Learning that the great Sir Michael Caine is friends with none other than Fast Saga star Vin Diesel is one of those very scenarios, which deserves to be celebrated on the 2025 movie schedule. But that’s not the full extent to the relationship between these men,

Michael Caine says that he immediately sensed 'a connection' when he met Vin Diesel 30 years ago: 'I just instinctively greeted him with a hug and announced to the whole room, ‘This is my son!'

Younger movie fans may not think of Michael Caine as a badass action star, but in films like Get Carter (1971) and The Italian Job (1969), Caine was, in many ways, the guy who laid the foundation for The Fast and the Furious franchise to be popular.
