The film is the latest in the "Fast & Furious" franchise,
which turned the actor into an action star. It is also the first
to be released since the death of co-star Paul Walker, who died
in a car crash in 2013 before filming finished.
Vin Diesel's "Furious" co-stars joined him at the ceremony on
Wednesday, alongside his companion, Paloma Jimenez, and the
couple's children.
The 47-year old, who was born Mark Sinclair Vincent, made his
off-Broadway stage debut as a child.
His first film role was an uncredited appearance in the 1990
drama "Awakenings". His 1994 independent short film
"Multi-Facial", which he wrote, produced, directed and starred
in, was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, grabbing the
attention of director Steven Spielberg who cast Vin Diesel in
the 1998 World War II drama "Saving Private Ryan".
Vin Diesel's other acting credits include "The Chronicles of
Riddick" trilogy and "Babylon A.D.".
