Meet the young spy racer

n Diesel’s daughter Similce is all set for her acting debut with Fast & Furious spin-off, titled Spy Racers. It will begin streaming on December 26 on Netflix. Introducing her to the crowd before the premiere screening, Vin Diesel reflected on the day Similce was born, while 2009’s Fast & Furious was filming. Diesel revealed he had been keeping her birth date a secret, even from his co-stars, including from the late Paul Walker, whom Diesel calls Pablo.

Vin Diesel said, “Similce was born while we were shooting Fast 4. It was a long day, where Pablo and I were fighting each other in this scene. He came to my trailer at the end of the day and said, ‘Something is on your mind.’ I had a secret. I wasn’t telling anyone in the world that my daughter was about to be born. I’ll never forget what he said to me. He said, ‘Vin, you go into that hospital room, and you cut the umbilical cord. It will be the best day of your life.’ That’s the day that she was born. I say that because that’s how real the family-hood runs in the Fast & Furious saga, and why I am so proud.”
