Vin Diesel: Ben Affleck
built 220 days ago
Just a few major films into his career, Diesel had earned a reputation for being a difficult actor to work with. Although he wouldn't comment on it, he had been, according to Entertainment Weekly, "thrown off" the film Reindeer Games, which starred Ben Affleck and Charlize Theron, for his demands before filming had even started. David Twohy, director of Pitch Black, defended the actor. Twohy had heard rumors about Diesel's bad attitude, but found the reputation unearned. "Vin was always good energy for me," he told Entertainment Weekly. In an interview, Madison writer David Kirby found the actor "generous of spirit and time...one of those increasingly rare creatures in Hollywood--a good guy."

Despite the Reindeer Games fiasco, Vin now found himself starring alongside Ben Affleck (and Ribisi) in Boiler Room. Here Ribisi played a young hustler who gets drawn into a shady world of illegal brokers, led by Affleck, who's playing much the same character as Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glenn Ross. Diesel shone once more as one of the young stars of the firm. Drunk, violent and a bad, bad lad, he's ... the only one with any honour. A complicated character, as all Diesel's characters would henceforth be.

For that reason, Diesel prefers dating in Europe, where he’s not as easily recognized, according to the magazine. He thinks celebrity-on-celebrity hookups are crazy. People going through your trash, taking your photo at Starbucks, mashing up your last names into a Bennifer-style punch line. “It’s a sucker’s bet,” he says.
