Vin Diesel Ignores The Teleprompter At CinemaCon
Vin Diesel cheered the crowd at the CinemaCon as he went off-script while talking about his ‘Fast & Furious‘ franchise. “I should be reading from the teleprompter. But you guys don’t give a shit about the teleprompter,” he said.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Diesel ignored the scripted lines as they were very curated and mentioned Marvel, which the actor might have felt was boring. “Thank you for riding with me for a quarter of a century,” he said to the crowd.
He further said, “I like this room better than the Oscars. And you know I really mean that … because all those people who are sitting in the audience in the Oscars, are only there because of you.”

The long-running and commercially successful franchise will conclude with its 11th installment. ‘Fast X‘, the penultimate film in the franchise, is slated to release theatrically on May 19, 2023.
