Vin Diesel loves him some Facebook. That’s his thing. So, of course, he’s going to take to Facebook to defend himself amid allegations of some diva-like behavior from him on the Fast & Furious 7 set:

There wasn’t a scene in the saga he didn’t want to discuss, improve... even with just a changing of a line or adding a specific nuance to enrich a moment. He did it with the pride of knowing, that over a decade of portraying Brian, through four directors, multiple writers and new producers he was able to maintain the inner core of the character he created. Those work ethics and drive to be both truthful, and in his own way, evolve the decade spanning character is what made his character as iconic as it has become. He always knew I would fight for him… whether it was to protect his deal or to protect his integrity… and he knew that if it made for a better film, I was going to do whatever it took… it is why together, we won best duo... twice, 12 years apart. With our new ambitious vfx team, the whole cast and crew has had to adjust to this awkward and uncomfortable process of pixels over people. Aside from the obvious strains it places on the director, the challenge is not to allow it to compromise what makes the character so special.

The person he is referring to, of course, is co-star Paul Walker, whose tragic death in the middle of filming has significantly complicated the Fast 7 production.

Don’t worry, Vin. We know you’re stressed, and we don’t care what the haters say. We’ll ride with you any day.
