Childhood and family of the actor
Mark Sinclair Vincent (Vin Diesel) was born in New York, in a poor family. The mother of the future actor, Delora, worked as a psychologist, but there was very little money. Win has a twin brother, Paul, who is currently a film editor in Hollywood. The children did not know the real father. From the age of three, the brothers are raised by their stepfather Irwin, the father of two more children: the brothers have a half-sister and brother. Irwin worked as a theater director, so the children often attended performances and performances. In 1970, Win develops a penchant for acting. One day the family decided to go to the circus, where Vin almost took part in the performance, but his mother stopped him in time.
Becoming an actor
Vin first appeared on stage at the age of seven. It's hard to believe, but at a young age, the future actor was very thin and tall, the children teased him with a "worm". In addition to that, he was dyslexic and left-handed, so Vin was very tight-lipped and shy at school. Soon he begins to attend the gym, by the age of 17 he becomes a local athlete.
Work in the theater did not satisfy the actor financially. In 1984, he shaves his head and takes a job as a bouncer at a nightclub. There he got his nickname. In 1987 he moved to the "City of Angels" to fulfill his dreams of becoming an actor. But for three years Vin has been working in a TV shop, starring in "Awakening", his cameo role. At the same time, Vin began collecting vinyl records from rock bands, and he continues his hobby to this day.
Vin became disillusioned with his dream and decided to return back to New York, where his mother offers him to make his own film. There is not enough money for a full-fledged picture and Vin decides on a short film "Many Faces", which was even appreciated in Cannes. Next comes the movie "Tramps", Vin receives an invitation from Steven Spielberg to star in the movie "Saving Private Ryan."
Success, as many know, came to Vin after filming the movie "Fast and the Furious". Then the film - "The Chronicles of Riddick", "Bald Nanny". At the moment, the actor has already starred in 84 films and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Filmography

On August 9, 2002, the film "XXX", directed by Rob Cohen, is released, where Vin plays a stuntman. The film's budget was $ 120 million. In 2003, the actor was nominated for an MTV award in the Best Actor category.

Vin also tries himself as a producer. The film was unable to cover its budget. In 2005, Vin Diesel was nominated for Worst Actor in the Golden Raspberry Awards.
Personal life of the actor
One of Vin's first girls was his school friend, who advised him to go to the "City of Angels" for his dream. Her name is not in the sources, but their relationship did not last long. Both of them were relatively young, so the romance lasted literally a year. The next five years of a serious relationship with the actor was not noticed. But Vin's relatives say that he is a caring and gentle person by nature, although his appearance sometimes scares many: a mountain of muscles with an increase of 192 centimeters. But with what difficulty was this praiseworthy result achieved? Years of training and self-control. As often happens, colleagues on the set begin to have feelings for each other: they spend a lot of time together, work together on one thing. But it is rare to find such novels that would last for a long time. This is exactly what happened with Vin Diesel and his colleague on the site. During the filming of Fast and the Furious in 2001, Diesel notices actress Michelle Rodriguez, one of the main characters. Based on their shared emotions from the film, they have a romance. But it does not last long, Michelle realizes that they are not suitable for each other and breaks off the relationship. The reason is not fully known. Perhaps Vin Diesel also understood this, therefore, as his relatives said, he endured the breakup calmly. But no one really knows how he experienced the break inside.
Soon the actor meets the Czech model Pavel Kharbkova. She also starred in an episode of the action movie "Three X's". In 2002, they declared themselves an official couple. The novel, like the previous one, did not last long: due to the frequent filming and travel of Vin, the model decides to end the relationship.
In 2006, fate brings the actor together with Mexican fashion model Paloma Jimenez. The couple spends a lot of time together, and two years later a daughter, Haniya Riley, is born. Two more years later, in September 2010, a son is born - Vincent Sinclair. And on March 16, 2015, the second daughter, Pauline, was named after the deceased friend and colleague on the Vin's site, Paul Walker.
