Is he the luckiest actor of all time?

>>81992272
No, that would be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

He's a shitty actor that just happened to get work with talented directors that knew how to handle him.

Without people like Cameron and Verhoeven, he'd have been making shitty SyFy channel movies his whole life.

Quite obviously this.

>>81992355
Or modern day equivalent The Rock

Although then you could say they worked hard for their bodies

>>81992272
Is it true he rented a Lamborghini a drove to producer parties until he got "discovered"?

>>81992355
honestly this. Arnie is not a good actor at all, he was lucky there were people around him that had good ideas and knew how to use him

if not for that, movies like Junior would be your average arnie movie

>>81992272
I don't believe in luck. Vin is where he is because he wanted it and worked for it.

>>81992355
This is a horrible example. Arnie is known to be a social engineer. Just read a bit of his life journey and you will realise that Arnie is an absolute role model when it comes to persistently chasing your goals.

arne is a good actor actually

He won the lottery with the Fast And Furious franchise.

It's incredible how that shitty meme of movie can be so succesful. Breaking box office records and all of that. Is just insane that franchise.

>>81992355
Arnold wasn't lucky, he just worked his ass off, Vin is a classic example of being in the right place at the right time

>>81992355
Fuck off you nu male fuck, arnie is an American treasure, whilst vin diesel is some candyass fat slob

b-but muh based riddick
>Chronicles did poorly at the box office, grossing only $55 million of its rumored $150 mil budget. After the critical and financial failure, the studio wouldn't agree to a sequel. Diesel was dedicated to making one happen. He did everything from agreeing to make a cameo in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in exchange for the rights to Riddick, all the way to mortgaging his own house. Yet even all that wasn't enough to let them create another sprawling epic like their imagined Necroverse movie. As a way of trying to breathe life into the franchise, they created a scaled-down, cheaper movie with elements closer to the first movie.

lol okay

I heard he refinanced his house to put up for one of the FF movies, could be part 3 or 4 I don't remember. He's made really stupid career choices but somehow managed to still do OK.

XXX could have been a decent franchise but he passed on doing part 2 to do pitch black....

>losers from chinese autism awareness forum judging someone's else effort
come back when you achieve even quarter of what Diesel did

The Rock is luckier.

>>81994339
He's also made decent videogames with his game studio.

>>81994413
He financed, wrote. and produced the initial short film that Spielberg eventually saw and cast him from for Saving Private Ryan. Vin created his shot.

>>81995539
you have to go back

>>81992272
>luck
He apparently worked his butt off to get noticed and then had the fortitude to pass up a lot of fluff roles in order to push ahead projects he actually cared about, like Riddick, XXX and the FF series.
Gotta admire a guy who has some semblance of priorities in such a fake industry.
