Vin Diesel apparently said no to Jean-Claude Van Damme appearing in Fast and Furious – according to the Bloodsport star, that is.
“They want me in Fast and Furious,” Van Damme toldThe Telegraph. “But Vin Diesel said, ‘No, I don’t want him'.”
Van Damme doesn’t explain how he would have fit into the Fast Family or in which Fast instalment he would have appeared, but there’s no doubt he would have felt right at home in the adrenaline-fueled rollercoaster that seems to follow Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto everywhere.
Fast and the Furious, meanwhile, is about to hit the end of the road. Confusion reigned, however, after Vin Diesel suggested Fast Xwould be followed by two more moviesdespite originally being billed as the first in a two-parter.
