Vin Diesel: 'Fatherhood has changed me'

**Honey** · February 21st, 2009, 08:47 AM

Vin Diesel says he's a "changed man" since becoming a father.
The Fast and Furious star - who welcomed daughter Hania Riley in April last year - says parenthood has turned him into unashamed big softie.
He explains, "It's changed my life and everything that falls under that umbrella.
"You can't pull me away from my house as easily as you used to, because I've got a nine-month-old thing on me and it's heaven.
"I love it. I love being a dad. I'm a changed man."

Awwww....that is nice to hear. He seemed like a big ol' softie in that movie, the Pacifier, with all those kids. It was neat seeing him in that role after all his fighting, killing and blow 'em up movies. Nice looking guy.

Was there rumors at one time he was gay? I thought I remembered hearing that,...but I could be wrong.

It hasn't changed the fact that he needs a box office hit soon! Hence, fast and furious 4.

^^ LOL! I am glad though,...it gives me another chance to see Paul Waker as well. I hope F&TF 4 is as good as 1 and 2 were.

No no. He's still as closeted as a basket-full of pink care bears.

And yes, gay people do have children. How do you think they get here in the first place down thru histoire?

Gay or not, I liked the way that it was actually some time before word even got out that his daughter had been born instead of having the press on speed-dial and the lawyers waiting outside the delivery room to cut the magazine deal.

TomKat, J-Lo et al take note.

I didnt even know this man created off spring because I didnt think he'd be interested how to get one.

Vin: "You want me to stick my what......in where??"

I loved him in "The Pacifier". I didn't even know he was a daddy. This is great, I bet he is the most doting daddy in Hollywood.

I am one of those that do not believe he is gay. But even if he is. He is a good daddy. Have fun Vin, they grow up so fast.
