Vin Diesel Sings “ see you again “ for Paul Walker at the movie awards
Transcript
00:00And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.
00:05I love you guys!
00:07Here with Mr. Vin Diesel, who moments ago, I wasn't in there, but I understand a little singing happened?
00:12What? That's not like me.
00:14That doesn't sound like Vin Diesel.
00:15Come on! I've never sang in my life. It wasn't me. It didn't even look like me.
00:19It was you.
00:20Oh, man.
00:21So how did this come about? Was this your idea of someone...
00:24Well, it's my four-year-old son. He's been singing that song pretty intensely.
00:30And whenever, like, Michelle or Natalie or Tyrese is over at the house, he sings it for them and they start crying.
00:37So it was a little homage to the little one at home.
00:40When's the cover album? When's the actual full-on Vin Diesel album? This is Baby Steps. Come on, we're ready.
00:45So Baby Steps, why am I living in the world of Baby Steps?
00:49Go for it, man.
00:50I need to go for it. I need to go for it. And I will someday.
00:54I don't have to be afraid. And I don't need to be shy.
00:57And in China, they say,
00:59Wo Hai Shu.
01:01Which means?
01:03I am shy.
01:05And you are Groot as well.
01:06And I am Groot, guys.
01:08But, you know, I was going to bring...
01:10I was going to bring the Groot stilts.
01:14I was going to bring the Groot stilts.
01:16Save that for a rainy day.
01:17Save that for a rainy day. Why do it now?
01:19Let's talk faster for a second because, man, this film has taken the world by storm.
01:23Biggest one yet.
01:24This has got to be a source of amazing pride for you to feel what's happening.
01:28There's so much work.
01:29I mean, you remember in 2013, you interviewed us in London.
01:36And you saw it there.
01:40You saw what that family was there.
01:45It's a beautiful thing.
01:48It's bittersweet, of course.
01:50But it's the fact that the world embraced it and the fact that the world really just allowed it to be Paul's legacy
02:02and kind of shared that moment with us and allowed it to honor him the way that they did.
02:11It's just a beautiful thing.
02:13It was a class act, the way you guys handled the whole thing, I have to say.
02:15Looking ahead, the franchise, it sounds like you've hinted that you might be returning to New York.
02:21And there are some rumors that Ava Mendes might come back into the fold.
02:24What can you say, man?
02:25Well, I was trying to keep it close to the best throughout the release.
02:32You know, Paul used to say that eight was guaranteed.
02:38And in some ways, when your brother guarantees something, you sometimes feel like you have to make sure it comes to pass.
02:50So if fate has it, fate, F8, if fate has it, then you'll get this when you hear about it, seven was for Paul, eight is from Paul.
03:14And last thing for you, man, looking ahead, Guardians is going to continue, we know.
03:18Are you hearing anything about what we can expect from Groot?
03:22I'm hearing really cool things about what we can expect from Groot.
03:26James Gunn is so excited.
03:29And every time I talk to James Gunn, you hear the excitement in his voice, and that makes me excited.
03:34I'm really excited about having the opportunity to work with the whole Guardians of the Galaxy family.
03:44And Marvel's been really cool.
03:47And everything's just really cool.
03:49Things are good right now, man.
03:50And a lot of nominations to come as we stand here today.
03:54So I think you might walk out with a couple of golden popsicles.
03:56Yeah, this is an outrage!
03:58Good to see you, buddy.
03:59Good to see you, man.
04:00Thanks, man.
04:00Thanks for everything.
