Vin Diesel Reminds You That He Exists / Is A Dad

Vin Diesel is promoting some new, stupid, probably totally Chronicles-of-Ridic movie we’re not going to watch and is talking about what it’s like to be a dad. Yeah, you’d forgotten about his having a baby with Mexican model Paloma Jimenez, huh? Not us! We think about Vin Diesel all day, every day. Here’s an inside look at what it’s like being raised by a man with a stupid nickname. On screaming at babies to make them shut the fuck up:

Whenever the babies started crying, they’d call me and I’d walk over and say, ‘OK, I can handle this.’ I’d pick up the baby who was crying and make this little noise, like, ‘Eeeeeee,’ and the baby would stop crying. They actually had some t-shirts made up for the crew that had ‘Eeeeeee’ on them.

Certainly beats Marc “Burp Whisperer” Anthony’s nickname. On people not even -caring- knowing he’s a dad:

I guess it’s because of all the tough guys I’ve put on the screen. People go, ‘You’re a dad? You’re changing diapers? What’s up with the world?’ But someone once told me that, when you have a child, it opens up parts of your heart that you never knew existed. And it is so true. It’s like you have a child and you think, ‘Everything that I’ve done up until this point is insignificant in comparison to being a father.’ It’s a beautiful, beautiful thing.

K, fine. That was kind of sweet. You big-time action hero, you.
