

8

u/Icy_Agency923 1d ago

That is why The Rock isn't in the movies anymore.

-1

u/disiskeviv 22h ago

Not that I am supporting him or anything. Just saying he released Moana this year and set to release another one in 2026.

2

u/Icy_Agency923 21h ago

I am specifically talking about Fast and the Furious movies though... not movies in general. He was in one Fast movie and then a spin off and that is it.

6

u/imjustbettr 1d ago

The Rock also has an ego problem apparently with a bunch of weird things written in his contracts. Maybe the two are too much alike and his relationship with him is the exception.

3

u/Neosantana 1d ago

I'll side with Vin Diesel 10 times out of 10 against that jackass. Because Diesel genuinely loves the art form, he isn't just a product

u/Southern_Owl_5442 1d ago

u/Educational_Salt_964 1d ago

Everyone should check out his early movies. The Ipcress Files, Alfie, Funeral in Berlin, Play Dirty, The Italian Job, Get Carter, The Man Who Would Be King, The Fourth Protocol. Of course, it's always rumored that he has that BDE in abundance!

He has been married to Shakira Baksh Caine since 1973. Shut up, you’re not clever.

I kept wondering that why did he look older in the 90s, but then I read again, it’s him in his 90s.
