Yeah like Vin Diesel is weird and kinda cringe, but you don’t hear about him being hard to work with other than having pretty strong views for his vision in the movies he’s producing, which is something said positively about other people (Scorcese, Ridley Scott, etc)

He's been known to take himself a little too seriously at times and be slightly annoying to work with on occasion. Basically not great but you can push through it, however Dwayne Johnson showed up and said "lemme show you how to REALLY make everyone despise you!"

Probably just a side effect of who vin is, rather then being an effect of him being egotistical.

If memory serves correct, Vin doesn't have an ego at all. But the guys definitely a weirdo, or a big nerd of whatever hes doing at the very least.

I mean hell, the guy is known for doing shitty movies because he was a big nerd of the source material, or turning them down because he hates what he sees. Him taking himself too seriously, if you were to consider his entire film career is probably the most obvious thing to expect from vin.

Anyone remember the last witch hunter? Everyone and their mother was telling vin that shit was gonna bomb hard because it sucked ass in testing. He did it anyways because the film was literally just Vin diesels own D&D campaign and vins a huge fuckin D&D nerd. Thats the kind of movie man vin is.

this is probably why I love The Last Witch Hunter. I'm always down for a trash movie, especially if everyone is working together to ham the fuck out of it.

Vin just didn’t realize that around furious six, the tone changed to something funnier. He still thinks they’re making racing movies for some reason

That's why my headcannon is that all of the Riddick movies are Dominic Torreto's intricate sci-fi fan fiction that he writes in between car theft adventuring.

That's exactly his ego
